When it comes to building a healthy and sustainable TCM or acupuncture practice, most practitioners focus on outside marketing to get new patients in the doors. But they often lack the skills to retain them long enough to provide effective treatment.
And when your best source of new patients is referrals by the happy and satisfied people you’ve helped, you’re missing out on a valuable practicing building tool – perhaps the best tool you can have to build and sustain your practice.
Learn the five simple steps you can take to ethically build patient retention, help your patients get the results they want, and create happy people who are motivated to refer their friends and family to you.
