This is an excerpt from Chapter 1 of my new, Amazon No.1 Best Selling Marketing book for Physical Therapists<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0\u201cNew Patient Accelerator Method: How I Scaled A Four Location, $1,000,000 + Cash Pay Clinic \u2013 In A Place Where Health Care Is Free (\u2026And, In One Of The Poorest Parts Of The Country)<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“Here\u2019s the worst bit about a lack of early marketing success: the business owner, still scared from the loss and disappointment of the failed marketing campaign, now concludes that \u201cmarketing doesn\u2019t work in my town\u201d or that \u201cmarketing doesn\u2019t work for physical therapy clinics\u201d. He is convinced that the only way to grow is to do what everyone else does – market to doctors or wait for referrals from past patients.<\/p>\n

With that way of thinking the business owner is now sentenced to a lifetime of perpetual struggle doing what everyone else does, and getting what everyone else gets \u2013 a practice struggling to make a profit.<\/p>\n

I appreciate that some people are addicted to that struggle \u2013 but I assure you, it does not have to be that way. And, if any of that sounds familiar then you are not alone, as this is pretty much the same mistake that I made, and it is how my first two years trying to market my clinic directly to the public looked.<\/p>\n

Thankfully though I discovered that marketing does work in my town and it does work for physical therapy clinics \u2013 I just needed to change what I was doing and how I was doing it. I needed to change the strategy.<\/p>\n

I needed to accept that I couldn\u2019t help anybody and everybody in pain and I needed to get clear on \u201cwho\u201d it was I wanted to talk to (my target market). Once I knew that, it made it much easier to change the message in my ad.<\/p>\n

I realized that words are powerful, and much like going on a first date, if I talked more about me (than her), I wouldn\u2019t get a second one. The same is true with marketing. The ads have to talk more about them than you and you have to give them a reason to get in touch with you that is more exciting and less risky than the \u201ccall now to book an appointment\u201d phrase that was the ruin of nearly every ad I ever ran.”<\/p>\n
