Dear Friends at Effective Management,

I want to take a brief moment from my newly busy practice to express thanks for all of the help that you have given me over the last few months. Since signing up and beginning Phase 1 of the Effective Management program, my office has enjoyed a great deal of success. It is quite obvious that there are three things one needs to build a successful Chiropractic office. They are: new patients, new patients and new patients! Since beginning Phase 1 my monthly number of new patients has actually doubled. Of course patient volume and income have followed as well but the increase in new patient has been the key. The best part is that Effective Management didn’t just provide with a quick hit to make my numbers look good. They actually developed a program that will keep new patients coming in. It is a little like weight loss; what good is losing the weight if you can’t keep the pounds off?

So, armed with a marketing plan I was able to double my new patients and keep more new ones coming in. But wait, there’s more! Not only did I learn how to get more new patients, I also learned how to get them to commit to the care they need, how to get them to refer and how to really build the practice that I’ve always wanted. The workshops offered in Phase 1 helped with that.

But wait, there’s more! I also learned some important things about myself as a person and about the people around me and how they affect me. The Ups and Downs course as well as the Personal Values and Integrity Course were key in helping to put my professional life in order. I think the instructor, Scott Linde, is the perfect teacher for these courses. He brought that “been through this too, and won” attitude to the table which is important when doing something new.

Finally I feel indebted to the folks at Effective Management for helping me get closer to my goals. Dr. Dan, Scott, Rob, Vidya and Wendy have all been great to work with. Their personal attention has made all the difference. I truly believe that there is nowhere else that you could go to get as complete and well-rounded a program as this, along with all of the personal attention from people who really care about your success.

Thank you Effective Management!
