How do I reach medical doctors for referrals?
- Help get your patients to talk to their doctors about you
- Identify & target the doctors in your area
Steps to targeting doctors: - Google "general medicine physicians" for your specific town to create a master list
- Call each of these providers on your master list
- Speak to the doctor directly, or their assistant
- Tell them: "I am looking for physicians in this area interested in crating referral relationships"
How do I show up to the meeting in a way where they will want to refer to me? Also, as an acupuncturist, how do I help them?
What materials should I bring to the meeting?
As always, I love to hear from you. Feel free to drop me a line. You can reach me at mintotsai@jasminepm.com.
