Fundamentals of Marketing for Doctors& Healthcare providers

Analyze your competition by gathering data on other practices, services, fees, and patient experience using four methods: colleagues, acquaintances, online search, and mystery shopping, to define your niche.

Define your niche by examining demographics, benefits, and use rate to target a specific patient group, gain competitive distinction, and build a focused brand image and positioning.

Differentiate your practice by turning features into patient benefits and defining a unique selling proposition to position you clearly in your market.

Recap the three step marketing system, cover market and competition analysis, then define unique selling proposition and position statements, and explore networking, referrals, print media, websites, and Facebook.

Build referrals by nurturing long-term relationships with patients, acquaintances, and social media, address needs and fears, and track sources to focus on top referrers.
