Episode Recap
In this season’s fifth episode, we’re going to talk all about how to get started with recurring or subscription products.

There’s all kinds of subscription products now, and often it is actually easier for your patients and for you to recommend a subscription rather than a product.

We’re doing them and we’re doing us a favor when we make the recommendation of a solution, not just an event.
Most people are looking for outcomes, not just the cheapest option.
The most stressful thing most chiropractors deal with is needing more new patients, right?
It’s the most common reason they need more new patients because they need more money.
When you make recommendations based on their needs, not yours, that comes through.
And so subscriptions or recurring programs and those types of things, in most cases, most of the time, is actually to your patient’s greatest benefit and to yours as well.
They stay engaged with your practice because they’re receiving the recommended product.

They’re utilizing the product.
Everybody is able to continually benefit off of that.
That’s wonderful because it also extends the relationship that you have outside of just the hands on care that you deliver.
And that starts to, as we’ve discussed, diversify your income streams.
It starts to stabilize your revenue and uncertain market conditions.
If there was ever a time that people want the convenience of drop ship it to my house month after month after month so I don’t have to remember and go out anywhere, this is that time.
You’ve got your rubbing creams, your tapes, your supplements, and more.
There are even more consumable products that are not just supplements if you’re creative.
Some chiropractors come up with memberships.
They’ll teach something to a VIP client or group of clients for a monthly fee – i.e. a membership.
The goal here is to make your life as financially stress free as possible as ethically as possible by being of service.
What are the products that all people – or almost all people – need almost every day, regardless of condition?
Is there a demand?
Is it profitable and is it relevant to what you’re teaching?
Now you’re able to not only control the destiny of your practice by creating additional revenue opportunities, but you also have a new way to serve your clients and your patients.
