Like many chiropractic clinics, we are a small business and we grow by word of mouth.

We therefore welcome referrals and work hard to build good relationships with our customers so this comes naturally. However, it is also accepted that small businesses can ask people for referrals ....... but when we suggest this to our clients who have their own practice, many people find it very hard to do this.

Our suggestion: Why not consider putting some chosen wording onto your brochure / website / business cards / letter footers to get this message across. This is one we have provided to chiropractors before:

If you feel we offer a good service that someone else may benefit from, please consider referring us to colleagues, friends or family seeking a chiropractor. Thank you in advance.

If you are keen to build up your practice the quickest, cheapest, easist and most importantly successful way to get new high quality patients is to ask your exisitng patients for a referral. 9/10 people are happy to make referrals but dont always think about it until they are actually asked.

The clients and patients alike that come through from referrals, we find are generally nicer to deal with, stay with you for longer and refer others to keep your practice growing.
