It contains some of
the strongest things I think I may have ever shared about making
BIG MONEY as a chiropractor. I can’t ethically sit here and
apologize if I offend you with anything I say in the next bunch of
pages, because doing so would deny my belief in everything I’ve
written. Read this Report carefully. This is LIFE-ALTERING
material.
November 29th
From the desk of Todd Brown
Things are about the change significantly for the chiropractors who don’t get this…
The old chiropractic marketing model is dying quickly, and the new model is rapidly
coming on the scene.
The doctors who are savvy enough to catch the wave will give themselves a huge
competitive advantage over their chiropractic competition and put themselves on
the fast track to significant financial growth (and personal income).
The doctors who aren’t sharp enough to see what’s going on… well… they’re going
to slide right to the bottom of the field in practice size, income, and certainly
lifestyle.
You’ll see these savvy doctors spending far less on marketing, having loads of free
time, and living a lifestyle most doctors will only be able to envy… and… all while
For now, though, let me tell you why you should listen to everything I have to
share in this Blueprint about building a million-dollar chiropractic practice, and what
you can expect from the remaining pages of this document.
Since thousands of doctors are reading this Blueprint, many of which have never
come in contact with me before, let me quickly share some background.
Over the last several years, I’ve had direct telephone access to some of the most
recognized business authors, speakers, and experts in existence, including Tim
Ferriss, author of the New York Times Best Seller “The 4-Hour Work Week”, Ivan
In late 2006 my company was responsible for the launch of a patent pending piece
of automated, multi-media marketing technology – The Chiropractic Dashboard –
that has single-handedly been responsible for more wealth creation for
chiropractors than any other automated practice-building technology to date.
In fact, as of mid-2007, only a handful of months after the initial release of our
Dashboard technology, we already have over 370 testimonials and case
studies on file from practitioners in over 16 different countries around the world,
raving about how my systems have radically improved their practices and, more
importantly, their lives.
In the remaining pages of this Blueprint what you’ll find are my most recent
revelations about what it takes to create a million to multi-million-dollar chiropractic
practice.
As you’ll soon realize, I’m not one to pull any punches, sugar coat things, or say
what it is my students, listeners, readers, etc., want to hear.
I’m going to tell you like it is and hope that as a fellow professional and business
owner (which is what you are as a chiropractor) you are big enough… that is…
mature enough… to have an open mind and listen, looking for application within
your own practice.
The saddest thing for me to see is a chiropractor who immediately jumps to the
conclusion that what I share doesn’t apply to their practice (for some ridiculously
unknown reason), and instantly starts their thought process with “Yeah, but…”.
Frankly, if you’re an excuse maker, are looking for a get rich quick scheme, aren’t
willing to change and grow to achieve your most important goals, or just aren’t
honestly interested in creating a million-dollar chiropractic practice, this Blueprint is
definitely NOT for you.
If that describes you, I highly advise you to lock the door, take the phone off the
hook, and don’t
on’t leave the room until you’ve finished reading the rest of this
document. I guarantee it will change your life… and I’ll prove it.
So, why is it then that average chiropractor is earning less money today
than years ago? And in some cases, much less?
The average income for the typical chiropractor has been dropping so much, the
editor of Dynamic Chiropractic, Donald Petersen, even came clean by admitting,
“The number of phone calls and emails we receive from new DC’
DC’ss is on the
increase. Many are questioning why they can’t seem to be able to make a
Regardless of where your personal income is at, you’ve got to admit, most
chiropractors also don’t get the respect they deserve as “doctors” from the rest of
the healthcare community.
Even to this day, managed care and the insurance companies are still trying to
figure out new ways to take an even bigger piece of your income. It almost feels as
if they’re just out to get chiropractors… to make it almost impossible to practice as
a chiropractor. And if that isn’t bad enough…
Combine all of that with the fact that most doctors agree that the chiropractic
profession is way overcrowded and getting worse.
Personally, I believe this is exactly why almost all of the respected chiropractic
experts are now saying… if doctors don’t do something different from what they’re
doing right now, things are only going to get worse for them. Much worse.
Meanwhile, as more and more chiropractors are seeing their incomes shrink by the
month, ironically, the fastest growing demographic segment in the United States is
In other words, at the same time we’re seeing more and more chiropractors
frustrated and struggling financially we’re seeing a rapid increase in the number
and quantity of wealthy people in our society… people who have and do spend
their money to improve their health, wellness, longevity, etc.
It only takes a quick look at the massive surge in vitamin supplement consumption,
the increase in health club memberships, and the rapid rise and popularity of such
stores as Whole Foods – selling high-priced organic and healthy foods – to quickly
recognize that people are in fact spending money to improve their health and
wellness.
So, if it’s not a lacking marketplace need, demand or ability that’s responsible for
the decreasing incomes and depressing practice outlook for most chiropractors,
what is the cause?
The Chiropractic
Practice-Building &
Marketing Mess
Exposed
Let me first paint a picture for
you, then ask you a question…
I’d say it’d never be any easier than at that very moment.
As the only one offering consumers that type of transportation, your marketing and
promotion plan could probably be rather simplistic, yet you’d continue to make a
killing. Now, let’s fast forward to late 2007.
You’d be lucky to sell a single car. And, you’d be out of business and extinct
practically overnight.
Why?
Because you can’t market and promote a product or service the same
way when you have no or very few competitors as you do when you have
tons and tons of competitors (over 23.7 every 5 miles on average), all trying to
find the latest and greatest way to become the number one chiropractor in your
geographic area and put you out of practice in the process. You’ll get clobbered.
And, FAST!
You see, the first major blunder almost every chiropractor is making
today is nothing more than the use of outdated, ineffective, and hence,
now expensive marketing and practice promotion methods that will
continue to bury them if they continue to use them.
You think it’s as easy today to get someone’s attention as it was just 5
years ago?
Not a shot!
Yet, have your chiropractic marketing tactics and methods evolved accordingly?
Really… have they?
And, frankly, as if the increased difficulty of grabbing attention wasn’t bad enough,
the costs associated with trying to grab attention today in the common
chiropractic marketing mediums have, and will continue to, increase
every year.
Well?
There’s no denying it… it’s more expensive, more expensive, and more expensive!
In fact, just a couple of months ago the U.S. Postal Service had
another significant increase in postage rates. And, if history has
taught us anything, we’re going to see many, many more of these
increases in the near future, making it more and more expensive and
difficult for you to try to grow your practice the with these old school methods.
46% of all magazine readers are engaged in some other activity while
reading.
Time, Newsweek, and U.S. News and World Report continue to struggle to
hold on to readers and may be moving away from print in trying different
strategies to win audience.
New audio listening devices such as mp3 players, celcelll phones that play
music, Internet radio, and satellite radio are steadily and significantly
chipping away at traditional radio.
Today, people are not only much more resistant (and oblivious) to the typical
chiropractic
ic advertisements in the typical media (i.e. lo
local
cal newspapers and direct
mail) because there is so much vying for their attention, but they’re turning to
these media far less often than ever before. Meanwhile, chiropractors trying to
market their practice with the old model are paying more than ever before to try
and attract new patients.
For the purpose of this Report, when I use the word “metric” or “metrics”, I’m
referring to the performance and financial numbers within your practice.
Some examples of metrics within your chiropractic practice are: number of patient
leads generated per month, percentage of leads converted into patients, referral
rate per patient, cash flow, operating profit margin, etc.
When viewed and used in combination, these two metrics predict how competitive
you can be in your marketplace, whether you’re at a competitive advantage or
disadvantage with your chiropractic competitors, and the likelihood of you
dominating your target market and geographic area as the #1 chiropractor or
getting trounced by your competitors.
What are the two metrics I’m referring too? I’m glad you asked.
When combined, your cost to acquire a new patient and the lifetime
value of the average patient tell us almost everything we need to know
about your chiropractic practice. Before I explain exactly how these metrics
give us this critical information, let’s lay out some simple definitions of these two
key practice indicators.
The cost to acquire a new patient is the average dollar amount you invest to get
one new patient. For instance, if you invest $2,000 on marketing in a single month
and end the month with 10 new patients, your cost of acquisition is $200 per new
patient.
Your lifetime patient value, arguably the most important number in any chiropractic
practice, is the average dollar value of an average patient over the life of their
So, what does all of this talk of math and metrics have to do with whether or not
your chiropractic practice will kick butt and dominate your marketplace or not?
EVERYTHING!
But, it’s what lies beneath the basics of those two metrics where the real gold is
hiding in your chiropractic practice.
You see, once you understand how these two metrics interact and how they
directly affect your bottom line cash, you should quickly realize that in order to
grow a million-dollar chiropractic operation you need to positively impact both of
those numbers… so you can positively impact your cash.
In its most simplistic explanation: your average new patient acquisition cost
needs to be less than your competitors and the average patient must be
worth a lot more to your practice than to your competitors.
For one, when you’re acquiring new patients for a fraction of what it’s costing
competitors to acquire new patients, and your patients are worth a lot more to your
practice than their patients are to them, you can do so much more to grow
your practice simply because you have so much more profit per patient
than they do.
For mathematical simplicity, imagine for a moment that the lifetime profit per
patient for you is $1,000 while for your competitors it’s $500. Who has the
advantage when it comes to marketing?
Why?
Because, legitimately, you could spend $600 to acquire a single new patient… with
dancing bears and singing midgets if need be… and still walk away with a $400
lifetime profit per patient. If your chiropractic competitors tried to do that they
would go negative by $100 per new patient and would wind up in Staples looking
for the newest resume software.
Why?
Because, if you wanted, you could run all kinds of exciting and fun referral contests
with really neat and expensive prizes, and still make a killing per new referred
And, who has the advantage when it comes to generating networking partners who
send you referrals every single month?
Why?
Because you can offer all kinds of fun and cool incentives to your partners that your
competitors can’t afford to offer (even if gifting isn’t allowed you could donate
money to their favorite charity).
You think this would allow you to become the chiropractor who more businesses
refer their customers, clients, patients, etc., too than anyone else? You better
believe it would. And, quickly!
All of this… and so much more… is why the new chiropractic marketing and
practice-building model is allowing savvy doctors to pound their
competitors, dominate their geographic areas, rake in the cash, and live
lifestyles nobody ever thought a chiropractor would in 2007.
In fact, here’s how you can do this in your chiropractic practice… 2. Offer an upsell

But, frankly, that’s not even the main reason why the new chiropractic marketing
model, of using online technology

incomes so quickly.
For instance…
What do you think is more likely to grab someone’s attention… an offer for a

But, quite honestly, do you really want to know the best part of using online
technology to market your chiropractic practice?
It’s not even the tremendous effectiveness right now of online video and audio.
In other words, the new chiropractic marketing model leverages the use of
highly-effective, yet ultra-inexpensive, online technologies to systemize
and automate the delivery of multi-media marketing materials and the building of
your practice… and… at a fraction of what other doctors are spending on the tired,
worn-out, old marketing approaches that just don’t work anymore.
So, in essence, with the new model, you’re using better, more effective, more
entertaining, more attention-grabbing marketing with videos and audios… and it’s
costing you just a fraction of what you’re spending now… so much less than your
competitors.
And the whole thing is happening for you 24/7 on total autopilot, without you
having to do anything.
Because how in the world can they expect to compete against another
chiropractor who is spending practically nothing every m

marketing, yet has videos, audios, webpages, emails, etc., working for

practice?
… all done with video, audio, email… and… all on autopilot leveraging the
ridiculously low cost of it all!!!
THAT’S the new chiropractic marketing model. And THAT’S how you build a killer
chiropractic practice today.
If the idea of dominating your geographic area, making more money than 90% of
the chiropractors out there, and doing it with far, far less effort and work is
something you’d love to experience, I highly advise you to start leveraging the
power of online chiropractic marketing via multi-media technologies.
They’re cheap.
They’re automatic.
And they are working like gangbusters for the doctors using them.
If that’s something you’re interested in, but you’re a little intimidated by computers
or technology or the Internet, don’t feel bad. You’re not alone. Most chiropractors
feel the same exact way.
In that case, you should seriously consider taking a peek right now at the
Chiropractic Dashboard. It uses the patent pending Auto-Patient Acquisition
Technology to execute the entire new chiropractic marketing model for you,
without you having to do anything!
