reluctance?

The Referral Business Card - 1


The Referral Business Card - 2


WOM language
Are you happy with the clinical result we have achieved?
Are you happy with the customer service experience?
Can we remind you that our practice grows through personal recommendation.
We are looking for new patients and we would love to see more people like you.
Would you have any objection to taking 3 of our referral business cards and
passing them on to any family, friends or colleagues who you feel would benefit
from a visit to a practice like ours?


Are you missing the
trick?
1.What did the patient attend for?
2.Did you up-sell?
3.Did you invite them to become members of
the practice?
4.Did you request referrals?
5.Did you connect?
6.Have you engaged?
