Notas del editor
- For many years now we have been trying to increase the sales of multiple pairs at the ECP level.
- Has it been working?
- Is this how the ECP’s and their staff view what we are trying to do?
- We have talked to them about how to label the additional pairs>
- We have given them a Mission Statement to use to justify what they are trying to accomplish. And they all agree, it is something they need to do! So why are multiple pair sales still low?
- We make an assumption that they need more than one pair to solve all of their visual needs, but fail to justify and sell them on the concept.
- One area we may have failed to help them understand is the area of disease prevention.
- Let’s examine some of the facts… Highlight the bullet points
- We know that many of this disorders are due to UV light and are cumulative over one’s lifetime.
- Everyone needs protection from the damaging effects of UV light, some may be at higher risk than others. Highlight the bullet points
- First, lets look at why Children, those under 18 years of age, need UV protection.
- The crystalline lens in the child’s eye is perfectly clear. This allows more of the UV light to be transmitted into their eyes.
- Children spend more time outdoors. Combine this with the previous fact that more UV light is transmitted into their eyes, and we can see that the majority of the cumulative effects occur early in life.
- And as we have said before, the damaging effects are cumulative.
- There is evidence of this in numerous studies. Highlight the bullet point
- But much of the more recent research is showing us that is not just the UV light that is the problem.
- The more recent research is showing us that the High Energy Visible (HEV) light may be even more dangerous than UV. Sunlight is composed of over 300 different wavelengths in the visible spectrum and ranges from 380 to 700 nm. These are the wavelengths that are needed for vision to occur. HEV is the band from 380 to 500 nm. The higher the energy, the higher the risk of tissue damage. The absorption of HEV light effects the retina, is cumulative, and the damage occurs later in life, most often in the form of Macular Degeneration.
- New products are available to provide the additional protection needed to maintain a healthy eye. Highlight the bullet points
- So what is the ECP doing? Are they dispensing or are they selling?
- Let’s remember what the mission is, to educate and inform… Instead of letting the economics drive the vision solution, lets let the best vision solution drive the economic discussion!
- 90% of our industry is managed care driven. We all hate it, but the reality is it is here to stay! So get over it and learn to deal with it! The first step is to learn how to present it. It is not the limits to which your managed care patient need to stay in! Don’t tell the patient that their plan just covers this or that, but turn it around and use it in a positive way…
- It is an advance or down payment towards what they really want and need, a total vision solution designed to restore, enhance and maintain their vision! Don’t forget our mission!
- If you just give the patient what is covered by their insurance, you are not giving them a Healthy Eye Care Solution! The insurance is just the down payment!
- Stress the healthy eye care solution and let it drive the economic discussion!
- Do not let the patient compromise their eye health by letting the economics of managed care drive the discussion. The goal is now a Healthy Eye Care Solution.!
- It starts at the beginning! When the patient calls to make their appointment for an eye exam, instruct them to bring their sunwear with them on the day of the exam. We already know that over 80% do not have sunwear! Don’t apologize for them! When they say they don’t have sunwear, make a note of that. If asked why they need sunwear, explain briefly and tell them that the doctor and staff will discuss it in more detail on the day of the exam.
- When they arrive for their exam, make sure they fill out a Lifestyle questionnaire. You may get some resistance, but reassure them that the doctor needs the information to make sure nothing is overlooked during the exam. And most important, make sure the doctor and support staff read it and reference it while assisting the patient.
- A recent study showed that most are still not aware of the damaging effects of sunlight to their eyes. 82% knew that sunlight exposure may cause damage to their skin and cause skin cancer, but only 9% knew it could also be harmful to their eyes.
- Another study shows us that ECP’s are among the most trusted professional. Your patients will respect and follow your advise. Practice saying, “For you I recommend…”
- The transition from the exam room to the dispensary is very important. The patient and the staff must feel comfortable with the hand off. Highlight the bullet points
- This may sound like a silly question, but let’s look at some facts.
- A recent Jobson Publishing study showed that while the independent ECP performed over 65% of the refractions, they sold less than 44% of the lens pairs! But look at the other retailers! We know, many are not making it to the dispensary.
- Let’s look at how to present the Healthy Eye Care Solution.
- Highlight the bullet points
- Most eyewear consumers do not understand the different options that are available to them. Glaucoma is s perfect example. Another study also showed that most are unaware of ARMD unless they know of someone who has it.
- The best way to present the healthy eye care solution is by first bundling a package and presenting the best first.
- Let’s look at what influences an eyewear consumer when purchasing lenses and lens options. Highlight the slide
- As you can see, the vast majority is based on the recommendations of the ECP!
- The numbers are changing, but most only get to the ECP once every 2 to 3 years.
- Always start at the top, with the best solution, and handle the objections from that point. It is much easier to remove and lower the cost than it is to add on and increase the cost. They may not end up buying the best, but it will be easier to get them to buy a “better” package. Highlight the slide
- Prejudging and making assumptions is still one of the biggest obstacles that needs to be overcome.
- Here are some more interesting statistics. Highlight the slide
- The best approach, start at the top and offer the patient the best solution. If they object, offer the next best solution. Continue until you find the patients comfort level.
- The ECP needs to take an honest look at some of the stumbling blocks. Highlight the bullet points
- Don’t send the patient into sticker shock! Present a total eyecare solution that consists of all of the pairs they need to solve their problems and to provide the protection that they need! Remember, use top down selling. When you receive price objections, take items off but explain the lost benefit. Highlight the slide
- We all buy on perceived VALUE. That does not mean the lowest price! The best value is the most benefits for the price. The Chevy Aveo is a perfect example. Heard of it? See many on the road? Low price, but is outsold by Hummers at ten times the price. Recently, high gas prices are changing this perception.
- Why? It is not perceived as a good value. Imagine the energy required to open a window with a crank instead of a simple push of a button. If I want to exercise, I will go to a gym!
- We need to stress the value, not the price. Highlight the slide
- It is essential that we understand the differences between Features and Benefits. And even more important, understand that consumers buy benefits, not features.
- Features are the attributes of the product. They answer the question “What is it?” Features have advantages and answer the question “What does it do?” But the consumer wants to know “What is in it for me?” or “so what?” Examples of benefits are saves time, saves money, protects your health/vision, comfort, looks better, see better and peace of mind.
