We wanted to make our best practices for growing your network available to everyone. This checklist goes hand in hand with our Network Growth Bootcamp, which all of our new clients are eligible for. If you have any questions about any of these items, just contact us and we’ll be happy to clarify.
The gist of it is, if you’ve checked off most of these items, then you’re pretty much guaranteed to have network growth. It’s that easy.

- Links to join (special offers, incentives, fun facts) within monthly newsletters
- Once every 2 months, make your newsletter highlight your call-to-join action
- Send your patients a followup email after every visit, and prominently display links to your social networks and review sites in those emails.
