Presents its March Webinar:
"Selling Private Duty to Physicians"
March 28, 2013 - 4:00 pm Eastern
With Dr. M. Tray Dunaway and Stephen Tweed
Research conducted by Leading Home Care … a Tweed Jeffries company shows that Physicians are NOT the best referral sources for private pay, non-medical home care. In fact, physicians are down the list of places you can make sales calls to get private pay referrals.
However, we still get loads of calls and questions from business owners and sales reps about how to make sales calls on physicians, and how to get referrals that turn into admissions. So let’s go there. Let’s ask the Doctor.
In this interactive web conference, Stephen Tweed teams up with M. Tray Dunaway, MD, to explore the business of practicing medicine, and how doctors work and think. Then Dr. Dunaway will give you his secrets to success in selling home care to physicians. He’ll explain why doctors don’t understand private duty, and what you can do to bridge that gap. He’ll describe in detail the best ways to get past the gatekeeper, how to develop rapport with the doctor, and how to describe your ideal client. Then he’ll teach you how to close the sale.
Objectives: As a result of this program, you will be able to …
1. Discuss how to identify high potential physician referral sources in your local market
2. Describe how to get past the gate keeper and have a meaningful conversation with the doctor
3. Explore more effective ways to education physicians about the difference between home health and private duty
4. Describe how to present your programs and services, and close the sale.
