Your one-page action plan

Five partners, what starts the work for each one, and the three rooms to be in. Print it and keep it in the car.

Networking plan: Chiropractor

The five people who should be sending you clients

  1. Primary Care Physician (They send you work)
    Shared trigger: somebody gets hurt
  2. Towing & Roadside (They send you work)
    Shared trigger: somebody gets in a car accident
  3. Orthopedic & Pain Management (Two-way)
    Shared trigger: somebody gets in a car accident
  4. Attorney Personal Injury (Two-way)
    Shared trigger: somebody gets in a car accident
  5. Physical Therapist (You send them work)
    Shared trigger: somebody gets hurt

The three rooms to be in

  1. Your county medical society: Your partners are in this room: primary care practices, orthopedic and pain management practices, and physical therapists.
  2. MGMA (Medical Group Management Association): Your partners are in this room: primary care practices and orthopedic and pain management practices.
  3. Your city or county chamber of commerce: Your partners are in this room: primary care practices, physical therapists, and P&C insurance agents.

Don't confuse this with networking: State chiropractic association. Learning and supplier access, not referrals.

The people

Who should be sending you clients

Ranked by what starts the job, not by who sounds close to your trade. When something happens that makes people need chiropractors, who else gets a call that same week?

Match strength is how much of your work starts from the same event as theirs, scored out of 100. Higher means you are more often called into the same job in the same week.

  1. 1 Primary Care Physician They send you work Trigger: somebody gets hurt 80 match strength out of 100
  2. 2 Towing & Roadside They send you work Trigger: somebody gets in a car accident 71 match strength out of 100

The competitor trap

State chiropractic association

Most chiropractors join this room first. It is also the one most likely to be the wrong pick. Everyone in it does what you do. Join it for the training, the licenses, and the ties to manufacturers. Do not join it for referrals, and do not join it instead of the rooms above.

Let us be straight with you. For chiropractors, a weekly referral group is not the best pick. Your partners gather in professional groups instead, so spend your time there. We would rather say that than sell you a seat you do not need.

These rooms meet on real dates. We will send you the next ones for your area. Send me the dates ↑
