Actual for You - 16 Ways to Make Your Business Cards Unforgettable
What’s stopping you from getting all of the patients you desire? Is it your technique? Your office staff? Your reputation?The answers are most probably no, no, and no.What is it then?Let’s look at the historic facts that most people live with: they hate dentists. Historically, dental work has hurt – especially for us older folk who grew up with a very limited choice of care. So we either don’t go to the dentist regularly, or go only when there is an emergency – and then don’t return.There are several issues here: finding patients, getting patients to return, and having referring dentists choose you to refer their patients rather than their other dentist friends.PATIENTS DECISION FACTORSSince patients don’t like coming to dentists, they have to make a decision to visit one at some point – hopefully prior to having a dental emergency. And, while you can connect with referring docs, or place ads, or have a web address, the patient still has to choose you.How do they choose? How do they know it’s time to go to a dentist when they are not having pain? How do they know to choose one dentist over another if they don’t have a regular dentist?It’s a choice they must make. What criteria do they use? Is it money? Is it pain? Is it proximity?How do you find your target audience? Through current patient ref
Medical billing is a multi-million dollar industry in America today. The exact process a bill goes through varies widely depending on various factors, such as the type of insurance a patient has and the type of service rendered by a provider.The process begins after a patient has a doctor visit, which could include actual treatment for injuries or other medical conditions. Sometimes the visit may simply be a diagnosis of a condition leading to a prescription given by a doctor. After the visit has concluded, a doctor will give details of the visit to a medical specialist of some sort. This specialist will fill out a billing record with more technical information regarding the visit, such as codes representing different diagnoses. The billing record is then sent to the insurance company, or sometimes to an intermediate firm that will process the record beforehand. Either way, the billing record will get processed and analyzed to make a determination on which charges the insurance company pays for. The insurance coverage of a patient may not actually cover all the costs of the services the provider has included in a billing record.Once the insurance company or some other intermediate organization has finished processing the claim, deciding which costs it will cover and which ones the patient has the responsibility to pay, an explanation of benef
And it was all worth it.
A business card is an entrepreneur’s best friend, his most valuable marketing tool and an essential element to becoming UNFORGETTABLE. Unfortunately, too many people have business cards that simply blend into the multitude of cookie cutter crap. And that’s a shame, because a business card is more powerful than you think.
Of course, it’s impossible to know this unless you actually have a card that’s really, really good. Therefore, this article will examine The Four Corners of Unforgettable Business Cards:<
Failure is something that none of us ever plans for but it is a part of the human condition. As we go through our lives there are few if any who have never experienced this phenomenon. So as we experience failure, how do we accept it and move on if we are unable to admit it?I am not suggesting that when we fail that we broadcast our failure to the world at large. I am suggesting though that admitting failure is a necessary tool that we must use if we are ever to be successful again.An admission of failure is a very personal thing and it should be done with those whom we have a special relationship. Often we can find it difficult to admit to those we love that we have failed. It is especially difficult to admit failure to those who had expected it from the beginning.To be wildly successful at anything requires us to go into a venture with a narrow definition of what success looks like. if we have not defined success before we attempt something, how do we know when it is time to give up on it and try something else?Most people define success as having a dollar amount attached to it, but it is always not a financial reward that comes with success, often success is totally unrelated to finance.Therefore as we work in a business we must be prepared to make a determination as to what success in that business looks like. If our

Throughout the year, finance officers at two- and four-year colleges and universities throughout the United States maintain their "wish lists" which inevitably include building endowment and lowering operational costs. While the accounting ledger may be affected by changes in tuition, government and private fund support, quality of investments, and a host of other factors, there exists a simple way to help thousands of academic officials lower their school's operational expenses. A check consolidation and recovery program can help keep a schools’ steady stream of profit flowing -– essential for even non-profit institutions!Imagine a Director of the Bursar's Office who is getting an ever-increasing amount of bounced checks. This Director, in concert with other officials, may even be considering abandoning a check payment option, upset about a) incurring high return check bank fees (which typically range from $5 to as high as $30); b) not receiving due compensation; and c) spending valuable time trying to collect the debt or utilizing expensive collection agencies. Check consolidation and recovery can alleviate these sources of frustration.Check consolidation is a perfect mechanism to reduce return check bank charges. Here, the school employee processes any check with a special return item endorsement, changing the bank of first deposit wi

Many businesses are finding it increasingly difficult to motivate, encourage, retain and recruit their staff, while optimizing productivity. One of the keys to satisfied and efficient employees is work/life balance. Due to societal changes, business culture, and employer expectations, personal time has decreased, and work time has seeped into personal time. Lunch time, which once was a relaxing diversion from work, has become a “Rush’N’Chow” experience, often in a cubicle. According to Joe Santana, the message sent to employees is: •Life and business have gotten tougher•You’ve got to work longer hours at a tougher pace•Skip meals and breaks•Skip vacations•Spend less time with family and friends•Pass over the invitation to play tennis or golf with your friends•Be manic and make the workplace, your place of worship, your home, your hobbyAll of these factors lead to emotional and physical stress for the employer, the employee, and their families. There are higher rates of absenteeism, difficulties in retaining or recruiting quality staff, increased family stress, depression, loss of productivity, and a general feeling of lack of balance and joyfulness.-Nearly 50% of all US workers feel overwhelmed by a growing number of job tasks and longer work

Everyone needs food in order to survive. And while many people have had to turn to restaurants and fast food in order to get food on the run, the retail supermarket industry is still thriving. People like to eat and they need to eat. However, getting into the retail supermarket business can be difficult, so here are some basic tips to get you started.First of all, learn about the customers that you want to provide foods to. Are they looking for low prices or are they looking for a certain type of food – i.e. organic or local produce? Determining the kinds of customers you will cater to can help to limit the capital that you have to spend up front as well as the costs for buying products that you might not need. If you already have a location or area in mind, you might want to send out simple surveys to see what people are looking for and where they might like to see it. Include a discount coupon or some other freebie in order to get surveys returned to you – people like to be compensated for their time and their opinion.Once you’ve determined the kind of supermarket that your customers want, you can begin to look at possible locations. People don’t like to drive too far for their food, so keeping stories in central locations is best, though you also don’t want to be somewhere that might cause traffic to become troublesome for locals a

CORNER #1: How Does Your Card Stack Up?
Think back to the last trade show, networking event, seminar, convention, social hour or association meeting you attended. How did people react to your business card? Did they compliment its design? Quickly shove it into their pocket? Show it to someone else? Rip it up?
Whatever the response was, your card made some type of impression. But only the most creative, unique and memorable business cards make UNFORGETTABLE impressions. And those types of cards elicit reactions like…
