Tips to help market your new business
Does your new business have an image? The image you create
should be recognizable and be one that can be on to all of your marketing materials
(i.e. Business card, brochures, website, invoices,letterhead, etc. etc.). To
do this you can either create a logo, or have one professionally made for you.
You logo can be something that can be professionally created for you by a graphic
artist or a simple logo consisting of your business' initials (e.g. I.B.S. for
Independent Biller Solutions)
There are several ways in which you can market yourself.
- Direct Mail - You have to be consistent
to effectively market your company using this method. You will want to build
a list of doctors or clinics first. Then send them your direct mail pieces
regularly and consistently. You can try several different styles of direct
mail, including surveys, letters, brochures, flyers,
newsletters, and postcards. We suggest that you only send out 10 a week
so that you can do an effective follow-up on them. You want to emphasize
the benefits of electronic filing over paper claim filing. Do not be discouraged.
A 3-5% response rate on targeted direct mailings is considered normal. For
every twenty you send out one good lead will be considered an excellent
response.
-
Walk-ins - This is a great way to
"put
a face to the name", especially after having done a direct mailing.
My suggestion here is simply walk-in to a provider’s office, introduce yourself,
leave a survey or a flyer. If you leave a survey you should tell them that
you will come back by to pick it up. After you obtain a completed survey
you can then put together a proposal for them to offer your services. If
you have a
website make certain that your URL (website
address) is in the flyer. (We offer
websites through
"The AgentZ") Some websites offer a
calculator that the
Doctor (or office manager) can use to see how outsourcing their claims processing
save them money.
-
Cold-Calls - Use this method to follow
up on a direct mail piece sent. Inquire as to whether or not they received
the information in the mail. If not, tell them you can re-send it or drop
it off. If they did receive the information, ask them if they would like
to schedule a time and date to review your services. Doctors are very busy,
emphasize it would only take a few minutes of their time. You can cold-call
before sending any mailers, too.
-
"Thank You’s" - this is only limited to
your own imagination! You can develop your own customized calendars, containing
your logo and contact information. Make it on glossy paper in an 8.5 x 11,
8.5 x 5.5(half sheet) or 4.25 x 5.5 (qtr. sheet). We have found that it
is attractive and useful enough to not end up in the circular file (trash
can)! You can also leave pens, candy, gift certificates, etc.
-
Referrals - This is the ultimate way of
gaining new clients. "Word of Mouth" advertising is the best there is and
its FREE. Pass around your business cards, talk to other businesses
in your area, etc. If you have an accountant you may also find them to be
a good referral source. Join the local chapter of your Chamber of Commerce
it is an excellent way to get to know the other businesses in your area,
and obtain referrals! Offer an incentive to current clients for all referrals
which turn into signed contracts too, like a discount or gift certificate.
Use your imagination!
-
Yellow Pages - If you can afford a Yellow
Pages ad for your business, do it! It’s the first place next to a personal
reference that someone goes to find the service or product they need! Include
your website address so that they can get more information about what you
offer. People like to do research on companies and products and a website
is a fantastic way to educate your prospective clients

Why do I need a website ?
A Web presence is a great way to compliment your existing marketing plan. You can use your site to inform doctors about your business's services and it makes word-of-mouth advertising easier.
In a Doctor to Doctor conversation one may say to the other,
"You know, I just signed on with XYZ Medical Billing and they sure have eliminated a lot of the hassle in my practice. They provide me with the ability to outsource my billing and free up my staff. Take a look at their website. It will be well worth your time. I know it has been for me."
In a phone conversation with a doctor you can say,
" Please visit my website, it will show you how I can save you time and money."
In the Marketing Materials that you have earned access to by studying and passing your exam there are a few telephone scenarios in which you "practice" talking with a doctor. Imagine how much easier it will be to explain to them how you will save them time and money if you have them look up your website. You can walk the doctor through the site explaining to them the cost and time savings using colorful charts and text. Once they have visited your site it will be very easy for them to access it again and again.
Use your Website to educate. The Web is two-way, interactive, and quick communication. Use it to learn more about your customers; their feedback will help you to improve your business.
Companies who embrace an online strategy will quickly find themselves in a leadership position because of their increased exposure in the global marketplace. Companies that ignore the web run the risk of having their existing competitors and emerging "dot coms" exploit the web to their advantage.
Having a website can help broaden the scope of one's business. Customers shop and compare prices now more than ever before and the Internet offers a powerful, quick and efficient way to do so. If your competition is online, you should be there also. Your customers can go online 24 hours a day, seven days a week to get answers and information about your business, even if your business is closed for the day.
Being online also helps to to reach new clients as your website gives customers and potential customers all the information about your business they need. Online customers will have an immediate resource in their office for reference and referals.
Also, having an online presence will enable you to compete with much larger and better capitalized companies to promote your goods and services and also enable you to give instant notice of new offerings or specials.
Just imagine the possibilities!
