info_outlineGemma Hodgson is the owner of The Foot Lab, a unique high-end looking podiatry business in Glossip, in the United Kingdom. As Gemma puts it, going cheap was never an option.
Gemma is passionate about private practice and business ownership but also believes that we should be empowering other podiatrists to have the confidence to put their dreams and thoughts into action and be the best clinicians they can be.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why Gemma invested in a high-end look.
- Developing a patient experience, second to none.
- Why great treatment does not always equal a great experience. Ever had great food yet lousy service?
- Marketing: understanding and educating your audience and patients.
- Branding & social media: The benefits of putting yourself out there.
- Starting with a small budget and putting in the work.
- Smashing it on Facebook.
From Zero to Hero
Gemma started with zero patients, and within 6-months, she was working full-time just by using Facebook.
How is this possible?
Gemma began marketing herself and telling her story, and sharing her journey as a student.
Gemma has patients follow her clinic on social media, and then she constantly educates them, and she has done this from day one.
Be Different
You should always look for good, educational content and don't try to be like everyone else. Being a little bit different will make you stand out.
This is how the branding and thinking behind The Foot Lab
Competition is Good
If you want to perform at the highest level and raise podiatry's overall awareness, you need to have healthy competition.
Healthy competition means you're working together towards better patient outcomes, and if you embrace this, we can all learn from each other.
Your Team
As the business owner, it is up to you to create a happy and encouraging environment for my team to flourish. A happy team equals happy patients, which results in good business.
"Never too late to change something in your life if you are unhappy".
Final Tip
Don't overthink things, and don't put hurdles in front of yourself.
