Dan Hatef, MD, explains how the difference isn't more leads when it comes to patient acquisition, fulfillment and retention.

Hello, and welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery.

As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits.

The Difference Isn’t More Leads

Specifically, "The difference isn't more leads" features Dr. Dan Hatef. Indeed, he is a board-certified plastic surgeon. Currently, Hatef runs a high-performing private practice in Nashville, Tennessee.

First, I have a quick heads-up before you dive in. Actually, my new book, "The Plastic Surgery Practice Growth Playbook," is now at the printer. Moreover, this book is built from pearls gathered from over 175 top plastic surgeon interviews. Ultimately, it reveals the exact patterns behind stronger conversion and higher retention. Consequently, it helps build more efficient and profitable practices. Soon, it will be available for pre-order.

Now, here is why this podcast episode matters. Surprisingly, Hatef’s success is not about doing more. Rather, it is about doing the right things consistently. Next, here are a few key takeaways.

  • First, growth comes from execution instead of effort.

  • Second, networking with the right people in your community is a game changer.

  • Third, your team either elevates or erodes the patient experience.

Therefore, you must stop guessing to improve conversion, retention and staff performance. Fortunately, "The difference isn't more leads" will show you exactly where to start.

Also, these takeaways are exactly what I organized into "The Plastic Surgery Practice Growth Playbook." Consequently, you can see where your practice stands and what to fix next. Presently, the book is shipping soon. Furthermore, pre-orders this week include four exclusive launch bonuses. Afterward, those bonuses are gone forever. Finally, pre-orders will be available soon.

Enjoy!

"The fastest way to success is to model other successful surgeons who have what you want, but you can only see their results, not the path they took to get there.

So, you continue to jump from one thing to another, hoping to find something that will work for you too, but it rarely does. So, try this shortcut instead. It’s guaranteed to move you forward. I compiled my intellectual property to grow cosmetic revenues, everything I’ve gleaned over the years into one playbook of the most successful practices and what they do to win.
