Survival Strategies, Inc. recently partnered up with Applied Sales Training, LLC to offer training to practitioners and their staff on a new sales approach, who would rather do just about anything else than sales.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/23/2012 -- Survival Strategies, Inc. recently partnered up with Applied Sales Training, LLC to offer a new sales approach to the Healthcare Industry.

"It is a known fact that most private practitioners and their staff will avoid sales at all costs. However, selling is an integral part of any business, like it or not," remarked Mr. Ron Norton, Founder of Applied Sales Training.

According to Mr. Norton, this sales training program was designed to train the practitioner and their staff to be able to overcome barriers in getting a patient to accept and complete their treatment plan.

After interviewing over 100 staff, he said it became very apparent that employees simply did not know what to say when encountering usual sales resistance from patients. The course addresses the everyday objections that practitioners and staff need to overcome to guide patients to start and complete their treatment plans.

Mr. Norton added, "Like anything, it takes know-how and practice and we found that anyone who wants to, can improve their sales skills markedly."

The sales training consists of 10 steps of theory courses and apprenticeships. These steps are:

1. Sales Orientation
2. The Powerful Referral Program
3. Controlling the conversation
4. Scheduling
5. The sales "laws" of each office position
6. Care factor
7. How to handle objections
8. Reactivating former patients
9. Advanced selling techniques
10. Closing techniques.

The theory of the first eight courses takes 24 to 32 hours to complete. The last two steps are professional sales courses specifically designed for staff who handle financial arrangements with patients and these courses take 2 weeks of training each.

Wendi Stanley, Marketing Director of Rebound Physical Therapy in Topeka, Kansas, along with the practice owner and several other staff, were one of the first Survival Strategies clients to go through the sales training. Here is her feedback:

"From this training I have increased knowledge on closing patients for new services/programs and keeping regular scheduled appointments. I have increased certainty on getting agreements from patients on keeping their appointments and completing their treatment programs. I can't wait for the rest of our staff to get this information! Great stuff!"

A new system for generating internal referrals has just been released by Survival Strategies Inc. The system includes custom made referral cards and a training program that teaches the owners and staff how to implement the system.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 05/02/2012 -- The new Internal Marketing System has just been released by Survival Strategies, Inc, a consulting and training firm in Burbank, CA. They are making this new system available to all new and existing clients.

Survival Strategies conducted extensive market research and found that the cost of new client acquisition has risen 1000% over the last 20 years. Twenty years ago, mailing out 10,000 flyers could yield 20 new clients. Today, that number is more like 2 new clients. With the cost of advertising continuing to increase, they concluded that referrals from existing clients and even staff are not only the most cost effective solution, but are also the highest quality of referrals that a business can get. The reason being is that the referral has already been given a good review by the referral source.

Further research went into finding out exactly how to streamline the referral process and what type of incentives to use. Based on their research, if one was to use a card, it needed the following requirements:

1. Attention grabbing (an aesthetic design on a clear plastic card)
2. An irresistible offer
3. People would want to use them (not store them or throw them away)

The result was the Internal Marketing System that consists of a custom design and manufacture of the referral cards and training of the owner and their staff on implementation of the system. The training promises to teach how to get more new clients from existing clients; family and friends, social contacts, business contacts and everyone else.

Much time was spent in locating a company that could print the cards to the high standards they were demanding. They checked with over 100 plastic card makers and none of them could do it. Either they couldn't match the quality, didn't know how to print on clear plastic or didn't want to bother; as it was too difficult and expensive to do. So they researched how Starbucks made their cards. The final solution was to purchase their own specialized printing press, learn the technology and produce the cards themselves.

The results have already been quite remarkable. One client had a 66% increase in income from referrals after the first month and another had a 223% increase in referral income after just the first month!

Survival Strategies is offering free webinars and consultations to lay out in detail how this new system can be implemented into any business or practice. More details can be requested at http://survivalstrategies.com/cards

A number of private practice owners recently spoke about their success on camera with regard to the consulting and training they received from Survival Strategies, Inc. These video clips have been published and are now available for viewing on YouTube.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/26/2012 -- At a recent convention held by Survival Strategies, Inc., attendees went on camera to take the opportunity to share their success story and sing the praises of the company that helped them get there.

A sampling of 13 video clips – from Physical Therapists and Audiologists in the United States, to Physiotherapists in Canada – has been publicized on You Tube (http://ssinc.be/3).

A common thread that is heard throughout the testimonials is the care and attention that each client received from their consultant and the fact that they felt Survival Strategies stuck by them through thick and thin to ensure they achieved the full results of the program for their practice.

They all had really interesting stories to tell; here are a few snippets of their enthusiastic reviews:

Allison Suran PT, Owner:

"My best accomplishment, I would say in completing the Referral Program, is that I'm still in business. The fact that my doors are open, I have an enthusiastic staff, we're motivated, we've got great relationships with our doctors and referrals are coming in. That feels great to me, especially during this economy."

Valerie Watase PT, Owner:

"My company has attained a lot of long lasting gains in attending the classes with Survival Strategies. That's putting a framework into my private practice and implanting that with the staff in order to be more organized and efficient and have more certainty in a direction we're going in."

Richard Maung PT, DPT, MPT, Owner:

"One of my best accomplishments from working with Survival Strategies is my increased ability to lead the company into the future, looking at all the statistical data, realizing where our weaknesses are and where are strengths are and to be able to create a wonderful working atmosphere. I'm very happy with Survival Strategies and I consider Survival Strategies a part of my family."

Eric Toribio PT, Owner:

"We started our company as a small practice. I remember around 2002 we were renting a facility of less than 1000 square feet. In 2005 we started the first program, the Referral Program. From then on we've been growing. One of the facilities that we have acquired is an 8000 square foot facility and we are in the middle of negotiating and we're going to move our other clinic to this 15,000 square foot facility that will have an aquatics program and a wellness program."

Gabrielle Sadowski AuD, Owner:

"Some of the long lasting gains that I have achieved with working with Survival Strategies is probably more confidence in myself as a business owner and I think that's huge. Because I really didn't have any business training and the support that I have received going through the different modules that I've done and working with somebody and having a step-by-step - this is what you need to do to get through - this has been really helpful for me because I've done other programs in the past and I've felt like I was floundering."

Chad Elms PT, OCS, FAADMPT, Owner:

"I would definitely say I'm a Survival Strategies success. Our average collections have gone up about 66% per week since we took the Effective Reimbursement Program, so that's been fantastic."

Jeff Steckler, CEO, Owner:

"Every time we spoke, my consultant and myself, there was another realization that we came up with. Case in point, we were missing arrivals - patients were not arriving. We started out with something around 68% when we started the Referral Program and by the end of the Referral Program we had hit weeks when we had reached 90-92%."

The Referral Increase Program

The majority of practice owners begin with Survival Strategies' flagship service, the Referral Increase Program. This comprehensive program is a service that does not exist anywhere else on the market today. Rather than focus on lunches and massive amounts of mailings to doctors, this program zeroes in on building long-term productive relationships with doctors and other referral sources. It consists of precise training for the practice owner and their marketing personnel on 8 major principles spanning over a 4- day period. The practice owner then enters the internship phase with their assigned consultant, which they generally complete within 4 months. The program carries a guaranteed Return on Investment and is not considered complete until that ROI is achieved.

Survival Strategies announces training dates for their Management Program Refresher for a group of top clients who have completed the original implementation program.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/03/2012 -- The first month of the New Year offers up something unique and valuable for a select group of Private Practice Owners. These professionals all have one thing in common – they have enrolled in and completed the Private Practice Management Program with Survival Strategies, Inc. And Survival Strategies just announced that they are prepared to deliver 4 days of comprehensive Refresher Training on the 3rd week of January 2012 to those clients for a nominal fee. It does not matter how long ago the program was completed and the owner is encouraged to bring any number of staff to participate in the training.

The Management Program was designed to put the Private Practice Owner in control of all aspects of their business from Finance, to managing staff to monitoring productivity, etc. A summary of the components of this program are:

• A full analysis of the owner's goals and purposes, short and long term.
• Time-proven policies and procedures in all key administrative areas of the practice: front desk, patient control, billing and collections, hiring, human resources, payroll, bonuses and many other subjects.
• Guidance on achieving goals through expertly written programs and projects.
• Training on how to objectively monitor productivity through the use of statistics.
• Individualized establishment of the ideal organizational structure for the practice, including how to put key personnel in position to handle important functions.
• Internship with a consultant to guide implementation.
• Guaranteed Return on Investment.

The original training and consulting is thorough, however it is a well-known fact that brushing up on the information increases certainty of application, and therefore greater success in the long run. Not to mention the need to train new staff who were hired after the original training. With that in mind Survival Strategies announced that the Refresher Training will be held in Burbank CA from January 20th to January 23rd, 2012.

Last year's training produced rave reviews from those who attended. Here is what one Audiology Practice Owner said:

"Wow! I am thrilled to have had this opportunity for the refresher so that my executives, who were not part of our company when we did the initial training, are now fully trained. We are now on the same page, and I look forward to our first executive meeting. This training has given us the skills to take us to the next level." – L.N., Au.D., NJ

The response from employees was equally enthusiastic, as represented by this feedback:

"I was able to realize that my title of Director was more than just a title, instead it is truly a commitment to my company. I have also realized the true cohesion necessary within the executive council which is required for the company to do well. I now have tools necessary to lead my juniors and to navigate through the channels of the organization effectively." – S.C., NJ

A cross section of results from 24 clients in 14 states who had completed implementation of the Management Program showed an average Return on Investment of 406%.

Survival Strategies, Inc., training and consulting firm in Burbank CA successfully delivers advanced training to physical therapists in private practice to take their practices to the next level of production and profitability.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/13/2011 -- Survival Strategies, Inc. a training and consulting firm in Burbank, California recently delivered high level training to eleven physical therapists as the first step of their Acceleration & Stabilization Module, a training and implementation program designed to augment and expand upon three of their most popular programs. The small size of the group was due to the advanced nature of the training and the fact that it was specifically tailored to each practice.

This module incorporates the information and technology of Survival Strategies' proprietary Referral Increase Program, PR & Marketing Program and Management Program into a fully computerized activity.

The initial five days of training span a wide range of relevant topics and is then followed by three months of consulting to guide implementation of the systems.

The module includes detailed job descriptions for key positions in a practice such as Practice Manager, Clinic Manager, Patient Services Rep, etc. It also includes a multitude of invaluable tools and materials:

• Effective hiring techniques and a Human Resources Manual
• On-the-job training
• Clinic organization
• Referral Development documentation and strategies
• Private practice marketing and promotion documentation
• Production management using extensive statistical metrics
• Budget Development Tool and financial reports
• Performance appraisal forms and Incentive Plans
• Public Relations checklist
• Administrative procedures and reference materials for Front Desk

The Acceleration & Stabilization Module was originally developed by one of Survival Strategies' long-term clients, Excel Physical Therapy. After having implemented all programs offered by Survival Strategies, the owners Jeff Ostrowski and Joe Ruhl took it one step further, codifying every job description, computerizing all of the tools and systems, so that every employee had access to the tools for their area(s) of responsibility. Excel Physical Therapy then partnered with Survival Strategies, Inc. to export the program to other practices.

The group of clients who went through the training gave great feedback. Here's what a few had to say about their experience:

"It was tailored to what my needs are as a practice owner. I feel much more confident with my managerial skills. The amount of information was amazing! The workshop provided me with structure and organization to make a profitable practice." – A.V.

"This training provides structure so staff have a chance to truly thrive on their posts. Thanks for the honest, genuine, caring instruction." – M.O.

"The high energy of the delivery team and the extra motivation was absorbed by us like a sponge. The experience has me super motivated to go home and start a brand new implementation of our practice. This training had more to offer than I expected. The ability and tools for reorganization and restructuring were exactly what we were looking for." – P.V.

The next Acceleration & Stabilization Module workshop is scheduled for early January 2012 and is quickly filling up to capacity!

Survival Strategies, Inc., a leading consulting company to Private Practice Healthcare Professionals for the past 25 years, announces the recipients of this year’s Top Client Awards.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/13/2011 -- Each year Survival Strategies, Inc. recognizes a select number of clients for contributions deemed above and beyond the ordinary call of duty. What does that entail exactly? In their case these clients, who are also owners of Private Practices of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Audiology, Speech/Language Pathology, Chiropractic, etc., demonstrate an immeasurable willingness to help their colleagues get the assistance they need in building a private practice and expanding their influence in their communities. Their generous actions include introducing and referring colleagues to Survival Strategies for complimentary services, answering questions and talking to other professionals who are considering taking their next step with Survival Strategies, taking time to be interviewed and filmed regarding their work and success with the training and consulting programs they have done, to name a few.

The fourteen awards fell into three categories. The first category was the debut of a new award entitled the 'Milestone Award' and was presented to clients who had achieved a major milestone in their practice, namely reaching a stellar and previously unprecedented number of weekly patient visits. The awardees in this category were Steve Crandall PT, DPT, OCS (Hand & Orthopedic Specialists), Diane Crecelius PT (ABC Pediatric Therapy Network), Harry Koster (Spine and Rehab Specialists) and Kevin Hulsey PT, DPT & Galen Danielson PT, DPT (Rehab Authority).

The second category contained six clients who took an active role in ensuring fellow practitioners received the assistance they needed to bring their practice to the next level of expansion. Those awarded were Gabrielle Sadowsky Au.D. (Desert Sounds Audiology), Kay Wing PT (Swan Rehab), Cindi Prentiss PT, OCS, Cert MDT (Physical Therapy and Beyond), David Ebel PT (Mountain Valley Physical Therapy) and Philippe Veeters PT (Dutch Physical Therapy).

The final category, with 4 awardees, represented exemplary contribution to the expansion of Private Practice in many forms. These awards were presented to Paul Silovsky PT (Rebound Physical Therapy), Kevin Hulsey PT, DPT and Galen Danieleson PT, DPT (Rehab Authority), Jeff Ostrowski PT (Excel Physical Therapy) and Christina Panetta PT (Panetta Physical Therapy).

These awards were presented at the banquet of Survival Strategies' annual 4-day convention held at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas.

So the question remains, what drives these busy professionals to take the extra time to help their colleagues?

These people chose this profession for one major reason – they wanted to help people to live better, more productive and pain free lives. Expanding their practice means being able to help more and more people and therefore enabling them to fulfill their dreams. Survival Strategies' clients have been trained on tailored programs and precise business management technology and their lives have improved as a result of it. They tend to experience a sense of camaraderie and of being a part of something bigger than just their practice when they come on board to do the programs offered by Survival Strategies. This is an opportunity they truly appreciate and want to share with others.

This recent letter from a client sums it up very well:

"Working with our consultant through the course of the Management Program has been a wonderful experience. Not only did he help us implement key organization and communication strategies to greatly improve our efficiency and effectiveness as a team, he also made himself available for any situation that arose during the course of our program. For me, this program was not just about implementing the structures provided for communication, policies, organization, etc, but was an on-going process for me to learn how to implement them with the everyday shifts and challenges of running my business. I have grown tremendously as a manager and business owner. My confidence is far greater than it was when I began, and my staff is much more stable and motivated. I am most appreciative of the Survival Strategies philosophy of always being available and supportive of their clients. It's much more like being a part of a great supportive team than just being a client!" – Allison Suran, Healing Bridge Physical Therapy

Survival Strategies Inc. recently held their annual convention at the Red Rock Resort for professionals in Private Practice. With record breaking attendance, it proved to be an opportune time to release their new practice management software system.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/25/2011 -- Survival Strategies, Inc. recently held its 11th annual client convention entitled 'The Magic of Success' at the Red Rock Resort and Casino in Las Vegas with record breaking attendance and rave reviews from all Private Practice Owners and staff in such professions as Physical Therapy, Audiology, Speech Language Pathology, Occupational and Pediatric Therapy.

Day One of the convention started with a bang, as Survival Strategies, Inc. released a brand new software program, the "Production Analysis & Management Program." This program was designed to assist the Private Practice owner to manage their clinic more easily and more efficiently by providing each clinician's individual production, alongside the clinic's overall production with exact objective measurements.

This was followed by keynote speaker, Mr. Patrick Valtin, renowned international consultant and trainer specializing in Human Resources and Business Performance. Mr. Valtin's presentation focused on the importance of having a clearly stated and known company purpose and how that relates to Private Practice including staff hiring, retention and all the way through to productivity and the 'bottom line.'

The exceptional panel of presenters also included Jeff Ostrowski PT, owner of Excel Physical Therapy in Philadelphia and Editor of 'Impact Magazine' who delivered an in-depth workshop on Practice Finances and Profitability. This segment proved to be quite popular with practice owners!

Kevin Hulsey PT, owner of Rehab Authority in Idaho, and Board Member of the APTA briefed the audience on the state of the American Physical Therapy Association as well as updates on Healthcare Reform, a current topic of high interest to practice owners.

The agenda covered many additional topics of concern for those in Private Practice, with a highlight on Practice Marketing and the use of Social Media in acquiring new patients. A fair amount of time was also allotted for networking with fellow practice owners and staff, which has come up time and again as a high interest activity among attendees, giving them an opportunity to share successful actions with their peers.

Here is what a few of the attendees had to say about the convention:

"My staff and I gained so many new ideas to improve on our marketing strategies, tracking of statistics, writing policies and procedures, etc." K.N.

"Wonderful experience – truly honored to have been given the opportunity to experience this. Thank you Survival Strategies." – R.B.

"We get down to the why in these conferences – others that I have been to don't do that. They just give you 'well here's some ideas' or 'here's what to say to a doc.' It's the best place to get real answers in our profession of private practice." – V.V.

"Enthusiastic, engaging presentation of how to live in the future by using vision. Fantastic, motivating, useful presentation by a very knowledgeable presenter!" – L.I.

"I got information, benchmarks and tools that give me confidence to implement and develop programs." – C.P.

This convention is held every October in surveyed locations around the U.S., Mexico or Caribbean Islands.

A recent review of the results of Survival Strategies’ Referral Increase Training and Implementation Program brings to light a spectacular increase in New Patients and Clinic Production across the boards.

Burbank, CA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/17/2011 -- A recent analysis of the results of the Referral Increase Training and Implementation Program as delivered by Survival Strategies, Inc. to Private Practices, revealed dramatic increases in New Patients and Clinic Productivity.

Private Practice Professionals, such as Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists and Audiologists agree that procuring an ever increasing number of new patients is of primary importance to the success of their practice, however the traditional lunches with doctors and even sending out thousands of promotional items typically does not produce the desired results.

Many companies such as Practice Builders and Measurable Solutions have attempted to remedy this problem with their marketing programs, however Survival Strategies' proprietary techniques and information as contained in their Referral Increase Training and Implementation Program is the only service like it on the market that enables one to create a broad referral base consistently sending new patients.

The analysis was done by Craig Ferreira, Founder and CEO of Survival Strategies, Inc. based on completions of this program in the last 11 months. His findings speak for themselves.

Twenty-one practices in sixteen states that had recently completed the Referral Increase Program were included in the analysis, which yielded the following averages:

• Average New Patient Increase: 25.5%
• Average Return on Investment: $104,519
• Average % Return on Investment: 330%
• Average Time to Fully Implement Program: 6.5 months

Survival Strategies, Inc. has been delivering the Referral Increase Program for over 25 years in all 50 states and Canada. It is a comprehensive program that trains a Private Practice Owner on how to create, build and maintain a broad referral base through relationship development. And this is all done without sales approaches. It is a full, implementable system from referral to intake, scheduling control, quality assurance, discharge, internal referrals and other management strategies and referral tools.

Here is what one client had to say about their results with the Referral Increase Program:

"I believe the greatest asset derived from the Referral Increase Program is our ability to formulate and implement a plan to increase and gain control of referrals, and adjust the plan to fit our current needs. There has been a great deal of information to digest. The course has been hard work. The program teaches techniques and ideas that are really not available anywhere else for PTs in the university and continuing education system. I feel we have a great resource to draw from. We can continue to implement and monitor the effectiveness of new programs and activities which will enhance our ability to manage and control referrals. From the relationships with referral sources, to how our front desk handles the referrals, to how we maintain our relationship with patients after discharge, this program trained us in all aspects of improving our processes." – B.E., PT

Training and Consulting firm, Survival Strategies, Inc., successfully launches a new program – “The Acceleration & Stabilization Module” to take Private Practice Owners to the next level of production and profitability.

Burbank, CA -- (SBWIRE) --06/27/2011 -- Survival Strategies, Inc. a training and consulting firm out of Burbank, California recently launched The Acceleration & Stabilization Module, a training and implementation program designed to augment two of their most popular programs.

This new module incorporates the information and technology of Survival Strategies' proprietary Referral Increase Program and their Management Program into a fully computerized activity with a multitude of clinic-specific tools.

It consists of an initial five-day training workshop followed by three months of consulting to guide implementation of the systems. This program was specifically designed for Physical Therapists in Private Practice, however, due to its instant success, the program has also been customized for other clinic types such as Audiologists and Occupational Therapists.

The module includes detailed job descriptions for key positions in a practice such as Practice Manager, Clinic Manager, Patient Services Rep, etc. It also includes a host of invaluable tools such as:

• Extensive statistical metrics

• Budget Development Tool

• Financial reports

• Human Resources Manual

• Incentive Plans

• Performance appraisal forms

• Referral Development documentation and strategies

• Public Relations checklist

• Administrative procedures and reference materials for Front Desk

• And the list goes on...

The Acceleration & Stabilization Module was originally developed by one of Survival Strategies' long-term clients, Excel Physical Therapy. After having implemented all programs offered by Survival Strategies, the owners Jeff Ostrowski and Joe Ruhl took it a step further, codifying every job description, computerizing all of the tools and systems, so that every employee had access to the tools for their area(s) of responsibility.

Excel Physical Therapy then partnered with Survival Strategies, Inc. to export the program. The response was immediate with the first workshop filled to capacity. The first group of clients through the training completely raved about the program. Here's what a few had to say about their experience:

"I often felt like you put into words and systems exactly what we have been needing and wanting. We really needed help with driving business in and the training materials have totally revived us. I honestly believe this workshop will mark the turning point for Panetta Physical Therapy!! It will enable us to accomplish our new goals both financially and in excellence. I am confident that with these new tools/perspective, we will be able to grow in a stable, fun manner." - C.P., Owner, NY USA

"This was the best workshop I have been to. What stood out most was the detail and abundance of information that was given to us. It will help with expansion and having a more productive staff and company. It will be much easier for me to get new staff trained and producing much faster. Thank you!" - G.H., Owner, PA USA

"GREAT! INSPIRING! My experience was positive and helpful in giving me a better understanding of staff training and the tools of accountability incorporated throughout the PT practice system. The teaching and preparation was extremely well done and effective. Thanks for your hard work and support. You made the 5 days interesting, meaningful and engaging. The level of challenge and involvement was well balanced and well planned. The group was enjoyable to be with. GREAT TEAMWORK! HIGH ENERGY! EXCELLENT!" - M.C., Dir. of Operations, Indiana USA

The next Acceleration & Stabilization Module workshop is scheduled for early November 2011 and is already fully booked!

Craig Ferreira, CEO of Survival Strategies, Inc., due to his extensive experience with the Physical Therapy Profession, was invited to be a guest speaker at the Arizona Physical Therapy Association Annual Conference in Tempe AZ. Attendees were presented with key management tools they didn’t learned in college.

Burbank, CA -- (SBWIRE) --05/20/2011 -- Craig Ferreira, CEO and Owner of Survival Strategies, Inc. was recently requested to speak at the Annual Spring Conference and Membership Meeting for the Arizona Physical Therapy Association in Tempe Arizona. This request was by way of a recommendation from the immediate past President of the Association and current Board Member, Kay Wing PT, DPT, NCS, GCS.

Survival Strategies, Inc. is a training and consulting firm, with a large number of clientele in the Physical Therapy Private Practice profession.

They have been helping private practices expand for over 25 years, so it is no surprise that Mr. Ferreira was chosen as a guest speaker for this conference.

The conference was held at the Fiesta Resort Conference Center just outside of Phoenix and was well-attended by physical therapists from all parts of the state. While many of the workshops were clinical in nature, Mr. Ferreira's talk was unique in giving attendees practical management tools they could take back and immediately put to use in their practice.

The topic he chose to cover was Public Relations and Marketing. Mr. Ferreira wanted to present basic applicable principles from the technology of Public Relations and Marketing as they relate to managing and expanding a private practice. Private Practice owners are often faced with difficult business situations in addition to maintaining high standards in both quality of care and treatments. Having been schooled and trained in the clinical aspects of physical therapy, they know how to treat patients. But how does one precisely acquire new patients from doctors? How does one brand themselves and their practice? How can one increase their community presence? These are things they don't generally learn in college, i.e. - how to be a successful Private Practice owner.

The workshop touched on key aspects of public relations, such as branding and tools for effective marketing to referral sources, however such subjects are much too broad to be adequately covered in an afternoon workshop, so attendees were invited to participate in a complimentary tailored analysis of their own practice to take a look at how their PR and marketing stack up to an ideal scenario.

The CEO of Survival Strategies, Inc., Craig Ferreira just announced the findings of the study he conducted on the results of their Insurance Reimbursements Training and Implementation Program. The study was done on a cross section of clients who had completed the program in 17 states across the U.S.

Burbank, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/06/2011 -- The CEO of Survival Strategies, Inc., Craig Ferreira, having just completed an in-depth study, announced the results of their Effective Reimbursements Program as quite spectacular!

The inception of their ERM program came about due to a large number of their client base in all 50 states reporting great difficulty in collecting money owed from insurance companies for services rendered. These difficulties include lost claims, large amounts of required documentation, and general slowness in claims processing. After thorough research of the insurance industry, Mr. Ferreira collaborated with two colleagues and found that most practices did have a workable software program for insurance billing, but there was a definite missing ingredient – the Know-How and ability to collect and deal with every barrier possibly encountered which could slow down reimbursements. As there was no such program on the market, they worked to fully codify, test and implement the needed training and administrative system required to efficiently and effectively handle collections.

A study was done on a cross section of clients from 17 different states who had completed their Effective Reimbursements Program; CA, PA, WY, IA, NY, TX, UT, KS, CO, AZ, MO, AL, WA, TX, LA, IL, AR, and included practices with a broad spectrum of disciplines such as Physical Therapy, Audiology, Occupational Therapy, Certified Hand Therapy and Pediatric Therapy. All were engaged in this study to ensure the system's workability in any private practice or business with the task of collecting insurance reimbursement money.

Once completing this analysis, Mr. Ferreira was pleased to find the overall average increase in statistics to be extremely impressive. Here are the results:

- 22% increase in collections; some even as high as 49%!
- Practice return on investment averaging $99,152; some as high as $350,000!
- Overall percentage of return on investment averaged 46%.

In response Mr. Ferreira said, "We are really proud that we have developed a system that effectively works to increase cash flow and insurance reimbursement collections of this magnitude. This is really big! We are now ready to export this program to other types of business with similar needs of collecting insurance reimbursements."

Survival Strategies, Inc. guarantees a return on investment with this program for clients who fully apply themselves, and they do whatever it takes to ensure their clients do in fact achieve this.

One particular client had this to say about the program:

"I decided to work with Survival Strategies on the Effective Reimbursements Program as I had an Accounts Receivable which was huge and out of control. After 8 years in business, I was finally able to confront the fact that our billings and collections needed help. We needed a system.

"We signed up for this program at the end of June and my billings and collections staff were trained in early July. After implementing the program for only one month, our collections increased by $30,000.00. Since that time we have collected from $10,000.00 to $40,000.00 more per month than we ever had collected in our 'best month'.

"To date, in the past year, with this system in place we have collected over $350,000.00 more than we did over the last year at this time. Better yet, our accounts receivable is now under control . In retrospect, I can only say I should have done this program immediately when it was offered. My advice to any practice owner that is frustrated in not collecting money that he or she has earned is to do this program immediately." - S.B., Practice Owner, WI, USA.

Physical Therapist and Practice Owner so impressed with results of training & consulting program, shared his success with colleagues. Equally impressed, they quickly signed on for not one, but two programs and are already reaping the benefits!

Burbank, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/02/2011 -- James Gorham MPT and co-owner of Mountain Valley Physical Therapy, thoroughly impressed with the results of his training and consulting with Survival Strategies, Inc., decided to tell his colleagues, George and Patty Anderson of Kent Easthill Physical Therapy, about the various changes and improvements it has made to his practice. They quickly signed on for not one, but two training and implementation programs.

The Andersons have now recently completed the full implementation of the Referral Increase and Control Program and their feedback about the program speaks for itself:

"At Kent Easthill PT, we have noticed many improvements in our ability since completing the Referral Increase Program.

"Through the use of the Business Management Technology of L. Ron Hubbard and the knowledge of those at Survival Strategies, we have gained valuable information, strategies and systems to increase the number of new patients coming to our clinic.

"We now have a great arrival rate of over 93% due to the cancellation policy and tracking tools. We have made personnel changes ensuring the right people are wearing the right hats. We have a fun call back program in place to keep in touch with past patients, as well as getting referrals from them. Most of all, we have a stronger working relationship with our doctors.

"We have been very satisfied working with our consultant and look forward to our continued relationship with our next program!"

After just 5 months on the program, the Andersons have factually made their expected Return on Investment, with significant increases in new patients, patient visits and collections. They are now in the midst of their second program with Survival Strategies Inc. – THE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM.

And while Mr. Gorham couldn't be happier for his colleagues, he has also benefitted by this referral in that a substantial credit has been awarded his account toward his next program or service with Survival Strategies Inc. That's definitely a win-win for both!

The Referral Increase & Control Program has been successfully delivered to thousands of clinics across the U.S. and Canada for the past 25 years and continues to be their most popular program, with its basis being developing professional—NOT SALES—relationships.

This program establishes the confidence and skill needed to develop long-term, professional relationships with referral sources of all types, thus creating a broad, stable referral base. It is a full, implementable system from referral to intake, scheduling control, quality assurance, discharge, internal referrals and other management strategies and referral tools.

Mr. Craig Ferreira, CEO of Survival Strategies, delivers custom training to 30 executives and staff to rave results and is asked to return each year.

Pocatello, ID -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/13/2011 -- The CEO of Survival Strategies, Mr. Craig Ferreira, was requested to come to Idaho to personally train 30 of the executives and staff of Rehab Authority, a 12-location Physical Therapy practice, owned and operated by Kevin Hulsey PT, DPT and CEO of Rehab Authority and member of the Board of Directors for the American Physical Therapy Association.

Mr. Ferreira arrived Friday to deliver a refresher course on the subject of Building Relationships with Referral Sources. This refresher course is part of Survival Strategies' most popular service – The Referral Increase & Control Program, a unique training and implementation program with a guaranteed return on investment for its clients. Upon returning home from the two-day intense training and drilling, Mr. Ferreira received the following email from co-owner and Senior Executive Matthew Smith:

"I just wanted to say Thank You again for coming out to Pocatello this past weekend. It was truly a great course and it really brought everyone up to the same level. I would like to talk to you at some point regarding the possibility of you coming out again next year to replicate the same or something like this past weekend. It was a great update, review and learning time for everyone. I know how much of a privilege it was to have you come teach. Thank you." - Matthew Smith, PT, DPT, OCS, President of Practice Education & Research, Rehab Authority Physical Therapy

As the CEO, Mr. Ferreira rarely delivers training himself and when asked why he opted to do this he replied, "I believe it's important to occasionally deliver training myself to keep my 'hand in,' and it keeps it real so I don't lose touch with our clients and their needs. It also helps me to ensure our programs stay current and of the highest quality."

Most physical therapists in private practice will agree that establishing a larger base of referral sources who continually refer new patients is one of the most important aspects of a thriving practice, but can also be the most elusive! A typical approach has been the use of sales techniques; however this usually proves to be unsuccessful – and more importantly, very uncomfortable for the physical therapist!

The Referral Increase & Control Program has been successfully delivered to thousands of clinics across the U.S. and Canada for the past 25 years and continues to be their most popular program, with its basis being developing professional—NOT SALES—relationships.

This program establishes the confidence and skill needed to develop long-term, professional relationships with referral sources of all types, thus creating a broad, stable referral base. It is a full, implementable system from referral to intake, scheduling control, quality assurance, discharge, internal referrals and other management strategies and referral tools.
