Reopen Home Care Sales & Marketing

Reopen Home Care Sales & Marketing

As the United States begins to plan how to reopen its states and economy, the home care industry....specifically the sales & marketing function, cannot lag behind. It's time for us to establish how we will safely move forward with reintroducing ourselves into the community and the facilities that we call on. Phase 1 - Now 1. Understand and respect the rules of your state as it pertains to non essential work, social distancing, masks and gloves worn in public, etc. This is not

Home Care Runs Toward the COVID-19 Fire

Home Care Runs Toward the COVID-19 Fire

Much of the focus thus far in the treatment of COVID-19 patients has been on hospitals and rightfully so. Practitioners on the front lines of treatment of COVID-19 patients and policy makers are now beginning to advocate for the treatment of COVID-19 patients at home instead of in hospitals. Are home care providers ready to run toward the fire? Italian physicians led the way, as reported in an article, “A Plea From Doctors in Italy: To Avoid COVID-19 Disaster, Treat More Pa

Active vs Passive Digital Messaging

Active vs Passive Digital Messaging

With so much of our industry's sales and marketing efforts taking place online, or in digital format, it's a good time to explore how to make those messages more effective and more likely to be acted upon. Active versus Passive Messaging The key is understanding what the intent of your message is. An active message requests or expects the recipient to take some action. A passive message simply provides a piece of information that the recipient might access at some point...now

Post COVID-19 Marketing Is Going To Be Different Than You Expect

Post COVID-19 Marketing Is Going To Be Different Than You Expect

May 1st....or June 1st, or some month of some day, the lockdown we're under is going to be lifted. When it is, many industry people expect that our sales and marketing effort will slowly go back to the way it was before. I don't..... I believe the post COVID sales and marketing landscape is going to look dramatically different than what we were experiencing just 2 months ago. In fact, if you look at little more deeply at the changes that have swept the homecare industry in th

Home Health Agency Fights Back Against Hospital Based Patient Steering

Home Health Agency Fights Back Against Hospital Based Patient Steering

American Home Healthcare System, Inc.; a free standing home health agency in Indiana; has sued Floyd Memorial Hospital and Baptist Healthcare System for violations of antitrust laws related to patients’ right to freedom of choice.

Communication or Relationship Building?

Communication or Relationship Building?

You've heard this 1,000 times "This business is about building relationships"...right? I agree, by the way, that without the relationship your chances of any long term success are almost nil. Now, while I don't need to teach a relationship building course to most of you, I would like to separate two key parts of any sales interaction with your referral sources for you. Relationship Building - The part(s) of the sales call where you engage in dialogue that is likely to help yo

The Real Problem With Patient Freedom of Choice

The Real Problem With Patient Freedom of Choice

Based on the common law or court decisions, the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 (BBA), and regulations of the Medicare Program governing discharge planning in hospitals, patients clearly have the right to freedom of choice of providers. Both providers and patients seem to agree that this right is important to patients. This right has, however, generated considerable conflict between referring providers and recipients of referrals. Recipients and potential recipients of referral

Can you make progress in your sales and relationship building during the pandemic? Yes, you can.
