What happens if Google disappears tomorrow?No reviews. No search traffic. No easy referrals from the internet.Todays episode we break down why PT owners need to diversify their marketing and stop depending on one source for growth. We talk about direct mail, unique QR-code tracking, attribution, old-school marketing, word-of-mouth limits, and why getting in front of the right people off social media can still work incredibly well.Watch more from PT Pintcast →https://www.youtube.com/@PTPintcast---EPISODE BREAKDOWN[00:00] — Did It Convert[00:59] — Postcard Campaign Update[01:36] — Targeting Wealthy Zip Codes[02:20] — Behind the Scenes Fulfillment[02:50] — QR Code Surprise[04:21] — How Follow Up Works[05:29] — Landing Page vs Homepage[06:53] — Costs And Break Even Math[07:23] — Diversify Marketing and Referral Channels[09:04] — Planting Seeds Long Term[10:10] — Hidden Value Propositions You Forget[14:12] — Door Hangers And Doormen[19:03] — Why Referrals Dont Happen[21:55] — Gap Collabs Playbook[26:13] — Collab Value Exchange[30:01] — Teasers Allbirds And Hinge-Want to Connect with Dave?Book a strategy call:https://clarity.fm/davekittle/expertise/physical-therapy-merger-acquisitions-valuations-healthcare-marketing-salesThinking of selling your practice or partnering?https://www.fieldmakergroup.comConnect with Dave:Email: [email protected]: @davekittle https://www.instagram.com/davekittle/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davekittle/orCall (646)-781-8884 Hosted on Acast.

Most PT owners do not have a pricing problem.They have a positioning problem.If your service looks cheap, feels cheap, or sounds like everybody else, patients will treat it that way.We will break this down on how to sell premium physical therapy without sounding pushy, awkward, or overly salesy. We also talked about why patients and families are not just paying for treatment time... they are paying for trust, safety, convenience, confidence, and expertise.Watch more from PT Pintcast →https://www.youtube.com/@PTPintcast---EPISODE BREAKDOWN[00:00] – Coupon Action Mindset[01:51] – Turn It Into Content[02:19] – Late Cancel Policy Story[03:33] – Medicare Coverage Reality[05:05] – Pitching A Premium Outing[06:24] – Culture Shift On Cancellations[07:45] – From Tracking To Vibes[11:16] – AI Wearables Integration[15:12] – Postcard Mailer Walkthrough[20:50] – Mailer Critique And Invitation Idea[24:45] – Invitation Not Coupon[29:47] – Invitation Cost Breakdown[30:11] – Postcard vs Envelope[30:58] – Rewrite the Headline[33:13] – Two Step Mailer Funnel[35:05] – Standing Out in the Mailbox[37:07] – Upper East Side Context[38:38] – Ridiculous Mailer Story[39:47] – Mailbox Research Clues[41:20] – Who Actually Opens It[42:28] – Fear Images vs Premium Brand[46:23] – Break Even Math and Elements[48:24] – Home Visit Messaging Angle[51:09] – Pricing Transparency Debate[58:14] – Parting Shots-Want to Connect with Dave?Book a strategy call:https://clarity.fm/davekittle/expertise/physical-therapy-merger-acquisitions-valuations-healthcare-marketing-salesThinking of selling your practice or partnering?https://www.fieldmakergroup.comConnect with Dave:Email: [email protected]: @davekittle https://www.instagram.com/davekittle/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davekittle/orCall (646)-781-8884 Hosted on Acast.

You do not need another certification to start a cash PT practice.That’s the lie a lot of PTs keep believing.We will break down why more clinical courses, more letters after your name, and more expensive certifications are usually not the thing holding most therapists back from building a successful cash practice.If you’re a PT thinking about going cash, starting your own practice, or wondering whether you really need to spend thousands more on certifications first, this episode is for you.Watch more from PT Pintcast →https://www.youtube.com/@PTPintcast---EPISODE BREAKDOWN[00:00] – Therapy Sale[00:51] – Clinic Time Warp[03:12] – Early Content Creator[03:55] – The 5K to 8K Question[05:00] – Which Skills Matter[05:30] – Clinical vs Business Skills[06:49] – Clinical Skills Debate[07:53] – Pre Test Post Test[09:17] – Sales vs Academia[10:24] – Psychology and Buy In[12:08] – Soft Skills In Action[16:23] – Culture Beats SOPs[18:20] – Parting Shots -Want to Connect with Dave?Book a strategy call:https://clarity.fm/davekittle/expertise/physical-therapy-merger-acquisitions-valuations-healthcare-marketing-salesThinking of selling your practice or partnering?https://www.fieldmakergroup.comConnect with Dave:Email: [email protected]: @davekittle https://www.instagram.com/davekittle/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davekittle/orCall (646)-781-8884 Hosted on Acast.
