I think all your strategies make sense, but you nailed it on number one, five and eight. I can't agree with you more on number one-- prospects vs patients. When you think about it, you're actually getting a 90% conversion ratio from the free consultation. When it comes to conversions, it doesn't get any better than that. Period. Number five-- Give Google $1 and get $2 in return. I'll do that all day. Number eight-- Unfortunately bad news sells more newspapers than good news. But hey, just because there's a recession doesn't mean we have to participate in the parade. My best to you and Tara. Frank Prieto Excellent article Dan.

I can’t agree with you more on number one– prospects vs patients. When you think about it, you’re actually getting a 90% conversion ratio from the free consultation. When it comes to conversions, it doesn’t get any better than that. Period.

Number five– Give Google $1 and get $2 in return. I’ll do that all day.

Number eight– Unfortunately bad news sells more newspapers than good news. But hey, just because there’s a recession doesn’t mean we have to participate in the parade.

My best to you and Tara.
