You don’t need to panic when the economy shifts.

In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down how cash-based clinic owners can survive—and thrive—during uncertain times. He’s been through this before, and what he shares is based on real data from hundreds of practices he works with every month.

• Offer Flexible Sales Options – Create internal payment plans so patients can commit without heavy upfront costs. This increases conversions and gives patients a clear path to care.
• Tighten Up Your Sales Process – Less margin for error means every conversation matters. Role play, track conversions, and refine continuously.
• Double Down on Retention – Keep your current patients engaged. Follow up, overdeliver, and remind them of their wins to stay indispensable.
• Stay Visible and Connected – Don’t hide. Post content, write emails, host workshops, and stay connected to your referral network. Visibility = trust.
• Master Your Finances – Know your numbers, cut waste (not ROI-producing tools), and build a 3-month reserve. Evaluate subscriptions, spending, and even staff if necessary.

You don’t need a huge ad budget to fill your schedule.

In this episode, Doc Danny shares 7 totally free ways to start getting patients—fast. These tactics are perfect if you're in the early stages of your clinic, trying to get scrappy, or just moved to a new area. He breaks them down in under 7 minutes, with no fluff—just practical, actionable steps.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

✔️ Join Local Networking Groups – Whether it’s a BNI, chamber of commerce, or local business meetup, get out there and talk to people. Build real relationships. Practice your pitch.

✔️ Post (and Engage) on Social Media – Consistency beats perfection. Create helpful content for your avatar and engage with others. Like, comment, share, and start meaningful conversations.

✔️ Run Local Education Events – Teach what you know. Workshops on squat form, running mechanics, injury prevention—whatever your niche is. It builds trust and authority fast.

✔️ Offer Injury Screens – Quick, 15-minute mobility or movement assessments after workshops or at community events are a great way to convert interested people into paying patients.

✔️ Be Part of the Community (Not Just a Salesperson) – Want to work with runners? Go run. Join clubs, attend events. Be a human first. Relationships > pitches.

✔️ Become a Go-To in Facebook Groups – Answer questions, share value, and be generous. Don’t pitch. Let the DMs come to you by being genuinely helpful.

✔️ Ask for Referrals the Right Way – When your patients win, celebrate them—and ask if they know someone else you could help. Be direct, honest, and specific.

🧠 Pro Tip from Doc Danny:

“If you do the right work consistently, patients will come. The only way this doesn’t work is if you quit too early.”

In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down 5 local SEO tactics that actually work—and best of all, they’re totally free. He also shares how to get your time back using AI so you can actually implement these growth strategies instead of being buried in admin tasks.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

✔️ Google Business Page Is a Must – Claim it, optimize it with keywords (like “sports PT” or “ACL rehab”), post weekly, and add photos of your clinic and staff.

✔️ Get Reviews—Lots of Them – Social proof drives trust and rankings. Make it easy for patients to leave reviews when they’re most excited about their progress.

✔️ Fix Your NAP – Make sure your Name, Address, and Phone number are consistent across Google, Yelp, Facebook, etc. Inconsistencies hurt rankings.

✔️ Create Location Pages – Build pages like “ACL Physical Therapy Atlanta” with keyword-rich copy, local terms, social proof, and your clinic address.
