The Art and Science of Fanatical Patient Results

I once asked world-class surgeon, long-time LogiCole client and close friend Greg Parkhurst, about what it takes to create such impressive surgical results for his patients.

Because I’ve met many of his patients over the years of working together, and they aren’t just happy. They’re fanatical about their outcomes and the way he’s changed their lives.

My layman paraphrase of his eloquent explanation:

There are so many technical aspects that go into the surgery – the technology, the measurements, the treatment types and even combinations of treatments. But creating fanatical results goes beyond that. What we do as surgeons has to be a science AND an art. It’s not just plugging numbers into a machine. It’s about understanding the patient, understanding the nuances and limitations of the treatments, knowing what they really want to be doing with their eyes, and taking all that into account when designing their treatment plan.

Art and Science. Crucial advice for any surgeon, and I would say it also extends to marketers, surgery schedulers, phone teams and more.

Sure, there are technical aspects to what we all do. But there’s also an art to it. Understanding people, what they need, how they need to be led. Intuition, influence, leadership and empathy.

For example, a question I get asked often – “How many times should we follow-up with leads?” This is a very technical, “data-based” question. While it’s a reasonable question, It’s devoid of the “art” component of followup. Which often is the most critical piece to success or failure in your conversion process.

Next Tuesday, I’m jumping on a webinar with a group of my super-smart industry friends to share Zeiss’ mega-study of digital lead secret shops. We’ll share all the data – the science – about the surprising trends they discovered.

And we’ll also get into the Art of follow-up, conversion and what needs to happen to maximize your consult bookings and out-convert your competition.

Join us to discover the Art and Science of digital lead conversion.
