ACU-055 Business Basics: How To Run Multiple Treatment Rooms with Megan Lindsey DACM

AcuSprout: Acupuncture Podcast

Explore What Jane Has To Offer!!!

Are you ready to level up? Not sure how to transition from 1 room to 2 or 3? This is such a common question I often get from my coaching clients.

How do you treat 2 patients an hour? As a business coach to new practitioners, I get this question SO often! So… I called in my friend Megan who purchased a very busy clinic as a relatively new practitioner and basically started her career treating multiple patients an hour.

We all definitely have our comfort zone as practitioners, but I think it’s important for you to consider getting to two rooms as quickly as possible. It’s more time and financially efficient and oh-so-fun! As new practitioners we often spend way too much time and do way too much per visit in one hour. Running 2 rooms an hour forces you to be efficient with your time and trust your needles to do the work. I promise it works! Listen in as Megan and I share our processes.
