You’re going to be expanding your business and that means hiring more people and getting more clients. However, you need to make sure that you have your workflows set up and working properly for your business. If these aren’t fully in place, growing your team can lead to chaos, lost clients, and burnout.
Intake Process
An easy and effective intake process is critical to running your private practice, whether it is solo or group. This includes quick response time, online scheduling, client screening, and having a portal for digital intake forms. You’ll also want to make sure that your portal has automated reminders and confirmation for clients. All of these things being in place means that getting and retaining clients will be as easy as possible, not just for you but for your clients.
Clinician Onboarding
An expanding group practice necessarily means having some sort of clinician onboarding system. You’ll need clear expectations and job description, comprehensive orientation, and training. You’ll also need to implement supervision and support for your clinicians. To be able to keep track of how they’re doing in your business and making sure that everyone is on the same page, you’ll always want to make sure to have some form of feedback and evaluation.
Marketing Strategy
Marketing is essential to getting a consistent flow of clients into your business. If you don’t have enough referrals coming in your clinicians won’t have enough clients. This could result in your team being unhappy with their positions and potentially leaving, resulting in higher turnover. You’ll need to make sure you have defined your target market, have consistent messaging, a good online presence, diverse referral networks, lead generation and conversion, and performance tracking.
