Here is the Link to Grab the Downloadable Template containing 10 Questions to ask your patients for a testimonial video.

Finding questions to ask your patients for a patient testimonial video can be difficult, especially when you want their responses to be aligned with the overall objective of your patient testimonial video.

Let's breakdown the story arc of your video, so that you're not just randomly asking questions but instead you'll use an outline to navigate the patient to make specific responses that keep them on track with the overall theme of your patient testimonial video.

Story Arc Outline for Patient Testimonial Videos:

1. Address the patient's initial problem

2. Highlight why they chose you

3. The solution - (You\Your business)

4. How you helped them overcome it

5. Why they'd recommend you to others

The purpose of creating a story arc is not just because expert filmmakers do it, but because it actually works!

Ps. If you'd prefer to watch this episode on YouTube here you go!

How to Improve your Patient Experience (8 Step Checklist)

It's easy to get carried away into perfecting your skill and delivering amazing patient results, especially when you're passionate about what you do;

but what about the other interactions that patients have with your brand?

What is their patient experience like? And could it use some improvement on your end?

Here's an 8 step checklist on how to improve your patient experience so that current and future patients will want to keep coming back to you later on.

But first... grab our free episode downloads here: https://www.patientgrowthaccelerator.com/downloads

1. Easy & Accessible Online Appointment Scheduling

Just take a look at these statistics from WP booking plugins.

• 42% of patients prefer to book appointments online.
• 77% of patients think that having the ability to book, cancel, or change appointments online are important.
• 64% of patients are seen to use self-scheduling in the coming years

1. Automated Appointment Confirmations and Reminders

Once a patient books an appointment send them a confirmation email that includes the date, time, location of the appointment and any additional information that they'll need to prepare for it.

Before their appointment consider sending them an appointment reminder email or text, giving them enough time to prepare for it and to arrive on time. This will help improve your patient experience and show your customers how efficient you are.

1. Patient Paperwork Should be Accessible Online

Just think how much more patients you could see each day if you provided your patients with an online link to complete all required paperwork online.

All of this information will have to be entered digitally at some point anyway, so why not have your patients complete the form remotely so that it can be digitally stored in your customer relationship management system.

1. Politely Respond to Patient Queries ASAP

This means responding to social media leads, emails, website inquires and answering phones promptly with enthusiasm, introducing yourself to patients, and being helpful and willing to answer all of their questions.

1. Share Helpful Content on Social Media and your Website

Social media is the perfect way to connect with your new and existing patients online. As online users continue to turn to social media to learn more about brands and what they have to offer, it is important that you consistently show up online with valuable content.

Patient testimonials, before and after progress photos and screenshots of patient reviews are a great way to promote brand credibility on social media and your website.

I’d also highly recommend checking out this video for more free tips on sharing helpful content on social media.

1. Send Emails to Keep your Patients Engaged Online

If your goal is to improve your patient experience then definitely consider sending engaging emails to your audience at least once per month.

This video covers everything you need to know about sending emails that your customers will want to open and engage with.

1. Send Patient Surveys for Feedback

Surveys can be crafted based on the questions that you'd like to get feedback on from your patients, here are an example of a few questions that you can ask:

1. How did you find the experience of booking appointments?
2. Were our staff empathetic to your needs?
3. How long did you have to wait until the doctor attends to you?
4. How easy is it to navigate our facility?
5. How happy are you with the doctor’s treatment?
6. How satisfied are you with the results?
7. How likely are you to recommend us to your friends and family?
8. How much do you rate us? (5 being the highest rating)

1. Internally Review your Patient Reviews

Take some time to review what your patients are saying about their experience at your practice by reviewing their reviews on Google, Facebook, Yelp etc.

If a patient truly has a great experience, they will want to share it with others, and the same is true for negative patient experiences.

How to Write Captivating Instagram Captions

Instagram has confirmed that comments and captions are super important when it comes to feed ranking so it's a great idea to start crafting more captivating instagram captions to boost your ranking on the platform.

At the core of every instagram caption (done well) you'll find a story, a conversational tone and a purpose; not to state the obvious here, but it also needs to be 100% related to the image, video or audio content associated with the post.

1. Instagram Captions should have a Purpose

2. Write Conversational Instagram Captions

3. Your Instagram Caption should tell a story

How to Increase Email Open Rates (5 Ideas)

Hopefully you're sending an email newsletter at least once per month. If not, here's why you should start.

Data from Pew Research shows that 92% of adults in the United States use email, and 61% of these email users are checking and sending emails on an average day.

This presents a great opportunity for businesses of all sizes to reach their target market, no matter what their audience looks like.

Are you taking advantage of this opportunity by showing up for your audience with email newsletters?

Sending email newsletters can help you attract and retain customers with personalized messages that promote your content, brand and services.

You can segment contacts and use personalization techniques to deliver messages that customers can’t ignore. The bottom line is, your email newsletter database is valuable.

After all, these people signed up to receive your content, so they're expecting you to engage with them on a regular basis. And yet, the average email open rate in 2020 was 18%.

That means less than one of every five subscribers you’ve earned looks at the content you send.
