How to Increase Sales with Goal Setting, Team Motivation & Incentives

Posted on June 11, 2010 by Francis X Acunzo

It is so incredibly difficult to juggle all of the tasks necessary to run a successful medical spa or cosmetic practice.  You need to manage the marketing process to receive a continual flow of leads; the sales pipeline to insure that leads are converted to consults which are then converted to clients/patients; and your operation with all of the issues and concerns from Human Resource management to facility management and everything in-between.

In addition, it is the physician owner or manager’s job to keep the team motivated, excited and wanting to provide the highest level of customer service and clinical care possible.  Goal setting and incentives can really increase your business and keep your entire team engaged in the process.  Plus, as you get busier and people have to work harder, you will make more profit and it is important to reward your team for building your company’s profits.

To hear more about my thoughts and insight into goal setting, team motivation and incentives join me on Tuesday June 15th at 1:00 p.m. EST as I present How to Increase Sales with Goal Setting, Team Motivation and Incentives.  During this 1-hour webinar I will also share some best practices and success stories of other medical spas and cosmetic practices.

I look forward to having you join me online on Tuesday.
