Three Tips to Increase Your Profits with Amazon Business Prime

Uncategorized Jul 07, 2024

There's a good chance you're not using the right Amazon Prime account for your practice...

Most of us, when we start our businesses, use our personal Amazon Prime accounts to order everything from laptops to furniture to office supplies.

Why wouldn't you?

Amazon pricing is generally competitive with anything you'd find at a local store AND it shows up on your doorstep for free in 24-48 hours thanks to Prime.

BUT, your personal Amazon Prime account will not save you as much money as signing up for a Amazon Business Prime account

That's because the Business Prime account offers to three features that your personal Prime account doesn't, specifically:

- Quantity Discounts - With Amazon Business Prime, you get quantity discounts when you purchase 2 or more of nearly 60 million items. They've even got a whole special section designed to highlight sellers that reward you for buying more. This can easily add up to hundreds, if not thousands of dollars in increased...

Ten Books That Transformed My Private Practice

Devouring the wisdom of others is one of the most common traits I see among successful business owners in all industries. By devouring, I mean they take in large quantities of thought, digest it and seek to pull out at least a couple usable nuggets for personal growth or professional evolution.

In particular, they focus on the hard earned wisdom acquired during others' journeys, in the hopes of shortening their owning learning curves. They do this, not in an effort to copy them or become them, but to rely on that which is already known, while they push into their unknown and build a better business or life.

Soak that in... highly successful people look for ways to shorten their learning curves, as part of reinventing themselves or the wheel. 

So, in that vein, here's my list of the best, game-changing thought from others when it came to building my six-time Inc 5000 mental health practice... 

Disclosure: While I do whole-heartedly recommend every one of these books, I...

Admin Training Day & Chick-Fil-A: Boosting Culture and Professional Development

 

42 administrative team members gathered together for an in-person training this past Friday for Chenal Family Therapy, PLC. While the day was dedicated to training, it was also filled with encouraging and culture-boosting activities as well! Here are the highlights:

  • Gratitude:
    • Ken Clark, CEO of CFT, started the day with a gratitude exercise. As prompted, team members pulled out their phones and sent a text expressing appreciation to someone important in their life (that wasn’t in the room).
    • Ken went on to share his vision and purpose for the admin team in 10 statements broken down by a stop/start function: 
      • Grace, Healing, Boundaries, Hope, and Change start with the clients' interactions with our admin team.
      • Drama, Stigma, the Search, Aloneness stop when clients' reach out to start services through our admin team.

  • Guest Speaker- Michel Harding, CFA Owner/Operator:
    • First Mile Service (standard service expectations- operations and logistics)
    • Second Mile Service...

The Changing Economics of Mental Health Private Practice by Ken Clark

Trigger warning for bad news, pessimism, etc. 
 
 
Background on this post: 
 
Someone had started another thread about what they fear are the long-term implications of the NSA. What follows are my opinions and could definitely be wrong, but also reflect my prior career as a Wall Street professional who analyzed industry directions as part of what I did. It also reflects my experience writing an insurance licensing textbook prior to grad school and the insight I've gathered running a 200+ clinician practice (which makes me privy to some higher level discussions with payers, industry analysts, etc). Let me preface all this by saying, what lies ahead for outpatient mental health has already happened in other healthcare sectors, so none of this is too surprising. It's simply the economic reality of the exploding demand for mental health, as well as the relative lack of regulations around how much services are accessed and how outcomes are measured.
