Promoters are people who are going to recommend your services to friends and family. In order to create a net promoter, you may need to go beyond only satisfying customers. From Scott\\u2019s experience, he stresses, \\u201cSatisfaction is important. Satisfaction is the foundation of any good business, but what people have started to realize is that satisfaction in many ways is kind of worthless. Loyalty is what\\u2019s priceless.\\u201d

There are dozens of ways potential clients can stumble upon your services; most of them are via online platforms. Because of this, Scott encourages all practices to maintain an online presence. He has found that, \\u201cIf they are looking for physical therapy, you need to be able to be present in that local region.\\u201d

As your business grows, you may find yourself having difficulties finding ways to scale or automate certain aspects of your responsibilities. If you are wondering if automated email marketing is right for you, Scott suggests, \\u201cThat moment you start to feel like you\\u2019re losing control of things\\u2026 that could be a moment to start considering it.\\u201d
