Picture the scene, the patient needs a treatment but it costs £960. For this patient, that’s a sum they just don’t have to hand. It can be a huge barrier. In fact, it’s a deal breaker and the treatment will not go forward – nobody wins.
Or how about this?
A person wants a cosmetic treatment. The clinic down the road advertises monthly payment options so that’s where they go for treatment. In this case, you are the only one who loses out.
As a Chrysalis partner, you could have offered both of them monthly payment options.
Now picture this…
You offer payment options through Chrysalis Finance – but you don’t stop there – you promote them at every opportunity.
To the first patient, rather than saying, “That’s going to cost £960.00,” you say, “You could spread the cost of your treatment over 24 months, which would cost £40.00 per month.”With this in mind, you give the patient the option to spread the cost, or pay in full. Everybody would be happy and the treatment goes ahead – giving them the option to choose what suits them best.
The second patient comes to you for their treatment rather than your competitor because they checked out your website and saw that you offered monthly payment options.
Promoting pay monthly options could transform your clinic – people relate to the idea readily and it opens the door to more treatments.
Are you a Chrysalis partner?
If you are already a Chrysalis partner clinic – great, everything is in place for you to start promoting payment options to your patients!
For many patients, monthly payments can be the deciding factor that makes the treatment possible, and for others, they may be just a sensible way for them to manage their money, adding the payments to their monthly budget.
Either way, unless you tell your patients it’s an option, they won’t know!
So, let’s get promoting. Here are 5 simple things you can do:
- Use our free point of sales materials – we can give you free marketing to help promote pay monthly options in your clinic – from posters, to leaflets, to TV presentations. If you display them prominently and they act as a silent salesperson, getting the message across while patients are in the waiting room.
- Join us for a refresher on how the application process works – our friendly sales team are more than happy to have a refresher call with you to go over the system and your patient’s application process (hint: it’s simple and speedy).
- Ask your Account Manager for tips on how to talk to your patients about the benefits of monthly payments and offer them to every patient. Clinicians and your reception team should be singing from the same hymn sheet so that patients get a clear and consistent message.
- Let us help you put together a page for your website that explains your monthly payment options, illustrating to them with examples and giving a link to apply.
- Use our special template to email your patients, letting them know that monthly payment options are all part of the service.
