just getting started here.
building this account from zero โ gonna be posting about clinic growth marketing, the stuff that actually gets patients to show up.
if that sounds interesting, follow along. appreciate anyone who rocks with me early.
@shubhh_hum The claude + gpt combo is underrated.
Claude for thinking through systems, gpt for execution tasks you need fast. hitting limits just means youre actually using it - most people aren't
@testingcatalog@a16z Chatgpt lead makes sense -- it became the default. what i notice in clinics: owners are using it, but almost never for the right stuff.
Intake copy, follow-up sequences, GBP post templates, that's where it actually moves the needle. Most are still using it to write bios.
Friction is the real enemy, not laziness.
I've seen clinic teams "work hard" for months on marketing that never converts - not because they lacked effort, BUT because the system had 6 points of unnecessary friction baked in
Simplify the path. the work takes care of itself.
Discipline isnโt painful.
Itโs removing friction.
Phone away. Tasks simplified. Sleep fixed.
The hard part isnโt the work.
Itโs convincing yourself to start consistently.
Once you do, everything else follows.
@alyciambaum Discipline is table stakes. what actually separates people is knowing what to be disciplined about
most clinic owners i talk to are extremely consistent -- at the wrong things
@RafalTomal Same gap as a clinic's lead volume vs their actual booked visits. Looks great on paper. falls apart at intake.
The last 20% is always ops. always.
@kylegawley The best clinic ops tools i've seen were built by people who actually understood the problem first.
AI just wrote the code. the thinking was still human.
Prompt quality = problem clarity. which means the craft never left, it just moved upstream.
@IroncladDev The "left behind" crowd never says left behind on what
vibe coding ships intake forms. It doesn't tell you why your no-show rate is 34%
tools lower the floor. craft raises the ceiling.
When interviewing medical receptionists:
"Everyone makes mistakes, but how they handle them reveals character and professionalism."
Ask about a time they messed up scheduling or patient communication.
What you're evaluating: ownership, correction steps, lessons learned.
patients are done with "new year, new me" energy.
they want small, sustainable wins.
smart clinics are leaning into this:
- "15-minute consults"
- "one simple test"
- "start with just 2 visits"
lower the barrier. book more appointments.
the gym packed in january โ empty by march phenomenon also applies to clinics.
new year brings:
- wellness consults
- "finally getting that checked out" visits
- weight loss inquiries
most clinics treat this like a spike.
smart clinics treat it like a pipeline.
