What’s Your Cosmetic Practice Worth?

Plastic Surgery Consultant

Share This Post

You’ve dedicated years of blood, sweat and tears into building your cosmetic practice so you believe you have a valuable asset you can sell when the time comes. But do you?

Determining the value of your practice involves many factors that contribute to your attractiveness to potential buyers when the time comes.

Three main factors are included in this blog post.

 Keep these in mind throughout your entire career since it takes years to finesse these areas to get your practice off the ground, grow it year after year and weather the storms along the way:

Profits: The Core Indicator

The #1 indicator of a valuable practice is in its ability to generate cash. Prospective buyers of your practice are looking for predictable revenues they can count on month after month.

However, this is tricky if you are the sole revenue generator performing surgery. They can’t be certain your patients/prospective patients will see you the same way and stay with the practice once you leave.

So, buyers are looking for predictable revenue streams that don’t rely on YOU.

That’s why non-surgical procedures, with their transferable skills and broader audience of consumer patients, is an attractive profit center to build up and nurture.

Automated Marketing Systems

If you have a strategic marketing plan that uses technology
and creative strategies to attract more cosmetic patients to your practice with minimal overhead costs, that’s a winner that increases the value of your practice!

In today’s uber competitive market, finding and nurturing prospective cosmetic patients can be a daunting task that can’t be ignored.

Because leads are the lifeblood of a cosmetic practice. When they stop – you stop and so do your consultations, surgeries and revenues.

The secret is to have many “poles in the pond” so you have leads coming in from all fronts. So, if one marketing channel flops or closes on you, you still have the other marketing channels working. 

When you know how to leverage technology and the latest marketing strategies to attract a steady stream of cosmetic patients, while keeping your lead generation costs down, that increases your practice’s profitability and transferability to a buyer.

Clear Processes & Seamless Operations

Streamlined operations increase the value and marketability of your practice for several reasons.

Well-defined processes add consistency and reliability to patient care. Now your cosmetic patients have a great patient experience and that leads to not only patient satisfaction but also long-term loyalty.

Smooth operations increase efficiency and reduces waste of resources and overhead costs. You’re eliminating unnecessary steps and bottlenecks, as well as preventable mistakes costing you time, money, and aggravation.

This clarity also attracts and retains the best team players because they enjoy working for a practice that has well thought-out systems that allow them to do their job most efficiently.

Focus on bringing in more patients, while encouraging them to return, review and refer their friends is the name of the game. It’s about maximizing your results while minimizing the effort.

That’s how you build a valuable practice others want to invest in.

Rated 5 out of 5
"Catherine outlined a plan that put key metrics in place, gave us a clear plan to follow throughout the year and trained our staff to increase their conversions by at least 10%. Since engaging with Catherine, I’m happy to report that revenues are up 15% over the last three months - 22% in the last month alone! I highly recommend Catherine’s consulting services to any practice looking for “best practice” additions to their operation."

"I have finally tapped into the most efficient way to grow my cosmetic practice and that is to “fish in the pond of my own patients”. When patients return to my practice, over 85% will purchase another service, product, or procedure. Not only was it worth over $200,000 in revenues this past year, it also reminds my patients I’m still around so they don’t wander off to my competitors. Catherine’s group has far exceeded our expectations and goals we had set up for them to achieve."

"Our consult conversions were running at 40-50%. Then we attended Catherine’s online training and implemented her strategies. They immediately increased conversion rates to 75-80%."

"I know how to run a profitable practice; however, it was not without major staff issues, inefficiencies and unproductive drama. With Catherine's guidance, I reorganized staff, set up processes for them to carry more of the workload and hold them accountable so I have more time to focus on patient care. The changes we put in place and the staff training to convert more callers and consultations will easily increase my revenues by 15% as well as save us time, money and costly mistakes. "

"Working with Catherine and her team has been very profitable. We’re only half way through the year and I’m up $200K and I’m booked out for the next 2 months even though we typically go into our slow summer months now. Her recent promotion brought in an extra $63,782 with more surgeries scheduled. I never realized how much money was sitting in my patient list but I’m a believer now!"

“Catherine’s Cosmetic Patient Marketing Service has been a great addition to our practice-building overall plan. While we still invest in our online presence, we also found immense value in the internal marketing efforts. We especially like that all results are tracked so we know we are getting a great return ... last year it was 1,148% and no staff time was used. That’s a much easier way to grow my cosmetic practice.”

"Catherine Maley turned our practice around. We converted more consultations in one week than we did in an entire month. Our practice went from a painful 50% no show rate to a remarkable 85% show rate. Even more impressive was our close ratio - from 35% to 80% and still increasing. We would recommend her to any practice that’s looking to not only increase their profits today, but sustain a healthy flow of income for many years to come. Thanks Catherine!"

"Catherine found me the best patient care coordinator I could have asked for. She worked out a payment plan that was fair to me and motivating to my coordinator. She also provided training tools to help my coordinator convert better, even though she was already experienced. The results have been phenomenal. So good, in fact, that my income increased 250% and I’m booked out for 3 months. Don’t waste any more time or money doing it yourself. Outsource to someone you trust!"

"Since we’ve been working with Catherine and her team for the past 5 months, we’ve brought in $79K in surgeries and have booked an additional 17 surgical procedures and 20 non-invasive body procedures since then. This does not include the additional new patient referrals and revenues we are seeing from the on-going nurturing of my current patient database."

"I had given my staff the goal to convert at least $35K per week in surgeries AND I gave them the tools to help which was Catherine’s Online Learning Center at More Patients Academy. They watched Catherine’s modules and implemented her strategies and converted $80K! That equaled a 2,550% ROI. Nice!"
