Anchoring

Always end your encounters with a positive word or phrase.

 

 

I use “get better.”

 

 

It’s called anchoring. The positive word will suffuse your entire encounter with a positive feeling.

 

 

Because I do this on a regular basis, my systems preferentially send more patients my way, my malpractice risk is lower and I get extra money through those services who pay for high patient satisfaction.

 

 

It’s a simple tool that, once you’re in the habit of using it, pays big, big dividends.

 

 

Try it.
