Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. 5 Shifts to Attract and Keep More Cosmetic Patients First, many cosmetic practices still believe discounting attracts new patients. However, the truth is that discounting is the worst way to grow revenue. Therefore, the most successful practices now grow faster. In addition, they charge more. Specifically, they do this by making five key shifts that:   First, add thousands to the bottom line   Next, reduce stress and staff burnout   Finally, remove the need for costly ads and discounts                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Learn the “5 Shifts to Attract and Keep More Cosmetic Patients” Next, in this week’s “Beauty and the Biz” podcast, I explain the “5 Shifts to Attract and Keep More Cosmetic Patients Without Ads or Discounts.” Furthermore, you will discover how to:   First, build “patients for life” instead of one-and-done transactions   Second, stop discounting and replace it with a smarter strategy   Third, use the secret weapon that grows your practice automatically   Fourth, see why retention has become the new attraction   Finally, lock patients to your practice with the KiSS Loyalty Club — not competitors   Why These 5 Shifts Matter As a result, practices using these shifts create loyal patients. Moreover, they grow predictable revenue. Ultimately, they stop the discount treadmill.

Indeed, welcome to "Beauty and the Biz," where we'll discuss the business and marketing side of plastic surgery. As always, I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of "Your Aesthetic Practice – What Your Patients Are Saying." and consultant to plastic surgeons, helping them get more patients and more profits. What They Don’t Teach You in Fellowship Specifically, Dr. Raja Mohan is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas. Additionally, he trained at MIT, Johns Hopkins and the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute. However, when he completed his fellowship, he realized he had almost no training in the business side of medicine. Still, that didn’t stop him. Instead, he started from scratch — with no office, no staff and no systems. Nevertheless, he built a thriving cosmetic surgery practice in one of the most competitive markets in the U.S.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Chiefly, in this week’s "Beauty and the Biz" podcast, Dr. Mohan explains:  First, why joining a senior surgeon often feels like a “second fellowship” in business Next, the common mistakes new associates make with exit strategies — and how to avoid them Finally, how he built confidence as both a surgeon and a business owner by learning on the job  Thus, his story proves that success in plastic surgery is more than surgical skill. Instead, it also requires resilience, adaptability and leadership. Finally, this "Beauty and the Biz" podcast episode is full of lessons most surgeons only learn the hard way.
