Volume 293

November 5, 2025

Amid healthcare practices’ ever-present competitive challenges and secular growth opportunities, Starting with Why is an attitudinally healthy choice. This is the reason (291 weeks ago), Volume 2 featured Simon Sinek’s motivation:


“How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action.”

As a refresher, see Simon’s thought-provoking TEDx talk and enthusiastically devour his popular book.

One primary message is “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”


Deeply admiring those Elevating the Profession, this early Practice Growth Insights asserted:


“If Communicating Well is one CORE ‘Why,’ then this essence should be strategically infused into all your practice branding, culture and grassroots educational marketing initiatives. Led by a genuinely patient-centric ‘Why,’ it is imperative to consistently express this central message to your team, patients and local healthcare community in professional ways which are ‘loud and clear.’”

With the holiday season fast approaching, gain rejuvenation from a Sense of Purpose (and Urgency). 


This is Why last week’s volume professed:

“While putting ‘perfect gifts’ in sight catalyzes retail success, those with auditory challenges deserve a healthy counterbalance emphasizing Why communication wellness elevates experiential aspects of cherished times with family, friends and colleagues.”


“At home, work and play, people deserve to hear better every day. With an authentic sense of purpose, aspirational messages should encourage those with hearing challenges to invest in high-integrity care which consistently delivers Joys of Hearing.”

By embracing our 6 Growth Steps, methodical practices optimize results with strategic solutions, while modeling success cycle rigor for next practice growth programs. Consider this process an advantageous gift which keeps on giving.

Volume 24 scored with:

advocacy scale

“While leading practices understand the rationale, more should gain from inspirational themes and systematic processes which reliably increase friends and family referrals. In countless conversations, busy clinicians routinely self-assess their performance with respect to these core goals as ‘we make occasional efforts but must do better.’ On a scale from 1-10, how productive is your internal referral program and are needed improvements deemed imperative?”


“With professional intent, your team shares the Joy of Hearing with those entrusted in your care. These days, more joy is all good.”

“Just as you provide patients the right fit with verified protocols, you and your colleagues must apply healthy habits in asking proper questions, at the right time, in your own words. When you bring better hearing to patients’ lives, with reciprocity in mind, they are naturally receptive to advocacy discussions.”

From a business perspective, Do the Math:

As your friends and family referrals grow, so will positive financial impacts. Based on conservative $5000 average transaction value, effective referral nurturing and helping of:


  • 1 additional patient weekly creates 52 x $5000 = $260,000 of incremental annual revenue


  • 2 additional patients weekly create 104 x $5000 = $520,000 of incremental annual revenue

Volume 171 strongly recommends Building Success on Success virtues:

“Encouraging happy patients to share joys of hearing in their circle of life, enthusiasm about prescribed solutions is a healthy catalyst to nurture advocacy. With priceless quality-of-life improvements the heart of the matter, let’s delve into associated economic terms (another acronym…):”

“For discussion’s sake, we assess these intuitive variables:”

  • Age at initial fitting, a new patient
  • Upgrade frequency, a loyal patient
  • # of fittings throughout their lifetime
  • # of referrals to other new patients

“By the numbers, what can be learned from contrasting 2 distinct journeys?”


LVOPS = $42,500 ($5,000 + $17,500 + $20,000), perhaps more when 4 friends advocate with other prospective patients. Notably, as positive trends accelerate, marketing resources can be conserved and/or redirected to other community outreach initiatives such as physician referrals.”
