In Real Estate they say it is Location, Location, Location.
In Practice it is Increased Profitability & Results with Implementation, Implementation, Implementation.

We just returned from the Colorado seminar with over 70 participants.  I hate to brag on them too much and give them the big head, but they had to be one of the best groups ever.

We had Dr. Brian Anderson showing how to implement nutrition into their practices.  We had Brandy of TPR showing them how to increase their profit without increasing costs with the Six Steps of Implementation and the Twelve Steps to Increased Profitability.  Dr. Jason Campbell and Dr. Anderson showed every aspect of the Six Steps to Wellness with the Percussor, Adjustor, red laser, etc.  I showed the Violet Laser Protocol interlaced with all Six Steps and treated one doctor and CA after another for many miracles.

In PHOENIX THIS VERY WEEKEND we will do a repeat performance.  It will be a TREATING SEMINAR.  Doctors and their staff will get the latest and greatest techniques and implementation training for their office, while being treated at the same time.  Some of the problems we uncovered were absolutely life threatening.

Brandy will teach your staff and will do consultations with the doctors privately, if desired, to improve all aspects of your office procedures and increase your new patients with internal marketing ideas.

Dr. Vaughn Cook showed the ZYTO and tested nearly every participant in Colorado. He will be in Phoenix to do the same.

Within the present economy, Brandy has listed below how to do a business plan for new doctors, experience doctors changing locations, or existing doctors needing to revaluate if they are as cost effective and profitable as possible.
