Getting referrals from other patients is critical to the success of any local practice. Are you really getting as many referrals as you can? My guest today has built a system to make sure she can say she does, and she’ll give us some insights into her system on this episode.

Mary Lou Savino has been practicing physical therapy since 1992 and opened Be Fit PT & Pilates in 2008. She specializes in the use of Pilates as therapeutic exercise in rehab with an eclectic approach to incorporating Pilates, Dry Needling, Light Therapy and wellness modalities into treatments. Mary Lou has always been a fitness and health enthusiast, so her concept behind this integrated model was to be able to go beyond traditional PT and utilize things like light therapy, dry needling, Pilates and core strengthening, and massage therapies to be a more well-rounded practice and to be able to take PT to the next level.

In this episode Carl White and Mary Lou Savino discuss:

• When she realized that building a system for referrals was a good move
• The core elements of her system, for example, the front desk’s role, and measuring patient responses to the system
• What part(s) of the system she’s working on now, and why
