My
wife Rhonda was going to buy some decorative paper plates for a
Christmas party we are hosting and on her way to the paper isle she was
talking to a lady who worked at the store. The lady happen to say - "I
told my husband there is no way I am going to pay $3. for decorative
paper plates. I can get the white ones for half."
When Rhonda came back to where I was, I noticed that she had these ugly white plates in her cart - I said "What are you doing with these?" She said, "Well the lady who works here said she would never pay $3 for the decorative plates!" I said - "I wasn't asking her to buy them."
We went back and got the nice ones - but it was the people who worked there who talked us out of a sale because THEY are cheap. Do we ever influence our patients to be cheap because we are? Are we insurance minded?
By the way,
I recently tried to buy my mom a prescription she needed - when I came back to purchase it - there was one bottle he hadn't filled - he said- "I didn't fill this one because it isn't covered by insurance." Now, was that his decision? Who told him I wouldn't pay for it?
We would never do that.... Would we?
Are there any bottles we don't fill - Like Wellness(maintenance) because insurance is used up? Do we influence cheap? Could we turn our patients into better paying and referring patients with more of a successful mindset?
