Imagine if you could set up a system where you had people involved with the NDIS referring participants directly to your business.
Your whole job would become solely focused on providing the absolute best care available, and as long as you did that, people would continue to refer more and more participants to your business.
But who are these people giving all the referrals? And how do I build that kind of relationship with them?
These people can be:
Support Coordinators
Local Area Coordinators
Plan Managers
GPs and Medical clinics
Hospital discharge planners
Charitable organisations and religious groups
Other providers offering different services
One of the absolute best ways to get in contact with NDIS Participants is to build relationships with their Support Coordinators. One of the Support Coordinators main roles is to help participants to find suitable providers in their area that can help fulfil their plan, and that could very well just be YOU!
The million dollar question is How Do I Build A Relationship With These Kinds Of People?
By becoming a member of Participant Connect, you can access our already strong network of hundreds of businesses and individuals who can refer participants directly to you when they have one in need.
But why stop there, why not try to network with every single person in your local community, city or even state! Imagine how many referrals you could have with that many solid relationships!
There are several ways Participant Connect can help introduce your business to ALL of these people:
Email marketing is a strategy we use to send a complete campaign of introduction emails directly to these people. Marketing via Facebook, radio or with billboards is great, but people can often miss it.
Email marketing is much more powerful because your message will land directly in their inbox for them to read. Who knows, maybe you are reading this because Participant Connect sent YOU a direct email!
Just like email marketing, it’s really hard for people to ignore text messages sent directly to their phones.
A simple, short and perfectly worded SMS can have a huge impact in someone’s mind and have them thinking about your amazing services forever, especially when they are working with a participant who needs your specific services. Being at the forefront of their mind can help make sure they refer their participants to you.
Another powerful way of getting someone’s attention and introducing your amazing services is to send them some information in the post. I know what you’re thinking, “urrghh I hate when people send me flyers. I never even read them”. And you’re right, flyers alone mostly end up in the bin.
BUT, if you were to send a flyer, along with a cover letter and a little branded gift (maybe a fridge magnet, pen, keyring, you get the jist) all in one envelope with the persons name, they’ll think differently before throwing that out.
Each of these introduction methods are super effective on their own.
Now while you could spend dozens of hours trolling through Google collecting the emails, numbers and addresses of several hundred businesses yourself, Participant Connect has come up with the absolute most efficient strategy, and invested thousands of dollars into creating tools that allow us to reach hundreds of people every single day, and we can do the same for your business.
