Workshop 3
⁢Lead conversions: balancing "touch" and "tech" to increase patient numbers
⁢The success of providers offering services to domestic and international patients depends on strong conversion rates, turning enquiries into patients. It is not enough to have high quality clinical services, a terrific website and excellent marketing if you are unable to convert leads into customers. A well-designed system that combines personalized relationship building with smart use of technology has a direct impact on lead conversions.

“Touch and Tech” is a model of marketing automation, coupled with personal intervention. Blending the current, best international business practices in marketing automation technology with the personal touch that clients demand, this program will show you how to build the lead generation and conversion system that best suits your customers.

The session topics include:

• Best in class tech management of lead generation
• Methods and critical milestones for “touch” in lead generation
• Integration of touch and tech to maximize conversion rates
• Case studies of what works and what does not

The session will be interactive with time for questions, answers, and discussion.
