An open letter to medical doctors, chiropractors and naturopaths from Dr. Gerred Popejoy, D.C., Q.M.E.Dear Healthcare Professional,
Why do we still use outdated, inefficient ways to sell nutrition to our patients? Why are we still required to stock and retail nutritional products? Why are we spending time to physically show and sell products to patients which takes up our attention from what we do best? Why do patients stop using products when they stop seeing their doctor? Why would your nutritional income stop when you retire or become disabled? Doctors have stopped recommending nutrition because of these reasons, and they, at times, feel like a sales person, not a doctor. I know I did.
Then why are the latest journals and practice management consultants telling us to add nutrition into our practices? Maybe nutrition should be a part of our patients' daily healthcare, and as their doctor, you should be making those recommendations. Maybe they know you can create a new profit center in your office.
Problem #1 – Nutritional companies sell us products to stock and sell at retail.
Problem #2 – They don't provide us with any program to efficiently make recommendations.
For over twenty years, I have been asking when they are going to correct these problems. In 2001, I found an international nutritional company based in Batesville, Arkansas, with a history of selling quality products to doctors since 1936. Since 1992, patients have been able to order directly with a 30-day money-back guarantee; this solved the problem of carrying products. After two years making recommendations to my patients without carrying products, I still was left with a problem. How could I make a nutritional recommendation in less time than it took to write a prescription with all the necessary information to my patients? I spent the next five years creating and testing a new program to solve this problem.
The One-Step Nutritional Information System allows you as a healthcare professional to integrate nutrition into your practice with an uncomplicated, simple delivery system of customized nutritional information sheets in over 20 areas: daily nutrition, whiplash, DJD, fibromyalgia, weight loss, anti-aging, etc. The sheets are available in five languages — English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, and Japanese — on CD at no cost to you. There is the added benefit of a financial return, or not if you choose, without carrying products.
Now, with the One-Step System and a nutritional company with great products standing behind you, you can create a new profit center in your office. I want you to take this opportunity to try the One-Step Nutritional Information System in your office before you make a final decision.
We can provide your office with a complete nutritional program. Email Dr. Ross at david@drdavidross.com. You also will receive a DVD for your waiting room on nutrition and the products.
I’m sure you will have some questions on how to get started, so please call.
Sincerely,
Gerred L. Popejoy, D.C., Q.M.E.
