For UK private medical consultants

Your referral network isn't growing, and you're not sure how to change that

A static referral network means static revenue. The consultants growing their private income fastest are actively building GP and specialist relationships, not waiting for word of mouth to do the work.

From Paul

Tell me where that £12,600 is coming from, and I'll come back with the three things to fix first.

A few quick questions, about two minutes, and no typing. I read every one myself and reply with the three things costing you most and where I'd start. If it's useful, we talk. If not, you've still got a clear picture.

No obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one, and nothing automated lands in your inbox.

Paul, Solvable

I reply personally, usually the same day.
  • Referrals are concentrated among a few sources
  • No active diversification of the network
  • Reliance on relationships that may not persist
  • Referring is not made easy for new sources

How to fix it

Map where your referrals actually come from and the concentration risk Actively build relationships beyond your existing few sources Make referring to you straightforward for new GPs and colleagues

Frequently asked questions

Why does this problem persist?

Most referrals come from a small number of sources There is no active effort to broaden the network If a key referrer retires the practice is exposed

This is exactly what I do with UK private practices. Answer the few questions above and I'll come back personally with where to start. Paul.
