Community awards too are becoming more and more common as they can help to get your business noticed in the local area, generate free press and give your practice an advantage over the competition.  There’s often a reluctance to enter your clinic for awards as Osteopathy is a quiet profession, however, in order to grow you must promote yourself and your practice to get noticed. There’s often a fear of failure but you must overcome the fear in order to gain recognition. Even when your practice doesn’t win an award you can still use the commendation as a powerful marketing tool to establish trust with your community and highlight your specialisms. To apply for an institute of Osteopathy award you must identify your defining qualities as a practice, understand how you serve your local community and provide a compelling recommendation for an award. BEST MOMENTS “Osteopathy is a quiet profession and that’s often why Osteopaths struggle to grow their business”“Awards can give your practice free publicity that would otherwise be costly”“Every year I sponsor an award at the Institute of Osteopathy awards”“Business awards are valuable to growing your practice” VALUABLE RESOURCESThe Osteobiz mastermindwww.osteobiz.as.me/consultationwww.osteobiz.com CONTACT METHODhttps://www.instagram.com/gillywoodhouse/[email protected]://business.facebook.com/Osteobiz/ABOUT THE HOSTSince 2013, Gilly Woodhouse has been inspiring and developing Osteopaths, other healthcare professionals and their clinics.
