I currently run really successful weight loss clinics which are free.

&lt;p&gt;As the job of selling diets is almost impossible due to outside influences, how about offering clients who pay for a full course of, say 5 sessions, a discount on a dental procedure - to be banked when the patient needs a professional dental scale and polish (as opposed to those wash n go offers by non vet practices). So, 1. Clients see additional value from the paid consult. Dentals are a popular &amp;#39;want&amp;#39; procedure but cost is always moaned about, so this is an incentive. 2. The practice gets income from the consults 3. The practice will make income from the dental procedures and, importantly. 4. The patient is looked after top to tail.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Similar &amp;#39;incentives&amp;#39; can be offered for other elective procedures. Anything that can&amp;#39;t be found outside a vet practice..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I come out with any other ideas, (usually in the shower for some odd reason!). I will share them... That is, of course, you think my curve balls are in any way near the mark!!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Regards&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
