Step-by-Step Process

1

Find established practices with patient volume

Lead Hub

Target practices that have been around long enough to have a large inactive patient list.

  • Search: "chiropractor [city]", "physical therapy [city]", "PT clinic [city]"
  • Filter for businesses with 50+ reviews (indicates longevity)
  • Look for 3-5+ years in business if visible
  • Export with website and review count

Pro Tip

Practices with 100+ reviews have YEARS of patient data they're not using. These are goldmines.

2

Check their current marketing setup

Lead Hub

Identify practices without marketing automation.

  • Run Tech Stack Detector on practice websites
  • Look for LACK of: email marketing tools, CRM, marketing automation
  • Note if they have ChiroTouch or other practice management (but no marketing)
  • Practices with basic sites = no patient reactivation happening

Pro Tip

If they have a practice management system but no marketing tools, they have the data but aren't using it.

3

Mine reviews for patient volume hints

Lead Hub

Reviews reveal how busy they are and patient retention clues.

  • Check Yelp for patient volume mentions
  • Look for "been going for years" reviews (loyal patients exist)
  • Note any "I stopped going but came back" reviews
  • Identify practices that seem to rely on new patients only

Pro Tip

Reviews saying "I stopped going but came back" prove reactivation WORKS for their patients.

4

Get decision maker contacts

Lead Hub

Chiropractors are usually owner-operators. Find them directly.

  • Scrape practice websites for doctor/owner info
  • Most chiro sites have the owner prominently featured
  • Get email addresses - many use firstname@practice.com
  • Note personal details for rapport building
5

Personalize the dead patient opportunity

Smelt AI

Calculate their specific reactivation revenue potential.

  • Upload leads with practice name, years in business (estimate from reviews), owner name
  • Generate opening lines about their untapped patient database
  • Calculate: 5 years x 100 new patients/year = 500 inactive patients minimum
  • Avg patient value $1,200/year = $600K in dormant value

Pro Tip

Chiropractors understand patient lifetime value. Frame it as: "These people already said yes once. They're way easier than new patients."

6

Send reactivation outreach

Email Sender

Hit the dead patient file angle hard.

Subject: {{doctor_name}}, what happened to your 2019 patients? Dr. {{last_name}}, Quick thought - you've been practicing in {{city}} for {{years}}+ years. That means you have thousands of patients who used to come regularly but stopped. Where did they go? Most didn't leave town. They just... forgot about you. The average chiro has 2,000+ inactive patients worth $600K+ in lifetime value. They already trust you. They've already paid you. They're the EASIEST revenue you'll ever get. I help practices like {{practice_name}} reactivate those dead patient lists automatically: Month 1: "Dr. {{last_name}} noticed you haven't been in for a while. Any pain flare-ups?" Month 2: Special offer for past patients Month 3: "We miss you - here's what's new at the practice" One chiro client reactivated 47 patients in the first 30 days - that's $14,000+ in appointments. Worth a 10-minute call to see how many patients you could bring back? {{your_name}}

Pro Tip

Send early morning - chiropractors check email before their first patient.
