This week on Strata Stories, Paul sits down with Michael Silva, a PT business coach and consultant, about how to build a thriving referral network without relying solely on physician referrals.

They dive into key strategies for growing your clinic, including:
1. Partnering with trainers, coaches, massage therapists, chiropractors, and other non-physician providers to create a steady stream of referrals
2. How to leverage existing patients to build a powerful word-of-mouth network
3. Delivering the modern-day “fruit basket” of value to potential referral sources to build long-lasting relationships

This explores how community specialization can lead to both steady and exponential growth opportunities, helping you stand out in your local market.
