display was designed to take up just 1 square foot of floor space so it fits in even the smallest chiropractic offices. 2. Take BaxMAX’s free online training program and share it with your staff! “Anybody can log in and take our training for free,” Dave says. “It’s a 20-minute, video-based training with four segments, and there’s a 10-question quiz at the end. It covers selling techniques, the ins and outs of the brace, how to size a man, how to size a woman, and how to do a proper demonstration.” You can find the training at BaxMAX.net/pages/chirotraining2.
I could easily spend all day scrolling on my cellphone, doing nothing but answering emails, responding to texts, and checking social media. Sometimes, it’s incredibly tempting to do this, especially when my notifications go off nonstop! But I know it’s not healthy. The more time I spend on my phone, the less time I have to get work done, move my body, and hang out with Bennett and Marah. If you’re in a constant battle with your phone, too, try one (or more) of these digital detox strategies to take your day back. 1. Move your charger out of the bedroom. This is a quick and easy step, but it works! Moving your charger out of the bedroom will help you avoid checking your phone before bed or when you first wake up. 2. Start a ‘plug it in’ habit. When Marah gets home, she immediately plugs her phone into the charger and leaves it there. If your phone isn’t in your pocket, you won’t be distracted by notifications or default to scrolling out of boredom. 3. Establish a phone-free room. One of my favorite business mentors, Ed Mylett, has a room in his home where no technology is allowed. You can try this in your living room or kitchen to ensure you’re present and focused in those spaces.
3. Keep a demo unit within reach, either at your reception desk or in your examination room. Your patients will be more likely to buy the BaxMAX if they can try it on first, learn how nice the breathable mesh feels, and discover how easy it is to adjust the brace themselves. “You’ll want to have the add-ons for the demo as well,” Dave says, pointing to the hot/cold therapy packs that Velcro inside the brace and are excellent to use for inflammation, the 5-inch extender for larger patients, and the interior stays that add extra abdominal support.
Dave also recommends discussing the BaxMAX’s features with patients. Standouts include the fact that it’s the lightest, most breathable brace on the market and comes with a five-year replacement warranty. Visit Chiro1Source.com and search “BaxMAX” to grab a Starter Package and start selling!
4. Experiment with app blockers. TIME magazine suggests using apps like Freedom or OFFTIME to control your access to other tempting apps like Instagram, Facebook, or email. You can shut down your most addicting apps at the same time each day or remove the temptation for a few hours while you work. 5. Create a text auto-responder. This is another TIME suggestion. If you’ve committed to setting your phone aside during dinner or after 8 p.m., set up an automatic response to text messages so you don’t feel guilty about ignoring people.
HAVE A LAUGH!
These strategies helped me become more cognizant of my cellphone usage and resist the urge to scroll. Now, I can check my messages mindfully and put the phone back down instead of staying glued to the screen! If you try these tips, you’ll get your time back and feel happier, healthier, and more productive.
