As an existing practice, CIQs are the single most valuable resource you can implement. A CIQ is a Client Interest Questionnaire. This questionnaire is a list of treatment interests and list of problem areas that new patients (or existing) fill out to identify a clients interest.They designed to gather more information about your clients interests. The best part about them. They are virtually FREE marketing!
How do I know what to put on my CIQ?
- You first want to come up with a list of your current services – make sure you aren’t putting their “government name” as I like to call it. So instead of Morpheus, you’ll put Microneedling. Instead of Emsculpt or CoolSculpting, you’ll put body contouring.
- You want to come up with a list of devices / services that you want to offer in the next 6-12 months and add those on your CIQ as well. This will give you an idea of if you have an existing market for those treatments!
- You’ll also want to add a second list of “concerns” – this would be a list of skin/body concerns that your patient is experiencing. Examples of this would be – Cellulite, Skin Laxity, Dark Spots, Fine Lines/Wrinkles…
- Once you’ve created these lists, you can now figure out if you want to implement these on paper format or virtual (jotforms is what I like to use for all digital forms)
- Now you distribute!
Pro Tip: Have 1 person in the office manage the implementation and the data dump of the CIQs. This is a job for someone lower level and easily delegatable!
