I am writing to share some knowledge about our most successful relationships and how our clients have benefited by partnering with us.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 175px;\">\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Partnerships<\/strong> &#8211; Partnering with our clients produces the most benefits when we are seen as an extension of their hospital. As a member of their team, we can develop a more complete and meaningful marketing plan, based on practice philosophy and the successful implementation of future goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Metrics<\/strong> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Veterinarians are not marketing professionals and I understand that. My job is to explore a practice owner\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s goals, measure these goals, develop a realistic marketing strategy, and evaluate its success.<\/li>\n<li><strong>New Ideas<\/strong> &#8211; The internet, smartphones, and social media have added a new complexity to marketing. Word of mouth is obsolete and the phone book is dead. Maximizing these new marketing solutions engages pet owners, promotes your services, and increases business.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2267\" alt=\"A Smiling Vet and Dog\" src=\"http:\/\/vetnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/smilingvetanddog-200x300.jpg\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vetnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/smilingvetanddog-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/vetnetwork.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/smilingvetanddog.jpg 283w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I have made it through my short spiel without a sales pitch. Now, here it comes: Unlike sales and customer service groups at other marketing companies, I &#8211; along with the rest of the VetNetwork team &#8211; am committed to the success of veterinarians. That means every strategy I develop, every seminar I attend, the webinars I watch, and marketing articles I read, I am constantly asking myself how to make these trends and tactics work for you.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to know how VetNetwork can benefit your practice, please <a href=\"http:\/\/vetnetwork.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\">get in touch with me<\/a>. I am excited to speak with you about all the ways we can increase your business and make 2014 your best year yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, I&#8217;m John Longley and although I am VetNetwork\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Marketing &amp; Sales Manager, I am not writing today to sell you anything.
