Increasing Profits For Physicians and Their Practices Can Be Easy Through Network Marketing

It is no secret that the financial health of America's physicians is in a state of turmoil. Pending Medicare cuts, increased insurance premiums, missed office visits, and a multitude of other factors have severely affected the average physician's ability to generate enough revenue to support their own operation, much less their own personal life. It is estimated that shortfalls in revenue will force more than a quarter of physicians out of their profession by the year 2015. What's worse is that, by 2015, many of that physician's retirement plans may not have even recovered from the country's latest, almost devastating recession!Where does this put you - the physician whose practice is not making what it once was? Or the physician wondering how their retirement might look...be it in 2015 or even 20 years into the future? Perhaps you are the physician just looking for a way to subsidize their personal income or even diversify their revenue streams?Ironically, a viable answer to these common scenarios may lie in the implementation of a business model that has been around for over 50 years, but has typically been overlooked by the medical community. That business model is Network Marketing. To be more specific, we are referring to Network Marketing of Natural Health Products.Network Marketing, otherwise known as Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) or Relationship Marketing, is often misdiagnosed by the uninformed as some kind of business scam or unattainable get-rich-quick scheme. This thinking is the reason that many potentially great people simply miss the boat on creating additional income for themselves. When implemented correctly and ethically, and given the proper support, the business model is as successful, if not infinitely more successful than any other business practice that exists today.As a physician, we can recommend investigating Network Marketing opportunities that deal with natural health products for three very significant reasons:1) The products of these companies are in line with your profession and can supply you with a way to offer helpful and healthy recommendations to your patients, especially in the area of preventative health care.2) Your position as a physician makes you a "center of influence" in the community. Medical centers of influence, because of their inherent clinical credibility, stand to have the greatest success when recommending health related products.3) The nature of Network Marketing offers a way to generate significant income without the typical time commitment of a traditional career. This is commonly referred to as "time leveraging" - perhaps one of the most important factors to a physician given their already packed schedules.You next question may be: "Which company should I investigate?" Our best answer to that question would be to be open-minded and investigate several to find a company whose products closely match your specialization in healthcare. Try different products for yourself to see what you like and don't like.
