Don't ever feel like you will not get your business going! You must maintain a positive attitude and if you are passionate about billing and your new business, there is NO WAY you will fail; passion makes you move! Medical Billing Businesses are a dime a dozen. Yes, you will have people tell you to think "out of the box", as we all market the same way, right? Well, I am going to tell you and I believe this with all my heart....it is not ONLY what you have to offer potential clients, but....it is also about YOU; YOU meaning how you present yourself, the 'feeling' the potential client gets when he/she speaks to you on the phone, the 'feeling' the potential client gets when you have a face-to-face meeting. Mirror your potential clients actions, allow the provider to 'feel' your empathy towards his/her billing problems.......the outcome will be amazing.
Passion will generate a creativeness and motivation in you that will force you to succeed!

All the advice given is wonderful advice, I would just add that you have GOT to think OUTSIDE the box in this industry. Your standard brochures, faxes, letters, flyers, are NOT enough. Today's health-care provider needs someone who is completely 100% educated and on top of the latest things going on.. especially NOW. You must be able to talk and show off your knowledge of each and every issue that effects a medical practice TODAY. I get a lot of people asking me how they bypass the office manager, I stand by my advice and say it again.. DO NOT TRY TO!
2 things have been very successful for me. Instead of address labeled envelopes I use nice colored styled envelopes with handwritten address, I try to obtain the name of the office manager or practice manager so that I can even address is directly to them.
The second thing is what I am putting in those envelopes. I've had a lot .. ( A LOT) of great feedback and success offering a simple 1 hour (or 90 min) FREE (USE THE WORD FREE) consultation or troubleshooting session. I let the practice choose a topic or I invite them to bring to the table some problems within their office. I include lunch for the whole staff which is a great way to get to at least see the doctor ;) The ones I'm really having a success with lately are talking to offices/doctors/billers about what the healthcare reform bill will mean to them. I've done a lot of research on this topic and have watched it unfold from the beginning. Another topic are the Medicare Cuts scheduled to go into effect after the latest delay, May 1, 2010. These are just a couple of many hot topics practices really want to know about. These lunches/meetings give you a solid chance to go in and SHOW off! It's also a test to see if you really are READY. If you are not up-to-date on these and other issues affecting our industry it might be a good idea to get educated and get researching.
Seriously.. this is a wonderful time to market! Many medical practices are really thinking of making office cut backs, staff cuts, and looking for MORE ways to save on overhead, so many things are happening right now and whether we like them or not personally, the can seriously mean MORE business for you. If you are ready, willing and able, you should NOT have a problem obtaining clients in today's market!
