Craigs List
aksharhealth:
Thanks Michelle,
I agree with you that I made a mistake. I got another email today from different practice, asking me a quote. In this case he did provided the information so I gave him a quote. Any suggestions to improve my mistakes and get these two accounts?
PMRNC:
Another thing to consider.. MANY times you will get other billing companies looking for information.. that's why I'm not too sure I agree giving a quote is even the right way to go, but like I mentioned, I just don't like Craigs list for this very reason. If I were to receive a request for a quote via email or I only had an email to contact a potential client, my radar is up and I don't think it's too much or overkill to go ahead and get additional information. Look at it this way, they, themselves have turned to Craigslist to find help right? Well they would expect SERIOUS inquiries to need additional information. JMO
Michele:
Linda is right, it could be somebody fishing. Try to be sure you are dealing with a provider (serious inquiry) before quoting. On the first one you could email her back (if she looks legit) and give her an estimate, but explain that you would need more info to give a good quote.

Here's my 2 cents on Craigs List:
It takes alot of responding to ads to get a response back (usually 75-100 to 1 good lead) Think of direct mail results, usually 1%.
I have picked up several clients. One was a chiropractor, another an Audiologist, another a Incontinence Care Clinic, and I'm currently on a AR Recovery project for another. I also have another practice scheduled to come on board in 6 weeks - all from Craigs List.
In fact, some of the most professional offices I have worked with have come from Craigs List. I have gained some great friendships. Yes, there are weirdos that post on Craigs List, but there are alot of legitimate folks as well. Everything as its pros and cons.
I agree with Michele about answering their question about pricing. I too have scared away a few leads with your approach, and sometimes even when answering their question outright, you may not get a response. But I feel it is more tactful.
I wish you the best in your marketing!

The Craig List is not to bad I sent my resume yesterday by using the 12 Marketing Stratgies #6 Ads for billers and they called me today and I have a interview tomorrow with the office manager it is A Chriopractic office of about 3-4 physicians and I do know they are egaer to make a decision tomorrow so I got to go in there and sale myself and explain the pros and cons of outsourcing there billing to me versus in-house billing
