10 years ago when this picture was taken from one of my early events, the “movement” in the PT profession was towards Cash PT. New PTs looked at Insurance businesses and their paultry 5% margins (and constant hell on hold to a company to find out about yet another denail) and realized that there had to be a better way. And there was. Cash PT Practices allowed anyone to start a side hustle, in a gym, focus on 1-1 care, charge $200 and expect to make 20% margins. “Cash Pay” was the goldrush.
Today? The Cash PT model isn’t as easy as once was. Many PTs have started and find themselves stuck with a life that isn’t any more rewarding than if they had a job. Margins are eroding. Cost of staff, premises, expansion costs, marketing costs and so on are trapping 10,000s of aspiring clinic owners to the 9-5 of the Treatment room.
Thank goodness for the arrival of AI.
Like ten years ago, we are at the dawn if a new type of Practice… one that is Ai first, systems led, and OWNER controlled. The new “flex” in PT is not “cash pay”… that is simply a model. “Ai First” is a way of building that is going to give Cash Pay clinic owners a chance of 30-35% Profit margins that were once unthinkable.
Don’t believe me? I look at $1M+ practices all day every day, and when I strip out the cost of a marketing assistant, a front desk assistant - and possibly even an outbound sales rep - that are all replaceable with AI - i see 35% margins.
But here’s the catch: only for the brave and the courageous-Like the PTs in this picture at my event in Chicago in summer 2017.
At that time, everyone said “Cash PT” wont work. These guys did it anyways.
Right now, the same losers who doubted Cash PT are doubting Ai. …What about you? …Gunna’ stick with the low profit margins that you have right now? Or, risk it and become an Ai first clinic that gives you a chance of 30-35% profit?…This, and more, the topic of my next seminar (200 person) in Los Angeles, May 1-2-3. DM for details. ❤️

My staff are offended by EVERYTHING lately. Is this a generational thing or am I just old?
