"How and Why do you offer such low prices?"

"Who are you exactly?"

"Why do you offer such low prices?"

"How do you offer such low prices?"

I can offer low prices through the following common sense measures:

• Minimising my overheads - I do NOT have expensive High Street offices. My practice is out-of-town (at an interesting new office complex on a Business Park) which greatly reduces the rent & rates.
• Minimising staff costs - I do NOT have layers of managers "helping" with the business
• Minimising home visits - I have found that home visits are very often unnecessary and often technically unsatisfactory. I therefore try to limit these to those cases recommended by GPs, hospitals etc - and even then I may need to levy a charge to cover my costs.
• Increasing my sales volume - Many traditional dispensers see relatively few customers, so they need to charge quite high prices to cover their costs. However my low prices attract a higher volume of customers, which means that I need to make less profit per sale in order to pay the bills - which means lower prices for you.
• Limiting free follow-up visits  - Many dispensers allow you free follow-up visits for the life of the hearing aid - and they allow for this in their high prices. However in reality I find most customers only need a single follow-up visit in the first one or two months whilst getting used to their new hearing aids, so you may be paying for a service you never need. However after the free follow-up visit I will need to charge for each consultation ... and most clients will never need to use this paid-for service. This allows me to greatly reduce my prices.
• Minimising wasted visits - It seems to me that maybe 1-in-3 of those who visit a "traditional" dispenser walk away empty handed - they simply find the very high prices unacceptable. This can happen because the customer is only told the prices at the very last minute. (Missing 1-in-3 sales means that the 2-in-3 who DO buy an aid are paying for that "lost" time spent by the dispenser with the unhappy clients) However I expect almost all my clients to buy an aid from me - my prices and service simply cannot be beaten - and I tell you my prices BEFORE you even arrive. No surprises, very low prices and excellent service - simply an unbeatable combination!

I believe that these common sense measures allow me to provide an excellent and professional service whilst keeping my prices very low.
