He Retired From Oil & Gas… Then Bought a Clinic

He Retired From Oil & Gas… Then Bought a Clinic #medspabusiness #franchise #weightlossclinic After 40 years in oil and gas, Kevin Wright was ready to slow down. Instead, a lunchtime webinar during COVID led him to buy a Medi-Weightloss franchise in Houston. In this episode of The Med Spa Revenue Lab, Jason Renno talks with Kevin about the first 18 months: what the franchise gives you, what you still have to figure out yourself, and what he'd do differently. Ready to grow your med spa with more booked patients and predictable revenue? Explore Premium Med Spa Bookings: https://premiummedspabookings.com/ Kevin explains how he competes when GLP-1 ads are everywhere, why doctor referrals (including OB-GYNs) are his best source of new patients, and how he's shifting from digital marketing to a local ground game: health fairs, community partners, a neighborhood magazine and even swim team sponsorships. You'll hear why he laughs at his original pro formas, what no-shows taught him about the human side of sales, the one pattern he spotted in the franchise disclosure document (the top earners spend the most on marketing), and the questions he wishes he'd asked other franchisees before he signed.
