Otherwise, it’s hard for business to pick up.
Li Jingsheng’s medical skills are excellent, and he handles relationships with patients and their families well, which greatly helps in boosting the clinic’s business.
Moreover, his clinic now has five employees.
It’s not just him who’s good at maintaining relationships with patients; everyone works hard together.
For example, elderly customers buying health supplements usually come looking for Xiaogao.
Because they’re familiar with Xiaogao and have an emotional bond, they naturally trust him more. They believe that buying from Xiaogao not only gets them the best prices but also the most suitable medicines.
This kind of attentive service is highly attractive to customers.
It encourages them to become regulars at Sunshine Clinic and even introduce friends and family to come and buy.
The medicine quality at Sunshine Clinic is reliable, and now that they accept health insurance cards, it’s no wonder the business is more booming than before.
And this upward trend is rapid.
It’s been going up consistently these days.
This is reflected in the daily sales volume and revenue of the medicines.
The number of customer visits is also significantly increasing every day.
Li Jingsheng has replenished the membership cards three times already.
The clinic’s membership exceeds four thousand people, comparable to large pharmacy chains.
Moreover, he has the advantage of a high number of repeat customers.
The main reason is the attractive quality and price.
High quality, guaranteed, and a bit cheaper than big drugstores.
Even if the saving isn’t substantial, customers, after comparing, find the drugs at Sunshine Clinic affordable, even if it’s just five cents cheaper per box.
When initially setting the pricing strategy, Li Jingsheng put in a lot of effort.
Xiaogao thought they needed to be about 10% cheaper to capture the market, while Li Jingsheng believed a few cents cheaper, at most one yuan, would suffice.
Because, as a small clinic, if the prices are too low, anyone would wonder if they’re selling fake medicines.
How could it be so cheap?
Now, being a few cents cheaper makes customers feel it’s affordable without thinking they’re buying fake drugs.
The hard truth of "you get what you pay for" is well ingrained in people’s minds.
It’s precisely because Sunshine Clinic has its unique strengths and advantages in various areas that it’s becoming stronger like a dark horse.
Now sourcing from Best Medicine in Shanghai, replenishing stock approximately every two days, with each order ranging from at least 20,000 to nearly 40,000.
What does this mean?
Calculating with a 100% profit margin on health supplements, ordering 40,000 worth, you can sell at least 80,000.
Calculating this way, the clinic’s daily gross profit just from medicine sales can reach nearly 20,000 yuan.
Of course, it might actually be a bit less. The lower profit on ordinary medicines is factored in.
After deducting expenses like storefront, staff salaries and commissions, and daily clinic expenses, Li Jingsheng should take home about 15,000 yuan.
This is when things are going well.
On less good days, he can still generally profit around 12,000 yuan per day.
Being a boss, although risky and requiring significant investment, once successful, it’s like being a winner in life, counting money effortlessly.
These are legitimate and transparent earnings.
Unlike a hospital chief physician, who takes drug kickbacks surreptitiously.
After taking kickbacks for several years, being discovered can mean losing everything.
Li Jingsheng’s choice to open a clinic back then was indeed a right decision.
After seeing off the uncle, he continued to treat patients.
The uncle spotted Meng Luo passing by and immediately greeted her with a smile, "Little beauty, are you giving me the IV today?"
"Not sure, I’ll follow Sister Tang’s arrangements."
Meng Luo’s attitude towards this uncle was neither cold nor warm, just right.
She’s a smart girl and should know the motives behind men showing unsolicited affection.
This uncle seems to be well-off, but it depends on how Meng Luo perceives it.
"Is Tang the beauty your superior? Okay, I’ll go ask her."
The uncle stood up and went towards the busy Tang Ping.
