Question
I am Ziba, the founder of A-Medical, a health and wellness company partnering with leading Swiss rehabs such as Neoviva, Les Alpes, and other premium centers. I am looking to establish referral partnerships with addiction recovery coaches, counselors, and relevant experts globally.
I aim to create a mutually beneficial collaboration where professionals can earn commissions for referring patients to our world-class rehab centers. I’d love advice on identifying the right partners, structuring partnerships, and managing a referral program effectively.
Open to scheduling a call for further discussion.
Answer
Hi Ziba,
I recommend:
1. Choosing some initial target countries. I would recommend for sure looking at the Gulf which has taboos around substance use and might appreciate the discretion of sending those dealing with addiction abroad for treatment
2. Conducting a 'stakeholder mapping exercise' where you do some desktop research to build a lost of organizations that support the patient profiles Swiss rehabs support
3. Reaching out to those organizations to capture insights on current services, gaps in their rehabilitation services, and opportunities for referrals and collaboration
4. Piloting a partnership
The other route to look at is global professional associations where your targets gather.
I hope this helps. Book a session with me if you'd like to do a deeper dive on these recommendations
