As an NP in private practice, youre balancing patient care with operating a business. Unfortunately, the two dont always align. All business owners are looking for ways to increase income and boost the bottom line. Upselling and cross-selling are widely used practices to do just that; they increase the value of a sale or service. While retail and other industries have some restrictions on how they can sell to consumers, healthcare is far more regulated and restrictive.
