First 30 Days In Business as NEMT Business Owners

[@AdamShiffman]

From a Broker's perspective, you're giving very good advise. Do your research, treat people well, don't sole source your clients (brokers and private pays). Nice job

[@ceecee7693]

Yassss black women!!! Love this, thank you for sharing, this is so inspirational😊

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

🙌🏾 Glad to be an inspiration 💫

[@shalondacoleman5082]

This was really good ladies. I am a NENT owner/operator in Florida. I’ve been in business for 1 year and 3 months now. I started out with brokers and the beginning was great to me but of course I didn’t know anything and when I did find out I could raise my prices with them that’s when things slowed down. Now they spoon feed me and I’m not happy BUT, I am focusing on getting more private pay clients and being able to only deal with brokers because I want to and not have to. So thank you ladies for always sharing and keep up the great work! Coleman Transportation

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

I often hear the NEMT market in Florida is saturated. What is your take on this? What part of Florida do you operate in? We are glad to hear that you are shifting your focus now in trying to move away from the broker model. The key is to stay consistent in your marketing efforts and evaluate your pricing to make sure you aren’t under cutting yourself.

[@shalondacoleman5082]

Yes, it is saturated. Im in the Palm Beach County area. I have not been able to really find out what others are charging here. I tried doing the calls you ladies shared in another video and the people were not so forth coming with the information 😂. Thank you for all you do and I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Be Blessed ladies 😊

Hi jasmine and Monica, I am operating in Northern California and am dealing with brokers right now. Would you say that your business picked up significantly more when you signed up with medical because I am leaning towards doing that?

[@Mjbusinessacademy]

No, not necessarily. However, It is required to be contracted with the state when you are working with medical brokers. Being contracted with the state will help you maintain those contracts you have in place with the brokers. Also, you are able to bill Medi-Cal directly if you partner with the state.
