Anyone familiar with the non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) industry realizes two things: it’s a critical part of the healthcare industry and is growing rapidly.
The need for low-income individuals or patients with disabilities to find reliable transportation to and from their medical appointments is expanding, creating more opportunities for new businesses.
Unfortunately, starting a new NEMT business and growing an existing one can be challenging, with few support systems to help those who want to do so.
That’s why we created the Tobi NEMT Growth Network.
Similar to a mastermind group, the Tobi NEMT Growth Network is a collection of like-minded people who meet once a month to share insights, solve problems, and support each other’s growth.
Each group consists of non-competing NEMT owners with businesses similar in size to yours. These groups allow you to brainstorm and exchange innovative ideas to grow your NEMT business, discover new strategies to streamline your operations, and increase efficiency, all at no cost to you.
Sound intriguing?
Let’s look at the benefits you’ll experience from joining the Tobi NEMT Growth Network and what you can expect.
A Supportive Community
The process can feel isolating for anyone starting or trying to grow a business—as if you’re trying to fight an uphill battle alone. In a niche industry like NEMT, it can sometimes seem even more daunting.
One of the most beneficial aspects of the Tobi NEMT Growth Network is the opportunity to join a group of people experiencing the same challenges and struggles as you. Coming together with a group of supportive individuals who understand the daily grind helps you realize that you’re not alone, lifting that burden of isolation.
As each person opens themselves up to the group, it creates an environment where everyone feels welcome to share their challenges, triumphs, experiences, and insights—benefitting other members.
Joining a group like this provides networking opportunities you can’t find anywhere else.
Access to Knowledge and Experience
Every group comprises industry professionals from different states, backgrounds, experiences, and more.
Every person in your meeting will have something to share that you might not have learned otherwise. Imagine each gathering as a market, where individuals trade their knowledge and experiences for the insights and lessons of others.
Whether from successes or failures, each member has a story they can share to help show the others what has worked for them—or what pitfalls to avoid.
In addition to their own experiences, each person brings lessons they’ve learned from others in the industry or through webinars, conferences, and more. Their knowledge becomes yours, and vice versa.
Every meeting provides industry insights, best practices, and innovative strategies to help fuel your business’s success.
Help for the Journey Ahead
Running your own NEMT business is no easy task, and the road to success is full of bumps, dead ends, and detours.
That’s why having a supportive network in your corner is so important. They motivate you to keep going and help you get where you want to be. When it comes to achieving your business goals, having a trusted group to hold you accountable is valuable.
During each meeting, members share their challenges and devise practical solutions to achieve their goals over the next month. By telling the group what they plan to implement, every person can encourage them along the way, but they’ll also have to explain why they didn’t follow through with their plans if they don’t do what they agreed to.
In his book Principle-Centered Leadership, Stephen Covey wrote, “Accountability breeds response-ability.” Choosing to let others keep you honest about your efforts is taking responsibility for your growth and motivating you to accomplish the essential tasks and goals necessary for success.
Professional and Personal Development
The Tobi NEMT Growth Network provides a platform for personal and professional development.
Engaging with like-minded peers can help NEMT owners develop a growth mindset and enhance their skills. These groups are a great place to hone leadership abilities, refine strategic thinking, and promote innovation within their businesses.
By collaborating with the group and sharing knowledge, NEMT owners can learn new ideas, ranging from operational efficiency to customer relationship management, that will help them navigate the challenges of the NEMT industry.
These groups jump-start personal growth, cultivating resilience, adaptability, and emotional intelligence within their members. Through peer-to-peer mentoring and constructive feedback sessions, NEMT owners can identify areas for personal development and leverage the group’s collective wisdom to overcome challenges and discover new opportunities.
Ultimately, participating empowers NEMT owners to excel as business leaders and individuals, driving sustainable growth and innovation in the NEMT industry.
What to Expect
So, what can you look forward to as a Tobi NEMT Growth Network member?
First, you’ll be placed in a group of roughly 10 to 20 non-competing NEMT owners from across the country who have a similar-sized business as yours.
Each month, you’ll meet via Zoom to discuss your business, what’s working and what isn’t, and develop new ideas for growth and success. A trained moderator will lead every group. They aim to ensure everyone feels welcome and that each voice is heard.
Between each meeting, you’ll be able to connect with individual members or the entire group through a specially assigned platform, allowing everyone to share updates, ask questions, and more.
Taking the Next Step
Joining the Tobi NEMT Growth Network is an exciting new experience that you won’t be able to find anywhere else.
You’ll have access to a supportive community where you can learn and share experiences and knowledge from NEMT owners to whom you can easily relate. The group will help you set and achieve your goals through accountability and encouragement while allowing you to grow personally and professionally.
Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to grow your NEMT business and be part of a community unlike any other.
