Yes, Zaki runs ads and uses AI, but the unsexy stuff is what’s really compounding.
Keep detailed notes on personal details (kids, hobbies, milestones) so follow-ups feel human, not automated
Encourage his therapists to stay top-of-mind as “the PT next door,” not some distant medical provider
“How was your son’s hockey tournament?” “Did you and your spouse get to go out for your anniversary?”
On top of that, his team uses simple, scalable outreach like Instagram DMs to connect with followers who already raised their hand by clicking “Follow.”
“Hey, thanks for the follow! Are you here just for the content, or are you dealing with something specific right now?”
