Make them UNcomfortable? And, last chance…

Main Content

Today, a quick but extremely potent thought for you.
But first…
——————————

————————————

This is your LAST CHANCE to check out the Dental Success Blueprint
video, so you can learn more about my new Coaching & Mentoring
Program of the same name.  I’ve signed 2 doctors already, and
a third doctor has committed and is in, pending final arrangements.
That leaves only ONE SLOT LEFT of the four I’ve made available at
this time.  I’ve limited the slots to four because of my busy
family and work schedule.

The “DSB Program” is a 6-month, “Rapid Results” Program that is
custom designed for each participating doctor and practice.  All
the details are explained in the thorough video, which is here:

——————————————————————

Now back to the scheduled programming.

Should you make your patients UNcomfortable?  Absolutely, I say!

Before you freak out and send me hate mail about being some kind
of sadistic, mean spirited dentist, let me explain.

I’m not advocating to make your patients physically uncomfortable.
By all means, don’t hurt your patients!  Instead, I’ve been
“preaching” for years that, for the best rates of treatment
acceptance you’ve ever experienced, your patients must be
uncomfortable with their current dental conditions.  And it’s
up to you and your team to reveal those conditions to your patients.

As I said the other day, people don’t really want “dentistry”.
They want solutions to their problems.  If they don’t think they
have dental problems, they ain’t sayin’ “yes” to treatment…
period.

In other words, if they’re “comfortable” with their current
conditions, why in the world would they want to change anything?

People can’t make the best decisions for their dental health
without ALL of the relevant information…including digital photos
of their teeth, a thorough discussion of the existing problems
and the RISKS of failing to correct them, and even a story about
a patient with a similar situation who had a negative outcome
by not taking action sooner.

So, make your patients UNcomfortable by showing them in detail
what’s really going on inside their mouths.  Don’t “sugar coat”
it…tell it like it is without worry of their reaction.  It’s
the only way to maximize your chances of making them MOST
comfortable by helping them accept your solutions that will help
them achieve optimal oral health.  In fact, by not making them
“uncomfortable” enough to seek solutions, you’ll essentially
guarantee that they’ll be truly uncomfortable down the road!

Go Where They Are!

Main Content

Now, back to business…

“Go where they are!”

How would you like to do more of a specific procedure that you’re
currently doing?  Invisalign?  Veneers?  Sedation?  Implants?
With the right TARGETED marketing approach, you can.  Emphasis
on the word “targeted”.

So how do you target the right people?  All the information you
need could be right there in your office.

First step, learn as much as you can about the patients that
have already done the procedure in question.  Look for a particular
bias in demographics:

- Age (is there a dominant average age?)
- Gender (is there a significant bias?)
- Location (are many from the same part of town?)
- Income level (white collar, blue collar?)
- Education level (are they all college graduates?)
- etc etc

Now…Go Where They Are!

Once you’ve figured out any biases among those patients who are
committing to the procedures you’re interested in building, your
next step is to find out where those people are, and go there.
Your marketing message, if properly targeted, has a great chance
of finding them!

Example: A colleague recently mentioned that the average age of his
6 Month Smiles ortho patients is 21.5 years old.  Brilliant for
just knowing that!

Where do early 20-somethings hang out?  Where is it most likely
that they may see your message…and others may see it less?

Whichever media you choose, you’ll want to gravitate toward the
media that is inclined toward that age group.  For starters,
think Facebook (which allows targeted ads), or certain radio
stations that play popular music.

Using this strategy helps you refine your marketing reach toward
those most likely to respond…and limit the wasteful expense of
“shotgunning” your marketing message to an untargeted audience!

All my best,
Chris

This year I’m making myself more available for a small number of
individual dentists who want individual, targeted coaching.
Let me know what type of help you’re looking for, and then we can
discuss the possibilities of making your goals a reality!

[DIA] Tonight’s Webinar…PLUS a Challenge For You!

Main Content

I’ve got two important things for you today.  First…some info about
tonight’s webinar on Website Landing Pages with Kelly Muldoon.
Then, I want to issue a CHALLENGE to you that I guarantee will
help you with treatment acceptance from your patients.

1) Tonight’s webinar is almost completely booked!  No false “scarcity”
here…we only have 23 slots remaining.  Please don’t register if
you don’t intend to be there, so others can attend. But if you do
want to attend, jump on it now.

Kelly and I will cover the basic and advanced principles that govern
effective, successful dental website landing page design that
attracts interested patients to your practice like moths to a light.

Landing pages are specific website pages that prospective new
patients “land” on when they arrive at your site.  The best landing
pages are specific to one niche procedure or service.  Kelly will
reveal how she uses landing pages to create a new “front door” to
either a doctor’s existing website, or an entirely new website
altogether.

If you want to capture more new patients who are interested in
specific procedures and services that you offer, you don’t want
to miss this exclusive learning event!

Space is limited.
Reserve your Webinar seat now at:
https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/673379763

2) Here’s the challenge that will help you get higher treatment
acceptance ratios from your patients!  When I coach dentists and
dental teams from all over the US and Canada, I always find several
areas where they can make improvements and get significantly better
results.  But there are a few BIG problems that, once corrected,
can send acceptance numbers through the roof!

Here’s one, and it’s also my challenge to you:

NO “Dentalese”!  To patients it’s a foreign language, and it should
not be used with patients unless they have a dental background.
Oneof the leading reasons people don’t “buy” is because they are
confused.  ”Dentalese” confuses patients…you might as well be
speaking French to them.  Then when you try to translate it, you’re
already in an uphill battle.  Soooooo…

For the next full business day, you and your team are not allowed
to use any “Dentalese” with patients, or with each other.  Work
together to communicate with patients ONLY in layman’s terms, as
if they would describe dentistry to their friends.

Then, the next business day, do the same thing!  And the next,
and the next…

You’ll find that when you STICK to this principle, your patients
won’t be as confused, and more of them will say “YES”.  Funny how
that happens.

Now there are likely more things going on that can thwart acceptance
of treatment recommendations than just your use of Dentalese.  But
if you’ll dedicate yourself and your team to this principle, you’ll
definitely see results…bottom line results!

The BEST “Referral Generator” EVER…check it out

Main Content

How would you like to learn about a system that I firmly believe
is the BEST “Referral Generator” EVER?  You can, right now.

Better yet, you can be using this very system in your own
practice within 48 hours…seriously.

I’m not going to write about it here, though.  It’s too important
for a “text only” email.  Instead, I’m going to give you immediate
access to a complete webinar interview that I hosted a while
back.  The content in this webinar will BLOW YOU AWAY!

My guest in the webinar was David Frey, who is known in the
entrepreneurial world as one the best experts on referral
marketing.  I’ve known David for a couple of years now, and
he always OVER-delivers usable content when he speaks.  No
exception here!

David revealed so many referral strategies and tips in this
webinar that you need to drop what you’re doing and just go
watch it now.  Here’s the link:

www.DentalInsiders.com/referralwebinar/yes

(Copy/paste the link in your internet address bar if you need to)

If you can’t watch it right this minute, be sure to forward this
email to yourself with the Subject: WATCH THIS NOW!  Then watch it
as soon as you can.  Forward it to your “dentist friends” too
while you’re at it…they’ll thank you for it!

Be sure to watch the webinar all the way through to the end.
David explains why early in the recording.

Enjoy, and let me know if you should have any questions.

All my best,
Chris

PS: Once you start implementing the strategies David reveals
in this webinar, your practice won’t be the same again.  The
sky’s the limit!
