How does staff and client behaviour affect the growth and success of your business? Inspiring staff to work better and getting patients to avail your services often stems from their behaviour. In Episode 164 of the Savvy Dentist Podcast, I’ve invited Penny Burke, Director of Essence Communications, to share the psychology behind these behaviours and how we can implement effective strategies that encourage commitment from both employees and clients. Penny has had over 20 years off experience in the field of marketing and advertising and is also the author of “Forced Focus.”

In this episode we discuss:

  • 01:40: Penny’s backstory and how she found her way into the space of behaviour change.
  • 06:29: The meaning of behaviour change and its importance as part of the toolkit for business owners.
  • 09:23: The successful elements that precede behaviour change.
  • 12:06: Does behaviour change come from crafting a logical “why?” or an emotional “why?”
  • 14:33: The source of the lack of engagement from staff.
  • 15:43: The psychology behind pricing and services and the behavioural elements behind those choices. Why people choose discount offerings versus premium offerings and vice versa.
