50 minutes

In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green discusses marketing, with Nina Christian.

Nina Christian is the author of Marketing Me. Nina is an expert when it comes to personal branding and she's an expert at helping businesses achieve scale through personal branding.

If you plan to scale up your practice, you need to be able to work with and through other people. And having your patients trust your team by having those team members have a great reputation in the marketplace is critically important.

It's about having a cohesive strategy that allows everyone to elevate their profile in the marketplace and to be able to support one another in that process, and ultimately give the principle of the practice the opportunity to step back from the day to day operations, step back from the clinical work, trusting that your people on hand are great and they're respected in the marketplace.

Nina has a knack for simplifying the complex, turning time-sucking activities into easy-to-follow systems and processes that make a lot of sense and get outcomes fast.
