I know this may sound like hyperbole but it is true: I have been really working to make sure that the good folks who order our telephone consultations can get serious value out of it.  That is why I am introducing a free video conference option. It allows you to see data and maps.  And we are now accepting data from YOUR sources to make sure your research value is great.  And don't forget the BOOK!

Over my years as a dental demographer, I have seen MANY such practices.  And there is a reason so many fail or never really reach to their best potential.  This episode will discuss some of the specific of why and how to avoid these pitfalls.

I created this episode to illustrate WHY some locations (including states or just parts of states) are doing well and will serve well for practice purchases or start-ups.  In this case, we will discuss how being on a state border will impact your location choices.

As part of my series on site selection for dental specialists, I have created this episode for periodontists.  Granted, there are not a huge number of them but the things that make for a good site are fairly unique.

This is a session devoted to identifying the factors that will make a good endodontic practice.  And, yes, I do get specific on the thorny issue of determining whether there is room for one more. We offer reports on analyzing specific sites but I thought getting an idea of the real numbers might be useful.

I am not trying to be critical of other demographic companies the help dental professionals but their methodology is naive and wrong.  This session is all about how to find the best place to put an OMS practice. I will deal with other specialities in the future.

So many young dentists have the idea that if they could only know how old dentists were in an area, it might give them an important clue to how likely an area would be to have room for one more.  Sure.  This episode deals with this issue and other worthwhile facts about dentists and their careers.

The differences among the various states and municipalities is increasing more than ever before.  Forget natural disasters, the policy disasters are making practice viability much harder.  Good policies are having the opposite effect.  And people are acting in response rather dramatically.

Over the years, I have posted episodes on how to tell if an area is saturated or if it has potential.  I have put all of the guidelines in a single episode.  Here it is.

There seems to be a great deal of confusion out there about the difference between Market Segmentation and Market Differentiation.  Unfortunately, most dental consultants in the profession don't know what either term means, let alone the differences between them.  This episode explains it all.
