The Dental Marketer

Voices of Dentistry was UH - MAY - ZING! Along with that, I am bringing you some impressive and remarkable content from some of the best dentists out there and some of the most innovative and creative minds! I am so excited to introduce to you a friend of mine who has a practice in Brooklyn, New York. He is also a fellow podcaster, the host of The Better Dentistry Podcast, Dr. Stimmler!

Listen as we dive deep into his practice. We talk about what he is currently producing in his practice (yeap, he lets us know how much his current production and collection is), what is his best ROI, what he is currently doing for marketing, shares with us his biggest fails and struggles to date, and tells us all about his past, present and future!

Episode 95 is in the books (almost to 100)! In this episode I have my wonderful guest Dr. Chris Bowman really break down for us how to increase your production and collection. One easy way I can tell you right now, that he mentions to me is to truly focus on what you are passionate about when it comes to your work and dentistry. Don't do the stuff that "just makes money" because eventually you'll end up digging yourself in a hole.

We also discuss the importance of literally giving every single patient the chance to reject your best work or accept it. I always say you should never assume when I am teaching Ground Marketing, the same should be said when it comes to case presentation. Just because the patient may seem like they can't afford it, you still need to give them the chance to say it! Why would you deprive yourself from possibly making more on something you absolutely you enjoy doing?!?

We also dive into a little history in Dr. Bowman's life, how he started his practice, why after so many years .... he has just now decided to change the name of his practice, and also how he met Michael Jordan! I am so excited for you to listen to this episode and I recommend you have your front office (especially the treatment coordinator) listen to this episode. Enjoy!

Hey TDM Family! Let's get into this episode by introducing my extraordinary guest: Laura Hatch from Front Office Rocks! Laura JUST released her book: Step Away From The Drill. Guys, if you want to really upgrade your dental practice then you better have your team listen to this episode and YOU need to buy this book!

We discuss how to get our patients to accept treatment. It's more than just asking them or expecting them to accept it because you are a dentist... there is a strategy to this! We also discuss what the most important piece of equipment in your office is and WHY you absolutely need someone HEAVILY trained to operate this piece of equipment! Your business depends on it!

We also jump into a time machine and discuss how Front Office Rocks came to be! Also, what Lunch with Laura was! (by the way feel free to go ask her to preview the video Lunch with Laura... I'm sure she will get a kick out of it).We discuss scripts and how to perform in the front office and how much should you invest in your team members/ employee. I know a lot of times we fear if we invest too much into our staff and they leave.... then what!? Well, Laura takes away that problem in this episode! So tune in and reach out to her!

Pssssst, PLEASE drop a review on iTunes if you appreciate the podcast and love what you are listening to AND don't forget.... tell ONE (just one friend) about the podcast today! You're the best audience anyone can have (:

Hey TDM community, I truly hope you're off to a good start this week. In episode 93 I talk with the wonderful: Angie Stone. Talking to Angie is like talk to a positive energy that only wants to uplift you! It was sensational! We start off discussing how she became a hygienist.... but... something changed. This change led to a series of events that really impacted her life and caused her to create her business which is Hy-Life.

We discuss the importance of treating your team right. Employees, all employees, want to feel appreciated and they also want to feel like they are growing in their field. Make that happen, don't just talk to them when your employees screw up! Understand and expect that they will screw up but don't keep pointing it out, no one likes that! Instead help them find the lesson in their mistakes, be a teacher to your employees, not someone who they dread to go to work with!

We also dive into a topic that Angie is extremely passionate about which is, our elders. Be honest and ask yourself, what do I do with my older patients, the ones who have come to visit me for years BUT now they are in retirement homes/ senior homes and can't make the drive to me anymore... what do I do with these patients? Do I just forget about them? Give up on them? Well these elders need you! It's elders who have the most dental disease in the population! What are we doing to get these patients to you? Tune in to find out!

Hey TDM Fam! SO in this episode I am using a different format, so let me know how you like it! It is shorter (as you can see) but it's me mainly extracting the meat and potatoes of the interview. I had the privilege of having the brilliant Sue B Zimmerman on the podcast. She is not in the dental field BUT she is in the Social Media field. She has spoken at tons of conventions and expos on social media, specifically.... Instagram.

Sue is a leader in her industry and has mastered Instagram and all it's components. I like this episode because Sue not only tells us what to post, how to post, when, and what not to do... but we also get the perspective of someone who is not in the dental field. You know who else isn't in the dental field... your new potential patients! SO listen up and hear what she would like to see more of and definitely less of!

Also, let me know on Instagram or in the iTunes reviews how you liked this new format and if you like this interview. If you enjoy it then I can definitely interview more leaders in their industry who are not so much in the dental field but more in their own field. You can extract their knowledge and valuable information and apply it to your business/ dental practice! Or we can talk about how a dentist can apply it in their dental practice as well.

You are now tuning into one of the best podcast out there! The Dental Marketer Podcast! Thank you so much for listening to episode 91! In this episode I interview our amazing guest: Dr. Kenny Wilstead. Now, Dr. Wilstead has a remarkable story that he shares with us. He didn't just graduate from dental school, worked, and started his practice.... nope, he basically graduated, became partner, and then ... basically hit rock bottom! But how?! (you may be asking) well listen up because he tells us how disaster struck really early in his career. But also take note of how he handled it.

We also talk about how he was able to be seen... basically all over the world! I mean if the people on the moon have a TV then they probably heard of Dr. Wilstead as well. I will link just 2 of his viral videos. He has mastered the way in knowing how to make your dental work go viral... and guess what... he tells us exactly how to do it!

We also go into a deeper discussion of what his favorite dental instrument is, what he hates about dentistry, what he loves about dentistry, how to handle a bad reputation and create a good reputation, and so much more!

So sit back, grab your coffee, and listen up to episode 91!

We are at episode 90 of The Dental Marketer Podcast! In this episode we discuss nothing but about the best online scheduling system out there... LocalMed! And who better to interview than the founder of Local Med: Keith English! This guy has literally created something definitely worth sharing and talking about!

In this episode we discuss many things, scheduling related, business related, and life lessons we can learn from him. A couple key things I loved that I took away from this episode was that Keith one exactly what he wanted... even if it has never been done before or wasn't even created, he still knew exactly what he wanted. Which leads me to my second point: patience. Boy o'boy was Keith patient when it came to creating LocalMed. He funded the whole thing himself so you can easily understand how you would be in such a hurry to make some sort of ROI on this product but, listen to how he handled the whole situation.

Another thing we mention is the importance of patients being able to schedule NOW! Not in 5 minutes, or not even having to have then schedule, then call, or text to confirm, or adding an extra step. Patients want easy, simple, and fast. And Keith gives us the stats to understand why.
