Key Takeaways:

• The next Smiles At Sea cruise is in September, then there's another in March.
• Changing someone's smile will often change their whole life.
• Focus on life-changing moments.
• Finances are the #1 impediment to enrollment. Team mindset is #2, #3 is contact rate.
• Your team can develop mindsets about certain types of people that lead to not giving 100% for every patient every time.
• Go into treatment presentation with he mindset that EVERYONE offers opportunity.
• Offer multiple financing options so the highest number of patients can accept treatment.
  • CareCredit is the go-to.
• Marketing is useless if your contact rate is low. Potential patients want information NOW.
• Consumers expect convenience for EVERYTHING.
• If you treat people with empathy they'll think you're the best dentist ever.
• Personal referrals are everything.
• Social media is for engagement. It's the modern-day word of mouth, on steroids.
• The number of reviews – and the frequency – are both important.
• Dentists should not be spending all their time doing consults.
• Offer a minimum of 2 implant options.
