Patient Attraction Episode 1218

– I’m Colin Receveur, founder and CEO of SmartBox.

– Thanks for watching the Patient Attraction Podcast.

– It’s a given that the level of dental competition varies by market.

– Some practices have 1 main competitor while others may have several, or 10.

– Different practices might enjoy unique advantages, such as location or length of time in the community.

– In a complicated market, trying to overcome other competitors’ advantages is a hard thing to accomplish.

– And going head-to-head against the competition can be very hard on your advertising budget.

– A dominant market position requires a lot of maintenance, so if you’re going to try that approach, you’d better have very deep pockets.

– It’s almost always a mistake for dentists to try to fight their competition where the other practices are strong.

– It’s a waste of time and money that could be used in better ways.

– There’s a way to neutralize an opponent’s marketing strength that basically costs you nothing.

– That’s because it’s a natural by-product of a different approach to attracting patients.

– With an opponent’s strength neutralized, you’re free to move your practice into the success position.

– The success position for a dentist is to become the only logical choice to solve prospects’ dental problems.

– Does that sound like marketing mumbo jumbo?

– It’s not.

– It’s part of a proven approach to attracting more and better dental patients.

– And that approach is SmartBox’s industry-leading Patient Attraction System®.

– You don’t have to take my word for it.

– Here’s what Dr. Raleigh Pioch of Salem, Oregon, has to say.

– He wrote, “The level of competition we have is astronomical.

– “The odds are against us, so I just need you to put everything in my favor.”

– So, did the Patient Attraction System® work for Dr. Pioch?

– In his own words, here’s what happened.

– “I’m living proof that Colin’s strategies WORK.

– “They work so well that they helped me take my practice from $800,000 to $3.2 million in just 6 years.

– “We couldn’t stop the growth.

– “It’s hard not to feel like you’re in the middle of a new patient ‘gold rush.’

– “But I guess that’s exactly what it is!”

– I should note that Dr. Pioch sold his practice for a handsome amount and opened another.

– SmartBox took Dr. Pioch to the dominant position in his market, but we didn’t do it through quick-hit, price-driven advertising.

– We didn’t fight his competition where they were strong.

– We used his website, social media, blog, drip marketing, offline marketing, and much more to position him as the preferred dentist for his market.

– That’s the success position, and he owned it.

– The results speak for themselves.

– SmartBox works with more than 550 dentists on 3 continents.
