The basic rule of all dental marketing is to start with the patients you have and ask them to refer other patients just like themselves. However, this only works if:

1. You want more patients like the ones you have. Do you want the wicked witch of the east to send all her sisters, the wicked witches of the north, west and south to your dental practice? Remember, birds of a feather flock together…

2. You have the type of personality — warm, caring and extroverted — that makes it easy to ask for referrals. Got you on the last one, “extroverted”, didn’t I? Most dentists ARE warm and caring, but only a small fraction are extroverted enough to easily ask patients for referrals.

That’s why we developed our 4-Phase Internal Dental Marketing & Communications Program. It’s designed to add up to 10 additional new patients a month to your practice… and many doctors do much better than that!

Dental Signs Tutorial

Dental Signage Classic

We have been helping doctors design and position their dental practice signs for over fifteen years.

The issues are much more complex than just what to say on your dental office sign. You have to take into consideration the position of the signs relative to the building and the flow of traffic. And, of course, observe the all-important signage zoning codes.

The economics of good dental signage are too important to just wing it. A well-deigned set of signs can easily put $1,000,000 extra into your pension fund for retirement.

To tell the truth, I’ve given this dental sign lecture at least 200 times, and I’m getting tired of repeating myself – probably along the lines of how you feel about telling patients to floss and brush.

So I decided to put the whole program online as a video training program with slides and a bunch of extras. I’ll even walk you through my “Stealth Signage” program on how to get high visibility in areas where signage is restricted!

The nice thing is that I’ve totally updated the presentation with a whole new batch of examples (both good and bad!) of dental office signs. I even talk about site selection for a new dental office facility based on drive-by traffic flow.

Click here to get your copy now

    The video tutorial is about thirty minutes long and includes all of the following:

  • How to generate from 10 to 30 additional new patients a month with a well-positioned set of dental signs!
  • The economics of dental signage and how to add $1,000,000 or more to your bottom line over the life of your office sign.
  • How to pay for the cost of your new facility with new patients from properly positioned dental signs –Tip: don’t contract for a new facility until you’ve heard this!
  • Learn how to position a “Monument” vs. a “Pole” dental sign and which is best.
  • Learn exactly how big, how bright and how tasteful your sign should be.
  • Learn the four dental sign elements you MUST have, and the the two that are optional – and how to position them and prioritize them.
  • Learn how to negotiate with the local signage companies – Tip: they are virtually all thieves!
  • How to use your dental office sign to “Preheat” your new patients for higher case acceptance.
  • When, and more importantly, when not to, put your office logo on your dental signs.
  • Learn the secret of how to protect your signage against graffiti artists and vandals.
  • Learn how to update “Tired” signs for next to no money.
  • How to double your new patients when you have walk-by traffic.
  • How to turn your office windows into landmark entertainment centers promoting your dentistry.
  • Learn why spending $40,000-plus on signage might just be the best dental marketing investment you ever made.

Front Desk Marketing dentist tutorial

Turn Your Front Desk into an Outrageous Marketing Machine

Improving your front desk marketing skills is one of the most effective ways to increase your profitability, and it’s a strategy that costs nothing to implement.

This tutorial includes three separate lessons: “Creating a Front Desk Marketing Machine,” “New Patient Phone Scripts and Examples,” and “Organizing Your Team for Maximum Profitability.”

This two-part dental marketing lesson reveals how you can turn your marketing from a profit-draining expense into a profit producing system. This is good stuff. Really, really cool, put-to-use-right-now good stuff. You know what they say about “low-hanging fruit”? Well, the same goes for your patients.

This online lesson includes Three Strategy Video Tutorials that walk you through the ins and outs of converting high-value new patient leads into dental appointments. This is one of the core internal marketing strategies that we offer. Once in place, it has the potential to DOUBLE the number of new patients in your chair. And here’s why…

Did you know that up to 50% of all new patients are lost at the front desk because of POOR CALL HANDLING?

Over the years I have routinely seen doctors spend tens of thousands of dollars on some of the best and most sophisticated marketing strategies only to see their ROI (Return on investment) wasted by poorly-trained, poorly-organized and poorly-equipped front desk teams.

Getting that high-value new patient lead is just half the battle. Converting that patient to an appointment is the other half.

Dental front desk marketing video tutorialFront Desk Marketing Part 1: Creating a Front Desk Marketing Machine focuses on how patients are often won or lost at the front desk, highlighting the importance of that initial phone call. You and your team can analyze your phone answering techniques. This lesson includes sample recordings of both the good and the truly ugly side of new patient call handling.

Front Desk Marketing Part 2: New Patient Phone Scripts and Examples gives you and your team step-by-step scripts for answering the phone, training examples and tools to improve front desk communications. This lesson supplies you with the actual verbiage you can use to answer new patient calls and questions.

Front Desk Marketing Part 3: Organizing Your Team for Maximum Profitability explains that the key to this internal marketing strategy is following through with your team, and organizing the team in a way that encourages maximum profitability. This lesson actually lays out job descriptions for each front desk person and a sample reception area diagram.

Chart Audits: a dental marketing tutorial

The $10,000 a Month System for Dental Chart Audits

This comprehensive program includes two video lessons and complete forms for conducting chart audits.

There’s money in your files… if only you know to extract it. This is especially true if you’re what’s known as a “File Cabinet Millionaire.”

In this 2-part online video tutorial, we review who should perform the chart audit (hint: it’s you, the doctor!), how to categorize patients, and how your scheduling coordinator should follow up.

You really can net $10,000 a month from chart audits alone! This lesson will tell you all you need to know.

This is one of the core modules we’ve used with management marketing for over 15 years, and it always works. It always returns your $10,000 a month in production.Dental practice chart audits

First of all, have you ever heard of the term “file cabinet millionaires?” These are the guys who have a million dollars plus in production sitting in their file cabinets.

It’s an amazing statistic. But you’ve got money sitting in your files. And the video tutorial is going to show you how you how to get that money out of those files and into your pocket.

There are three economic reasons to use a detailed chart audit:

  1. The first one is to generate additional production to meet your goals. This is pretty straightforward.
  2. The second, is to determine the potential value of charts if you’re evaluating a practice for purchase. So if you’re going to go in and buy a practice you want to do a random chart audit on it to make sure to see what, to calculate the value of the practice.
  3. The next thing you use it for is to evaluate the diagnostic and case presentation skills of an associate. Hopefully you DO this before you hire the associate.

Setting Dental Fees

Setting Dental Fees for Maximum Case Acceptance

This comprehensive program is an advanced dental marketing & profit strategy for determining your dental practice fees.

While annual fee increases are an important part of dental management, lots of dentists overlook raising dental fees – sometimes for years! If your practice hasn’t raised its fees in the past 6-12 months, then you’re not as profitable as you could be!

A successful dental practice absolutely must raise fees regularly.

Half of dentists don’t raise their dental fees annually!Setting Dental Fees

Quality treatment must be supported by fees that allow you to maintain your team, facilities and continuing education at the highest levels of which you are capable.

The math is simple: When your costs increase due to inflation, you must raise fees to stay profitable!

But many dentists don’t keep track, or don’t know what the right dental fees would be, or are concerned that higher fees could drive away dental patients.

This tutorial answers these questions and concerns, addressing these issues:

  • What should your fees be compared to other dentists in your area? {Hint: if you provide above-average care, it’s appropriate that your fees also be above average!)
  • How should you institute dental fee increases?
  • How do you and your team address the issue of fees with your dental patients?

Jim Du MolinHi, I’m Jim Du Molin, the owner of The Wealthy Dentist. I’ve been helping doctors with associates for nearly twenty years.

I’ve put together all I know about structuring associate agreements into this tutorial. It includes 2 strategy video tutorials that walk you through designing an associate strategy and securing your own personal financial security. You also get my Associate Profitability & Compensation Analysis Software Associate Analysis Video Tutorial - Part 2and 2 software video tutorials on how to use it. And there’s a sample associate agreement, a 14-page legal agreement outline, plus 5 free bonuses.

Before deciding to take on an associate in your practice, you need to take into consideration several key issues:

1. There are some problems with associates.Associate Analysis Video Tutorial - Part 1

  • Associates will never make enough money in their own minds. You can never pay them enough. So as you put together your associate strategy, set up a compensation structure in the associate agreement that works well for the associate, works well for you, and is fair. We will show you step-by-step how to do this.
  • They may tell you they want to buy into your practice, but until the money’s in the bank … don’t believe it. You may think you know them, but we show that this is a classic example of actions speaking louder than words.
  • After a few years, some associates think they own the practice. There’s this concept of sweat equity … they’ve worked with you for 5 years, 6 years, 10 years … they think they’ve already bought into the practice with their efforts. We’ll give you some good examples of this.

2. There are some problems with selling a practice.

  • If you are selling to a family member, be especially careful. You want to make sure that you have in place the agreement framework that we will lay out for you. Everything should be documented, because money among family members can bring up many issues, so you want to make sure that the agreement is done correctly.
  • If you have a choice … take the cash and run. If you are selling your practice and someone offers you cash, it may not be all you want, but it’s easier to take $50,000 – $100,000 less and get it in cash than it is to get a note back.
  • If you produce more than $750,000 … you have a problem. Most valuations of a practice are estimated based on the last 12 months of production. If you assume an Estimated Value Ratio of 55% and the bank requires, say, a 30% Down Payment … where is the associate going to get a $123,750 down payment to buy your practice? Most of them are not going to have that amount of money.

3. When does an associate really make sense?

  • You have more patients than you can service.
  • You have excess treatment rooms and/or operatory days.
  • You are looking to convert your practice to cash for financial independence.
  • To make an associate successful, you’re going to need at least 2 out of these 3 issues covered.

4. What are the goals of the associate relationship?

  • Is this person a future partner, or this person someone you are going to hire and use to do dentistry?
  • It has to be profitable to the senior doctor.
  • It has to be profitable to the associate so he/she can buy the practice.
We have developed a 2-Part Comprehensive Associate Analysis Program. It’s designed to introduce you to the issues that you need to take into consideration before you begin the associate search and process.

For over 15 years we have put together associate agreements… and we’ve learned a few things about this process. This is probably one of the greatest programs we have ever developed as part of The Wealthy Dentist, and it probably has one of the best sets of basic concepts for bringing in an associate, combined with some unbelievably great advanced strategies!

What you get with your 2-Part Comprehensive Associate Analysis Program:Associate Agreememt

  • How to structure a Win-Win Associate Compensation Agreement. It has to work for both you and the associate. I do favor the senior doctor in this relationship, because you’re taking on all the risk. You also get a Legal Agreement Outline, which is a 14 page, step-by-step outline in MS Word that you can take to your attorney, who will then adapt it to your specific situation and home state. This is worth at least $5,000 fees and research.
  • How to protect the associate and the senior doctor. Associate AnalysisAssociates always feel that they are being exploited … that will never go away. However, the senior doctor is the one who has made it possible for the associate to even come in. You have to protect both sides, and we’ll show you how to do that. You get the Associate Profitability & Compensation Software to help you understand your associate profitability, and help you analyze your compensation issues. This tool will give you insights to the economics of the relationship, and will help you negotiate a good relationship between you and your associate.
  • Practice valuation strategies. If the associate is going to eventually become a partner, how do you value the practice? Do you value it on the day the associate walks in, a year down the line after he/she has been contributing, or 3 years down the line? More deals have fallen apart over valuation strategies than anything else. We’ll give you inside tips on how to look at this.
  • Strategy for the senior doctor who wants to continue to work. You’ve sold the practice or a piece of the practice, and you want to continue to work. What kind of strategy can you structure to make sure that you get to continue doing dentistry in your practice while the associate takes more and more responsibility and becomes the managing partner and owner?

Your Professional Biography

Your Professional Biography

Do you have your professional biography in your waiting room to help your patients get to know you better?

It’s something that’s often overlooked, but can really help patients connect and feel comfortable with you. Writing your own bio is no easy task, but we’ll guide you through it.

This is brief (three or four short paragraphs), professional (focusing on schooling, honors, association and group memberships; service on boards and committees; speeches and publications), and personal (translating everything into patient-oriented benefits).

I recommend a one-page document, either in color or black and white, that includes your photo.Professional Biography

You can lay it out yourself in a word processor program, or have a professional do it for you. You can print it up yourself, or have a print store do it.

I advise you not to talk a lot about dentistry in your bio, but you should include recent professional activities and their significance to your reader.

If you find yourself resisting this personal promotion, remember that every year you take hundreds of hours of accredited CE courses, attend lectures, seminars, professional association and group meetings, participate in study groups, even serve on committees and task forces. All to improve your skills, increase your knowledge, and better serve your patients. So don’t be shy about publicizing your efforts! Just do it in ways that are meaningful to your reader.

Let me tell you about some of the results I’ve seen. When Dr. S shared his professional bio, these were some of the comments from patients:

  • “I didn’t know it took so much training to become a dentist.”
  • “Flying down to Mexico on weekends to do dentistry in a poor community is pretty impressive.”
  • “I didn’t know Dr. S was that smart!”

Take a look at your own background. With a few colorful words and professional presentation, you too can be thought of as THE well-qualified dentist in your area.

And a good bio can lead to more referrals and better retention.
