Th http://advice-and.info/Business/92027__New_Dental_Marketing_Ideas_Creating_A_Gameplan_And_Using_The_Internet.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 06:59:58 GMT Lately, I've been receiving this question, stating somewhat of a choice: What would be better? Should I go for Internet (or On-line) Dental Marketing, or Off-line Dental Marketing? Well, my answer to this question is both andor neither. It would be up to you if you would choose either Internet or off-line dental marketing. Both kinds of dental marketing have their own advantages. In this article I would discuss to you the benefits of such dental marketing strategies. For InternetOn-line Dental Marketing : As my prediction for the next three years, there would be a big possibility that the patients would go for on-line dental marketing, where these patients will try to reach their dentists through the Internet. We can estimate that to around 80 of the patients reaching and even finding their dentists through the World Wide Web. Just think about it. If you throw a question to, let's say, around one hundred people, asking them where they would get their directions, research information and choose ne w service provider, roughly around eighty to ninety of them would say I just had to google it. You see, going on-line would spare them the time going from one location to another. Let's say, for example, if a person would like to see the latest version of a certain cellphone (like Nokia, or Motorola, or whatever). Wouldn't it be much easier for himher to just go and check it out in the Internet in the comfort of hisher own home, rather than go to his local shop a few miles away? This would save himher time and energy, don't you agree? This is just like in the field of Internet or On-line marketing. It's much easier for patients to reach their respective dentists on the Internet. Going on-line would save them the time and energy that they would need to go from their home to their dentist's office. Reaching their dentist is just within the click of a button! For Off-line Dental Marketing : Like on-line dental marketing, off-line dental marketing has its advantages as well.

Well, the important factor to be successful in the internal dental marketing business is SPEED!

You want to have more and more money, then you need to do the activities necessary that enables you to have more of it faster. As you can see, this sounds too simple, doesn't it? The reason is because it is! THE PROCESS.... To make good money in internal dental marketing, you have to have the process of creation. It's simple: 1) Idea First off is for you to have an idea on how you would go for your goal. 2) Knowledge Then the next thing you do is for you to acquire the knowledge required to exec ute your idea. 3) Resources You then get the resources ( people, etc.) needed to do it for you...or help you implement it. 4) Fire! - Then move quickly... and fire, fire, fire! 5) Feedback Get the feedbacks from the results that you have achieved.

TAKE FAST ACTION! Therefore, in internal dental marketing, the person who moves faster becomes 10 times more successful, as heshe is 10 times wiser. Always remember that wisdom is created through experiential knowledge, and not book knowledge. A person who is a Harvard Grad might be brilliant.... but is not necessarily WISE! http://advice-and.info/Business/92025_Internal_Dental_Marketing_Speed_As_An_Important_Factor_In_The_Business.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:01:35 GMT In internal dental marketing, Invisalign is being promoted nowadays for patients who needs whiter, stronger teeth. They come to me and I ask them what their ultimate goals are, and we have Invisalign as a solution for them to help them get straighter teeth. But how do we market Invisalign in internal dental marketing? Or how do we attract more patients to accept Invisalign cases in internal dental marketing? In this article, I will discuss to you the ways to market this solution to your patients. By far, the best way to market this solution to patients in internal dental marketing are in 2 ways: first, through your staff; and second, through Invisalign Open House. #1) Your Staff.... In promoting Invisalign in internal dental marketing, your staff has to be educated and trained to talk to every single patient who express interest in having straighter, more attractive teeth, and also educated and trained to help ask people identify their problem. Wendy Briggs, who is the president of Hygiene Diamon ds and Brilliance Inner Circle, is one of the smartest people I've ever met and one of the most trained people in improving your hygiene profitability and getting your hygienists and assistants to work in unison and it helps sell more sort of dentistry for the doctor. What she says a lot too is that she has a magic question for every single patient who walks through the door (and who becomes a new patient). She asks them a simple question: On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your smile?. The patient would wonder and would give various answers. Some may say 6, some 4, others 2, or a 7 maybe, but it really doesn't matter, because the next question is: What would make it a 10?. And we, as a dental team, listen to the patients. The moment they start talking about how they like to have straighter andor whiter teeth, we take down notes and through this we can create a good package of information and regurgitate it back and sell the treatment. The staff also needs to know the core benefits of Invisalig http://advice-and.info/Business/92024_Internal_Dental_Marketing_How_To_Market_Invisalign.html Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:08:33 GMT As a consultant for dental marketing, I have been very successful in getting my clients to bring in so many new patients, and to have my clients accept my cases as well so fast for years now. In this article, you will be able to have great tips on how to become successful in the business of dental marketing. As a dental marketing consultant, I will help you to go away from the traditional ways of being procedure-oriented, and to be able to find a unique perspective on how to win patients in a different, more effective way. And as an effective consultant, I will also share a rather unique view of how trust develops between the dental marketer and the customerpatient to the reader. You may ask to a dental marketing consultant, Well, I'm really not a marketer as such. I just want to sell or provide as much (with services like TMJ, Restorative Work, Implants, Cosmetics, Dentures, Whitening, etc.) And I understand that you have to go through all these marketing and emotional connection stuff and it spells too much work. Now, how do I make this one work without going through all these steps?. I understand this kind of question very well. As a consultant I have always encountered this kind of question. As individuals who are in the line of dental marketing, your goals are to get a ton of new patients, buying and choosing your services as fast as possible. So how do you achieve these goals? As a consultant, I would advise you to develop empathy with your patients. In dental marketing, this is perhaps the most important skill you will need to get people to totally trust you. As you look it up in the dictionary, it is defined as intellectual or imaginative apprehension of another's condition or state of mind!. It means, in plain English, that you have to have a complete understanding of the psychological state of mind of your prospect, and they sense it without you having to tell them! Always remember that the operating force here is the actual state of mind of your prospect, not what you want it http://advice-and.info/Business/92020_Dental_Marketing_Tips_How_To_Attract_A_Flood_Of_High_Quality_Patients_In_A_Minimal_Time.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:00:07 GMT As a dental marketing consultant, I have come to a conclusion that all that matters in on-line dental marketing is the development and growth of your dental website. By development and growth, I mean getting more and more traffic into your own website and at the same time getting more and more dental patients as well. You need to know the stuff that can help you beef-up your own website. Aside from this, everything else is just details in dental marketing. The Formula For Success! I have come up with a simple yet special formula to have you on a winning side. If you want to make your life easier and enjoy seeing more and more patients from your on-line dental marketing, take note of this formula: T C Cash. T is for Traffic! T stands for Traffic. So what do I mean by the word traffic here in dental marketing? It means the rate on how many people are coming in to your web page everyday as they use the Internet. But bear in mind that I did not use the word hits, rather, I made use of t he word people. These are passionate, enthusiastic and good people who are seeking out the dental professional that they would like to conduct business with. And that is why your web page is built and presented in a way that it gives and satisfies what they want. Your web page must communicate with them in a way that it makes it easy for them to choose you as their own dentist! Then in here, this is where the second part of the equation comes in. C is for Conversion! C stands for Conversion. What do I mean by conversion? It means that the people visiting your website (or visitors if you may) becomes your patient. So you convert people from visitors to patients. In on-line dental marketing, this is what you would really want, right? You need to know how to structure your own website to get people to enter their name and information, then actually call your office and officially become your patient! If you can't get people to be your patient through your website, then what you have is a websit http://advice-and.info/Business/92018_Dental_Marketing_On-line_Ed_O_Keefe_Talks_About_Getting_On_Top_In_The_Business.html Sat, 02 Aug 2008 07:07:28 GMT To become successful in the business of dental marketing means developing and creating a "gameplan". Now, what do I mean by this? Well, it refers to developing a gameplan that would help you in doubling new patients in your own dental marketing business. Take note: the more new patients that you have, the more chances of success there will be for you in your business. Developing this idea or strategy is one way to be on top of the dental marketing business. So how do you create this new dental marketing idea? You should set for goals in order to do this. These goals are for: (1) the number of new patients you want; (2) the type of patients you want to have; (3) the number of referrals you want to make; and (4) the expected worth of each of your patient. Goal#1: The Number Of New Patients You Want: In dental marketing, having goals on the number of new patients that you would like to have can be very helpful. Set the number of new patients that you would want to have, for example, in a month. Havi ng this number in mind helps you target a specific number of patients at a fixed rate in a month (let's say 3 patients in a month). Then in time you will be able to add more new patients to those fixed number of patients ( let's say from 3 patients, you will be able to increase them to 4 or 5 patients in a month). Goal#2: The Type of Patients You Want To Have: Choosing the type of patients that you want to attract can also be very helpful in your dental marketing business. These patients could be from different kinds of status and professions (like lawyers, accountants, engineers, etc.). Having this in mind would help you in setting up the income that you would like to earn in a month; for example, as to how much you would charge for this type of patient who is from a certain kind of profession. Goal#3: The Number of Referrals You Want To Make: As you satisfy your new patients with your services, chances are the number of patients that you have set for in a month will increase... and this is th http://advice-and.info/Business/92017_Dental_Marketing_New_Idea_Creating_A_Gameplan.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:12:40 GMT Dental marketing consultant Ed O' Keefe has been very successful in getting his clients to bring in so many new patients, and to have his clients accept his cases as well so fast for years now.

Then for the dental marketing consultant, there's also the Internet. Nowadays, more and more people are using the Internet in their everyday activities.

One of the ideas that people resolve to for this is through ordinary advertising. It's nothing new, but there comes a time that ordinary advertisements seem to prove to be insufficient. Dental marketing business demands that your readers get the central message that you want to reach out to them quickly. So this is where the power of Free Standing Inserts comes in! Dental marketing should be coupled with such new ideas of having inserts, and this article will prove to you why. Why Go For Free Standing Inserts? Here are the reasons why you should use free standing inserts as one of the new ideas in dental marketing: #1: They Get Read More! People tend to read more of free standing inserts. When an advertisement or direct mail piece doesn't work, most people tend to immediately look at the sales copy on the ad or direct mail piece. However, you should always remember that the #1 key f actor to any advertisement or direct mail piece working is NOT the copy, but it's the READERSHIP of the piece! This means the value lies on the attention span that people give in reading your piece. #2: They Are More Cost-Effective! At times you will find that you can place an advertisement that is worth a quarter page ad, but in the same paper run full page free standing insert. You may ask why this is the case.... I have no idea. But it tells me that you should be running the free standing insert! #3: You Can Mail The Same List Weekly Or Monthly For As Little As 800 Bucks! I just finished talking to Dr. Ron Senn on the phone. He was telling me that he can reach 14,000 homes for 800 bucks. WOW! We spoke about rotating a different 14,000 a week... or running a different advertisement to the same 14,000 every week. The idea was that he can run a weekly free standing insert (find 4 recipients and rotate; or 1 recipient and rotate to whom you send it to) for only a small amount of http://advice-and.info/Business/91887_New_Dental_Marketing_Ideas_Using_Free_Standing_Inserts.html Sat, 26 Jul 2008 07:02:42 GMT As a dental marketing consultant, I have been very successful in getting my clients to bring in so many new patients, and to have my clients accept my cases as well so fast for years now. In this article, you will be able to have great ideas on how to become successful in the business of dental marketing. I will help you to go away from the traditional ways of being procedure-oriented, and to be able to find a new unique perspective and ideas on how to win new patients in a different, more effective way. And as an effective dental marketing consultant, I will also share a rather unique view and ideas on how trust develops between the dental marketer and the customerpatient to the reader. You may ask to a dental marketing consultant, Well, I'm really not a marketer as such. I just want to sell or provide as much (with services like TMJ, Restorative Work, Implants, Cosmetics, Dentures, Whitening, etc.) And I understand that you have to go through all these marketing and emotional connection stuf f, and it spells too much work. Now, how do I make this one work without going through all these steps and get new better ideas?. I understand this kind of question very well. I have always encountered this kind of question. As individuals who are in the line of dental marketing, your goals are to get a ton of new patients, buying and choosing your services as fast as possible. So what ideas do you need to achieve these goals? As a consultant, I would advise you to develop empathy with your patients. In dental marketing, this is perhaps the most important skill you will need to get people to totally trust you. As you look it up in the dictionary, it is defined as intellectual or imaginative apprehension of another's condition or state of mind!. It means, in plain English, that you have to have a complete understanding of the psychological state of mind of your prospect, and they sense it without you having to tell them! Always remember that the operating force here is the actual state of mind of y http://advice-and.info/Business/91886_New_Dental_Marketing_Ideas_On_How_To_Attract_A_Flood_Of_High_Quality_Patients_In_A_Minimal_Time.html Tue, 29 Jul 2008 17:38:02 GMT To become successful in the business of dental marketing, new dental marketing ideas are being developed. One of these new dental marketing ideas is developing and creating a "gameplan". Now, what do I mean by this? Well, it refers to developing a gameplan that would help you in doubling new patients in your own dental marketing business. Take note: the more new patients that you have, the more chances of success there will be for you in your business. As one of the new ideas in dental marketing, this is one way to help you to be on top of the dental marketing business. Being on of the new dental marketing ideas, how do you develop this? You should set for goals in order to do this. These goals are for: (1) the number of new patients you want; (2) the type of patients you want to have; (3) the number of referrals you want to make; and (4) the expected worth of each of your patient. #1: The Number Of New Patients You Want: In dental marketing, having goals and ideas on the number of new patients t hat you would like to have can be very helpful. Set the number of new patients that you would want to have, for example, in a month. Having this number in mind helps you target a specific number of patients at a fixed rate in a month (let's say 3 patients in a month). Then in time you will be able to add more new patients to those fixed number of patients ( let's say from 3 patients, you will be able to increase them to 4 or 5 patients in a month). #2: The Type of Patients You Want To Have: Choosing the type of patients that you want to attract can also be very helpful in your dental marketing business. These new patients could be from different kinds of status and professions (like lawyers, accountants, engineers, etc.). Having this ideas in mind would help you in setting up the income that you would like to earn in a month; for example, as to how much you would charge for this type of patient who is from a certain kind of profession. #3: The Number of Referrals You Want To Make: As you satisf http://advice-and.info/Business/91885_New_Dental_Marketing_Ideas_Creating_A_Gameplan.html Tue, 29 Jul 2008 01:27:54 GMT In internet dental marketing, the development and growth of your dental website is very important. By development and growth, it means getting more and more traffic into your own internet dental marketing website and at the same time getting more and more dental patients as well. You need to know the stuff that can help you beef-up your own website! Aside from this, everything else is just details in internet dental marketing. The Formula You Need..... I have come up with a simple yet special formula to have you on a winning side. If you want to make your life easier and enjoy seeing more and more patients from your internet dental marketing, then take note of this formula: T C Cash. T as in Traffic! T is for Traffic. So what does the word traffic mean in internet dental marketing? It means the rate on how many people are coming in to your web page everyday as they use the Internet. But take note that I did not use the word hits, instead, I made use of the word people. These are p assionate and good people who are seeking out the dental professional that they would like to conduct business with. This is the reason why your web page should be presented in a way that it gives and satisfies what they want. Your web page must communicate with them in a way that it makes it easy for them to choose you as their own dentist! C as in Conversion! C is for Conversion. What does conversion mean? It means that the people visiting your website becomes your patient. So you convert people from being visitors to becoming your patients. In internet dental marketing, this is what you would really want, right? You need to know how to structure your own website to get people to enter their name and information, then they call your office and officially become your patient! If you can't get people to be your patient through your website, then what you have is a website just sitting out there gathering nothing but Cyber Dust!

T stands for Traffic. By traffic, it means the rate on how many people are coming in to your web page everyday as they use the Internet.

One of the ways that people resolve to for this is through ordinary advertising. But there comes a time that ordinary advertisements seem to prove to be insufficient. Internal dental marketing business demands that your readers get the central message that you want to reach out to them quickly. So this is where the power of Free Standing Inserts comes in! Internal dental marketing should be coupled with such inserts, and I'll show you why... Advantages Of Free Standing Inserts: Here are the advantages of free standing inserts in internal dental marketing: Advantage #1: They Get Read More! People tend to read more of free standing inserts. When an advertisement or direct mail piece doesn't work, most people tend to immediately look at the sales copy on the ad or direct mail piece. However, you should always remember that the #1 key factor to any advertisement or direct mail piece working is NOT the copy, but it's the READERSHIP of the piece! This means the value lies on the attention span that people give in reading your piece. Advantage #2: They Are More Cost-Effective! Sometimes you'll find that you can place an advertisement that is a quarter page ad, but in the same paper run full page free standing insert. You may ask why this is the case.... I have no idea. But it somehow tells me that you should be running the free standing insert! Advantage #3: You Can Mail The Same List Weekly Or Monthly For As Little As 800 Bucks! I just got off the phone with Dr. Ron Senn. He was telling me that he can reach 14,000 homes for 800 bucks. Amazing! We spoke about rotating a different 14,000 a week... or running a different advertisement to the same 14,000 every week. The idea was that he can run a weekly free standing insert (find 4 recipients and rotate; or 1 recipient and rotate to whom you send it to) for only a small amount of 3200 bucks! Advantage #4: http://advice-and.info/Business/91882_Internal_Dental_Marketing__Go_For_Free_Standing_Inserts.html Sun, 27 Jul 2008 23:14:48 GMT I, Ed O' Keefe, has been a dental marketing consultant for years now. And what I have seen is that the Internet is one of the primary factors that can drive you to success in the dental marketing business niche. Today, we see a lot of people making use of the Internet in their daily activities. They go shopping through e-bay; looking up for prices of cars in automobile sites; logging on to social networking sites; we can see that the Internet is becoming an important part of people's daily lives. This being the fact, I can say that the Internet itself can be considered as a dental marketing strategy. We can harness the power of the Internet as a new strategy to become successful in the dental marketing business. Questions like these may possibly come in to your mind (and I believe it probably will): How can the Internet lead you to success in dental marketing?; or What makes it fit to be a winning factor in dental marketing?. In dental marketing, I find the Internet useful to the business due to many things. (1) I See A Lot Of People Going On-line! Many people are using the Internet in their daily activities. There are more people searching on-line compared to that of any other media for their service providers; they get directions to places they want to go, they chat with other people in social media directories, and others. As you build your own website for your dental marketing business, make sure that your website would increase the traffic of your visitors (which could be your potential patients), as you expect more and more people would log on to the Internet in a daily basis. (2) I Suggest The Use Of Good Keywords! Using good key words can help you become successful in dental marketing as well. Make use of good specific keywords (such as dental, marketing,etc.) that are suitable in the business. With this, you can really dominate your area in the Internet... and you will surely overcome your competitors! (3) I Would Always Iterate: Every Visit Counts!

What do I mean by increasing such value in internal dental marketing? It means that you should be able to maximize the time span that your patient is going to have you as their dentist. So how do we do you do it? You do it by identifying the different behaviors of new patients when they come into the practice... then leave. In internal dental marketing, they should fit into a few different bigger categories, then you can slim them down. You may encounter patients with different kinds of needs in internal dental marketing. Imagine a scenario wherein you have 3 kinds of patients coming into your office. Patient A comes in as a new patient, accepts basic standard of care. Have this patient scheduled for cleaning three to six months out. Then enter Patient B. This patient comes in as a new patient as well, and accepts basic standard of care. However he requires a lot more of work to be done, as h e has expressed some interest and desire to have more cosmetic work done.... but leaves unscheduled for next step. So the appointment is for 6 months out ( the dentist and office accepts the fact that, Well, they are just aren't ready yet... or you'll try again in 6 months). Then comes Patient C. This patient comes in expressing interest in implants, cosmetic dentistry, or any kind of higher end treatments. But in the end he does not accept the treatment. (You may think, What were their excuses? Reason? Real reasons vs. False reasons? Other possible ways to sub-niche these types of patients might be by age; Seniors vs. Boomers; Moms with young children vs. Moms whose children who are out of high school; Men vs. Women; Affluent vs. Non-Affluent). Practical Strategies To Maximize The Lifetime Value Of Each New Patient: As you go on with your business in internal dental marketing, you should develop strategies that will be able to help you maximize the lifetime value of each patient. Always remember t http://advice-and.info/Business/91770_Internal_Dental_Marketing__How_To_Increase_The_Lifetime_Value_Of_Every_Patient.html Wed, 23 Jul 2008 20:09:27 GMT In cosmetic dentist marketing, you should find helpful ways on how to promote your business. Promoting your cosmetic dentist marketing business would mean getting more cosmetic patients coming in to your side. In this article, dental marketing consultant Ed O' Keefe will teach you the strategies that you can use to become successful in your cosmetic dentist marketing business. Strategy#1: Sub-Niche Your Practice One way to promote your cosmetic dentist marketing business is to sub-niche your practice. You can do this by promoting other services. So what does it mean to sub-niche your practice? For us, what we do is we promote Invisalign for patients who would like to have whiter, stronger teeth. They come to me and I ask them what their ultimate goals are, and we have Invisalign as a solution to help them get straighter teeth. But if they want to get straighter, whiter teeth and they want it now (as they are candidates for veneers and other kinds of services we offer), we can present the whole trea tment plan right then and there. So one of the things that I like to teach the doctors is this: start sub-niching your practice; go after your patients with problems and have cosmetic dentistry as the solution for them! Strategy#2: Go For Lead-Generation Marketing Another way to promote your cosmetic dentist marketing business is by doing lead-generation marketing. What does this mean? It means that you advertise your services. By advertising you can help people identify you as a good cosmetic dentist by overwhelming them with before and afters proof, educating them through DVD's, powerpoints, and also through the Internet. For me, this is the future of dentistry and how it is going to be sold. You can have the options of educating your patients through seminars, local workshops, or have the Internet as your option, and then you can educate them on-line as well. Strategy#3: Open The Floodgates To Your Patients And another way to promote cosmetic dentist marketing is by opening the fl http://advice-and.info/Business/91768_Cosmetic_Dentist_Marketing_Strategies_To_Promote_Your_Cosmetic_Dentist_Marketing_Business.html Sun, 27 Jul 2008 14:13:02 GMT In internal dental marketing, making a start with the business means that you have to start it right. You should be able to know how to make your practice come hand-in-hand with the your internal dental marketing business. Among the questions that the doctors asked me in a free tele-class where I invited them: were How do I know where to start with your marketing?, and How do I know if my practice can be helped with marketing?. I gave them a round about answer. A fair one nonetheless, it explains what you really need to think about in internal dental marketing instead of being misled by a consultant or marketing representative. Presented here are two specific measurements which helps me objectively coach my clients on the health of their practice. A. The Referral Ratio You need to consider the Referral Ratio in internal dental marketing. Now, you may ask: What is Referral Ratio?. It is actually simple. You take the total number of referrals you received last year and divide it by the total number of active patients you have. Thus the formula: Referral Ratio (total # of referrals received last year) (total # of active patients you have) So, if you have 300 referrals and 1000 active patients: Referral Ratio (300 referrals) (1000 active patients) 30 30 Referral Ratio is considered Good, not great... but it is a good starting place. Another would be if you have 100 referrals and 1000 active patients: Referral Ratio (100 referrals) (1000 active patients) 10 If you fall in this range, then you have some big improvements to do. But what's important is that at least you now know it.. and we can go to work! If you range below a 50 Referral Ratio in internal dental marketing, then you would list it as one of your strategic objectives to improve over the next 90 days to 12 months. If you range below a 20 Referral Ratio, then it is vital! It calls for immediate action! B. The 6-Month Value Of A New Patient In in http://advice-and.info/Business/91393_Internal_Dental_Marketing__A_Marketing_Strategy_By_Ed_O_Keefe.html Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:00:24 GMT In the dental marketing arena, starting up with the business means that you have to have the strategies on how to start it right. And in dental marketing you should be able to know how to make your practice come hand-in-hand with the business. In this article, I will share to you the strategy on how to do just that in your dental marketing business. On a free tele-class wherein I invited a bunch of doctors, among the questions that I received from them were How do I know where to start with your marketing?, and How do I know if my practice can be helped with marketing?. What I gave them was a round about answer. But it's a fair one nonetheless... and it explains what you REALLY need to think about in dental marketing instead of being misled by a consultant or marketing representative. Here are two specific measurements that I like to look at which helps me objectively coach my clients on the health of their practice. #1 : The Referral Ratio In dental marketing, you need to take into consider ation the Referral Ratio. You may ask: What is Referral Ratio?. It is actually simple. All you really need here is a general ball park. Just take the total number of referrals you received last year and divide it by the total number of active patients you have. So what we have is this formula: Referral Ratio (total # of referrals received last year) (total # of active patients you have) So let's take for example you have 300 referrals and 1000 active patients: Therefore; Referral Ratio (300 referrals) (1000 active patients) 30 30 Referral Ratio is considered Good, not great... but it is a good starting place. Another example would be that you have 100 referrals and 1000 active patients: Therefore; Referral Ratio (100 referrals) (1000 active patients) 10 If you fall in this range, then you have some MAJOR improvements to do. But the good news is that at least you now know it.. and we can go to work! If you are hitting below a 50 Referral http://advice-and.info/Business/91391_Dental_Marketing__A_Killer_Marketing_Strategy.html Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:02:53 GMT In hispanic dental marketing, there are three kinds of herd in the business. The first herd in hispanic dental marketing is the current patient base and inactive patient base (which you should be nurturing monthly and offering more services every single month). The second herd in hispanic dental marketing is the herd of all the people that we have relationships with: our friends, our family, and all the business owners that we go on the other end where they call us and we write our checks to. Now, let's talk more of the third herd. The Third Herd In The Business.... The third herd in hispanic dental marketing is the interested but not ready herd. Another way of saying this is that this is your lead. In my previous articles I talked about lead generation marketing. So let's say we're going after cosmetic dentistry, and we call on a certain patient and ask himher this question: Are you embarrassed by your smile?. And then we have this article that gives them two options: first, they can call direct ly to the office just to set up a consultation; or second, they can come in and get them to call toll free order message hot line number or go to a website to get a frequency awareness report. As time goes on, that group of people who requested builds up in number. And over a year, you might have 3,000 people or 5,000 people who are on that list. Now, you must bear in mind that there are some people on that list who just will never come in. But on the other hand, the beauty about marketing with these people and getting a ton of leads of people who are interested is we know that they're interested! And this is why they requested for a report, which means that they're interested of whatever it is that you're offering. So you can have headache sufferers; you can go to implant patients; you can do cosmetic dentistry; anything you can do in your hispanic dental marketing. You get to decide on how you want to do it. And what I recommend is that you mail them until they ask to get off your list, or after 18 mo http://advice-and.info/Business/91390_Hispanic_Dental_Marketing__Nurturing_The_Third_Herd_In_The_Business.html Tue, 22 Jul 2008 04:05:07 GMT In hispanic dental marketing, everybody aims to make lots of money in their business. Some may be successful, while others may not be that lucky. But what does it take to be successful in the hispanic dental marketing business? The answer to that would be this: SPEED! The way to make lots of money in just about anything in life has to do with speed. So is it in hispanic dental marketing. If you want to have lots of money, then you need to do the activities necessary that enables you to have more of it at a faster rate. Sounds too simple, doesn't it? The reason is: because it is! THE PROCESS OF CREATION: To make lots of money in hispanic dental marketing, you have to go for the process of creation. It's simple: 1) Idea have an idea on how you would go for your goal. 2) Knowledge acquire the knowledge required to execute your idea. 3) Resources get the resources ( people, etc.) needed to do it for you or help you implement it. 4) Fire! - move quickly... and fire, fire, fire! 5) Feedb ack get the feedbacks from the results that you have achieved. Be it good, bad, ugly...it doesn't matter! 6) Re-evaluate re-evaluate, then re-aim, and again FIRE, FIRE, FIRE! Also, make it a point that you implement things quickly! In hispanic dental marketing, the person who moves quickly creates new end results; then re-evaluates... and heshe may be on the 4th revision while the other person is on step 3 of their first shot at it. TAKE FAST ACTION: In hispanic dental marketing, the person who is able to move faster becomes 10 times more successful, and at the same time, 10 times wiser. Always remember that wisdom is created through experiential knowledge, and not book knowledge. A person who is a Harvard Grad might be brilliant.... but is not necessarily WISE! This is why speed is of great importance in hispanic dental marketing. It is the only variable that can accelerate this process. It requires you to eliminate the things that are holding you back, and to move beyond".

You need to know the stuff that can help you "build up" your own website! Aside from this, everything else is just details in hispanic dental marketing. The Formula For Success! I have come up with a simple yet special formula for your business. If you want to make your life easier and enjoy seeing more patients from your hispanic dental marketing, then this formula is for you: T C Cash. T is for Traffic! What does the word traffic mean in hispanic dental marketing? It means the rate on how many people are coming in to your website everyday as they use the Internet. These are passionate and enthusiastic people who are seeking out the dental professional they would like to conduct business with. Thus, your website should be present ed in a way that it gives and satisfies what they want. Your website must communicate with them in a way that it makes it easy for them to choose you as their dentist! C is for Conversion! What does conversion mean?

Get people to be your patient through your website! So, let's say you are currently getting 100 visitors a month, and you are only getting three new patients from those visits (a 3 conversion ratio). This rate can be improved. If each patient is worth 900 (within a 6 month period), then you are adding 2700 in cash to your practice (take note this does not include the referrals yet!)

In your dental practice, always aim to have good management to gain more patients, and at the same time keep them in your side longer. In this article you will discover tips on how to have a good dental practice management in your business. Tip #1: Have A Good Staff The first tip in having a good dental practice management is that you should have a staff that's educated and trained enough to talk to every patient who express their dental concerns. As an example, let me tell you what we do in promoting Invisalign. We promote Invisalign as a solution for patients who want to have straighter, more attractive teeth. So, I make sure that I have staff that's trained enough to talk to every patient who express interest in having straighter, more attractive teeth, and educated enough to help ask people identify their problem. We can ask the patient, On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your smi le?; which then brings the patient to give various answers. And no matter what their answer is, what we ask them next is What would make it a 10?. Then we, as a dental team, listen intently to their answers: we take down notes and through this we can create a good package of information and give it back and sell the treatment. The staff also needs to know the benefits of the solution: it's invisible, removable and it allows more people to feel more confident. So getting a staff that's well-trained and educated can help you achieve more case acceptance from your patients. Tip #2: Harness The Power Of The Internet The second tip in having a good dental practice management is that make use of the power of the Internet. As we know, more and more people everyday log on to the Internet, and it has become a part of their daily activities. With this fact in mind, what you do is create and build your own dental website.

Dental practice management consultant Ed O' Keefe will share to you great tips on how to manage your dental practice. For the dental practice management consultant, you should always aim to have good management to gain more patients, and at the same time keep them in your side longer. In here, you will discover tips from the dental practice management consultant on how to have a good dental practice management in your business. 1st Tip: Make Use Of The Power Of The Internet The first tip that the dental practice management consultant would give you is that you should make use of the power of the Internet. More and more people everyday go on-line, and it has become a part of their everyday activities. Having this fact in mind, what you do is create and build your own dental website. Build it in a way that it would increase the flow of people checking out your website (or you r visitors). And these visitors are your potential patients. And the more visitors you have on your site, the higher the ranking of your page will be.
