If you'd like to do more ideal treatment more often, with less stress and higher income, then this might be the most important workshop you can attend.   

Three Reasons To Believe What I Say

Reason one: We've successfully been using a PCC in our practice since 2001.

Reason two: We've increased our production and collection every year. 

Reason three: We've taught over 75 offices how to do this.

 

Here is a summary of the benefits you receive  

 

You'll learn a new model for a more effective practice so you can do more of the dentistry you want to do.

 

bullet You'll learn about better first impressions so you can start your relationship with new patients in a positive, expectant light.

 

 

bullet You'll learn to make the new person feel involved, listened to and you'll find out what they really want.

 

bullet Your office will learn to build a relationship of trust beginning with the patient's first phone call.  Patients will actually show up for their appointment because they feel they have made a friend.

 

  

bullet You'll be able to offer higher levels of treatment and charge more and the  dentist won't be the one having to sell that treatment!

 

bullet You'll learn how to make sure that someone has the time to LISTEN to the patient and your patients will feel cared about and will trust you to do their dental work.

 

 

bullet You'll learn how to spend quality time with a patient and how to talk about treatment while the doctor gets to spend more time doing dentistry.

 

 

bullet You'll learn how to talk to patients about fees and financing and your office production and collection will go up.

 

  

bullet You'll learn why patients open up and talk and then agree to treatment because they feel comfortable.

 

bullet You'll learn to talk to the patient in a non-technical way by answering their unasked questions: "How long will it take?"  "Will it hurt?" and "How do I pay?"

And, patients learn what they need to know, therefore, scheduling for treatment.

bullet

Our speakers are actually "in the trenches" and doing this on a daily basis.

bullet

We take a team approach - the whole office must be onboard to allow positive change to take place.

bullet

We have spent the past 5 years developing the role of a Patient Care Coordinator in our office. We can save you the frustration of having to figure out how to get started and why you will want to get started.

 

bullet

We'll talk you through some of the finer points of working with patients that will dramatically increase the number of people actually making appointments for treatment in your office.

bullet

We'll tell you how a simple change in your telelphone script can increase your quality appointments by up to 200%... or more!

bullet

We'll tell you about the little-known conversation that will actually get patients to sign up for your services.

bullet

Our sales increased 70% when we changed the focus of our practice... and how you can easily model this success!

 

bullet

We'll tell you how to create fierce customer loyalty that leaves your patients indifferent to the marketing tactics of even your biggest competitors!
