2024/04/29

You’ve probably noticed how the quality of customer service has gotten pretty erratic of the last few years—whether it’s in-person at a restaurant/store or due to the rise of buggy automated technology.

Dental Business RX ·

2024/04/15

This seems like the simplest way to create growth: simply buy a retiring doctor’s patient database and incorporate them into your own practice. It’s easier and faster than marketing on your own to attract new patients, right? Well…maybe. We’ve seen it go well but also go very poorly, depending on how the initial arrangements were made and the approach to onboarding patients. So this week, Jeff discusses when this is a good idea, when it’s a big waste of time and money, and how to successfully

Ep. 133: The Most Difficult Part of Case Acceptance

Dental Business RX ·

2024/04/01

Most dentists are pretty comfortable explaining the diagnosis and treatment plan to the patient. The issues tend to arise at “the close”—i.e., overcoming those last objections and getting the patient truly committed so the treatment actually gets done and the money collected. So this week, Jeff dives into closing techniques and how to ensure it really is a done deal before the patient leaves the office.

Dental Business RX ·

2024/03/10

More and more dentists are starting to rethink the traditional payment model. Waiting until after services have been rendered increases the likelihood that patients won’t show up or pay, as well as creating extra work to chase up late payments. So, it’s easy to see why many dentists prefer prepaying nowadays. In this episode, Jeff discusses the pros and cons of prepayments, and gives tips for implementing it successfully.

Ep. 128: What You Don’t See in Your Dental Office

Dental Business RX ·

2024/02/26

Being a dental practice owner can be a little tricky because it’s hard to know exactly what’s going on elsewhere in the office while you’re busy chairside. And this isn’t just a problem for dentists, but really any business owner. It’s impossible to keep your finger on the pulse of every single aspect of the business, and even the most well-intentioned employees can miss things in their area or unintentionally misrepresent them, which gives you a false impression. So this week, Jeff discusses the

Ep. 127: When to Look at Your Practice Metrics

Dental Business RX ·

2024/02/19

We all know we’re supposed to track metrics (or “key performance indicators”) for our businesses. However, oftentimes this just boils down to looking at a chart and thinking, “Oh, last month was bad,” or “last month was good”…but now it’s too late to do anything about it. When you don’t use it in real time, it becomes curious but ultimately useless information. So in this episode, Jeff discusses how to actively track key information and use it to actually improve efficiency and meet your goals.

It can be a delicate balance finding the right amount of time to schedule for new patient appointments. Too little time and you’re too rushed to form a good relationship and present their treatment plan properly. Too much time and it starts eating into more productive procedures.
