Marketing Is More Than Just Leads - Firegang Jul 23, 2021

Show notes

SHOW NOTES:

For most dental practice owners, there are so many marketing companies hopping in our DM’s or shooting us emails on a regular basis. With so many promises of an ROI that seems too good to be true, it’s hard to figure out who is the real deal.
Firegang Marketing has the experience, data, and results to prove you can trust them; they’ve been working exclusively with dental practices for over ten years now, providing stellar results for startups, DSO’s, long-established private practices, and everything in between.
Marketing is more than just leads; it’s one thing to land a lead, it’s a whole different story to actually convert them. That’s why Firegang Marketing defines itself as a “revenue generator” and not a “lead generator”—their mission is to increase your practice’s revenue through top-of-the-line marketing tactics.
Firegang Marketing doesn’t just bolster your marketing campaigns—they offer a partnership founded in growing your business. They can really get involved behind the scenes of your practice and make managing it so much easier.
Instead of focusing on a niche piece of marketing—landing page, Google Ads, Facebook ads, etc.—Firegang Marketing takes a more comprehensive, in-depth approach.
Their fully integrated and automated digital marketing approaches mean their services can help you with almost anything—from building your website to creating engaging ads to tracking metrics via “KPI Scorecards” and coaching your staff, they’ll plug any holes in your bucket.
Learn about:
Why do you need diversification and differentiation in any marketing campaign?
What key factors will influence a patient to choose your practice instead of the practice down the street?
So many marketing companies abide by a cookie-cutter marketing approach—funnels, predictable memes, you name it. Why is that cookie-cutter system so detrimental to a dental practice owner who wants their practice to stand out in a crowded market? Why do prospects see through the cliché?
Firegang Marketing doesn’t work with just anybody; they’ll only work with practices that leave them feeling confident in achieving a win-win scenario. So, who is their ideal client?
What revenue does Firegang Marketing hope to help your practice achieve, and what’s the time frame?
How does their process work?
What are the metrics that drive the most revenue?
And more!

Dr. Brady Smith: Focus on the "Why" to find Fulfillment in Dentistry Jun 25, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode is sponsored by CareCru. Check them out here: CareCru

Brady Smith is a general dentist with “one foot in and one foot out” of a DSO franchise called Comfort Dental.
Brady has been at Comfort Dental for over 12 years now, joining right out of dental school to pay down $300,000 in student loan debt. Since then, he’s built three practices in locations ranging from a little town (Pueblo, Colorado) to a city (Vancouver, Washington).
After building two of those three Comfort Dental practices from scratch, Brady decided he has what it takes to open a PPO practice with a fellow dentist called “Tooth Docs.”
Outside of dentistry, however, Brady is passionate about doing charitable work with the organization he founded a few years ago called “HALO Dental Network” which provides free dental care to underserved populations throughout the country.
HALO is an acronym for “Helping And Leading Others.”
Brady also hosts a podcast called “Drilled with Dr. Brady.” The co-host, Lowell-George Granath, is a founding partner and the Executive Director of HALO Dental Network.
Learn about:
The pros and cons of a PPO practice vs. a FFS practice.
The pros and cons of joining a DSO franchise like Comfort Dental.
What is HALO Dental Network and what do they do?
How does HALO afford to provide free dental care?
How can YOU provide free dental services to underserved populations, once a year, through HALO?
“Every dollar you give HALO is $10 of dentistry for someone who needs it”... How can you donate money to HALO?
What is Brady’s #1 tip for practice productivity? It might surprise you…
What’s Brady’s most productive “tool” in his “toolshed”? This one might surprise you too…
And what’s Brady’s big Nifty Thrifty tip?
What would he tell his pre-dental, undergrad self? If he could have a do-over, what would it be? Would he even want a do-over?

SMS Advertising 101 - Podium Inc. Jun 16, 2021

Show notes

NOTES:

Currently helping over 90,000 businesses boost their reputation and attract patients with SMS advertising, Podium is coming out with additional features and pushing the envelope… Here are a few:
Webchat: a lead generator tool that gives anyone who is visiting your website the opportunity to have a two-way conversation with your dental practice.
Revenue Generating Partner: Podium payments provide a patient with a link, via text, to offer a convenient way for them to pay for their treatment. And it’s all in one hub, speeding up an otherwise tedious and off-putting process of going through third-party services or portals.
Cost-efficient: Social media campaigns can cost you dollars per click. Podium is only 10 cents per send with FLAT rates at 1.99% and 15 cents per transaction.
Note: it’s illegal to send out promotional texts without an opt-in. But, that said, Podium has at least eight different touchpoints to collect consent from customers and get their permission to be sent promotional texts.

NIFTY DEAL:

$400 Amazon Gift Card if you sign up by the end of June
If you’re currently a client, you’ll get a $200 Amazon Gift Card if you add campaigns.

How Much Cash You Should Hold Onto Right Now?- Dentist Advisor May 31, 2021

Show notes

NOTES

-Dentist Advisors have been around for 15 years and they ONLY work with dentists. They are a no commission fiduciary financial advisor.

-Dentists are analytical but many don’t apply those same analytics to financial planning. Getting financial advice from an internet group is not the way to secure your future.

-Start with the basics of how much cash you need. Considerations: 1) business liquidity 2) family liquidity 3) upcoming projects.

-Dentist Advisors have a different business model. They are a no commission advisor and our mission is to ensure your financial health (fiduciary).

-They don’t recommend any product until they understand your ENTIRE financial status.
