Unlocking Affordable Healthcare with Dylan Brockman of Brockman Health Jan 29, 2024

Show notes

NOTES:

This week, Dr. Glenn Vo finally got Dylan Brockman—CEO of Brockman Health—to take a break from hooking the Nifty Thrifty community up with affordable healthcare and sit down for another episode of the Nifty Thrifty podcast.
Dylan’s team consists of experienced agents with an honest, transparent, and educational approach. They’re dedicated to providing innovative health and life insurance solutions for self-employed individuals, families, small business owners, and contract workers.
One of the big reasons why Dylan wanted to hop onto the podcast was to talk about the window for open enrollment—from November 1st to December 15th—and bring awareness to practice owners about the importance of taking advantage.
For those unfamiliar with open enrollment, it’s a six-week window when insurance companies open their gates to accept anybody and everybody. That’s a big deal because very few companies allow folks to suddenly jump on their plans—and the ones that do allow that will usually require you to have some “special life event” going on.
If you miss the open enrollment period, all is not lost—you still have options, and sometimes there are even extensions. That said, the remaining options might come with the risk of overpaying or being left undercovered (Dylan even refers to these as “Swiss cheese” plans because of their holes and gaps).
Believe it or not, Dylan’s services are “free.” He has contracts with the insurance companies, and that’s how he’s compensated. There’s no nickel-and-diming involved—it’s completely free for Dylan’s customers to use his services—and he gets the same compensation no matter the company he works with.
A free consultation with Dylan just takes a concise, 5-10 minute phone call. In that short amount of time, Dylan can gain a thorough understanding of your budget and specific needs—whether related to therapy, doctor visits, specialists, or specific medications—before presenting you with multiple options to compare, contrast, and figure out what works best for your unique situation.
Dylan knows what it’s like to be a small business owner. Prior to getting a start in the insurance industry, he was an entrepreneur himself. He ran into the same problems, struggling to find a way to offer health insurance benefits that would fit into his budget.
He was stuck between two disparate options. One option was a costly plan that made a lot of sense. The other option was an affordable plan that offered high deductibles, crazy amounts of barriers to entry before getting benefits, and so on.
Dylan thinks a big reason so many practice owners run into this problem is that they simply don’t know where to find the right programs. He believes that “there are a lot of options out there for you so long as you know where to look.”
For the past five years, Dylan has been doing just that—helping people (self-employed people, small business owners, families, etc.)—with finding affordable healthcare.

● Learn about:

○ What's the open enrollment period, and why should practice owners take advantage of it if they’re considering offering health insurance for their team?

]○ And more!

● Tune in to watch Glenn go through a screen share presentation where he scrolls through Dylan’s website and highlights what he can do for you. There’s no harm in at least reaching out; email Dylan at BrockmanHealth@gmail.com or call him at 1-954-243-5893!

NIFTY DEAL:

● Free review of current health insurance plan and situation. Consultation will determine if the current health plan is best for their situation or if there are better alternatives.

Exclusive Deals on Apex Dental Sensors with Nifty Thrifty Dentists Podcast! Dive into Quality, Innovation, and Unbeatable Prices for Your Dental Practice!" Jan 09, 2024

Show notes

I'm stoked to bring you another exciting Nifty Thrifty Dentists podcast episode. This time, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sean Birney, the Vice President of Marketing at Masterlink, a company that many of my fellow dentists know for their incredible Apex Dental Sensors.

Brace yourselves because we've got some exclusive Black Friday Deals you don't want to miss!

If you're part of our 55,000+ strong Facebook group, you're likely familiar with Masterlink as a consistent contributor of fantastic deals to our community.

They’ve been in business for over three decades but, for the past ten years, their Apex Dental Sensors have been the go-to for dentists looking to upgrade their dental sensors at unbeatable prices.

So, other than their unparalleled price points, what's the buzz about Apex Dental Sensors? Well, for starters, they seamlessly integrate with most major dental imaging software.

The slim design with sensor plates measuring only 5.3mm and beveled corners ensures comfort during use, setting them apart in terms of quality and user experience.

And I’ll be the first to say that the customer support at Masterlink is top-notch—Sean emphasizes the importance of swiftly and effectively resolving client issues and prioritizing customer satisfaction.

Also, the Apex Dental Sensors come with a SensorCare Protection Plan, safeguarding against defects for up to five sensors per office.

There are two plans: Basic Sensor Care for $495/year (50% off the retail price for replacement sensors) and Sensor Care Plus for $895/year (your first replacement sensor is free). That's a value you won't find elsewhere.

Another standout feature of Apex Dental Sensors is their waterproof and dustproof design. With an IP67 rating, these sensors can be immersed in disinfecting liquid without any worries about damage. That's innovation meeting practicality right there.

Sean and I walked through a screen share presentation of Masterlink’s website during the podcast to give you an inside look.

If you're curious and ready to snag a Nifty Thrifty Deal, reach out to Sean on Facebook or visit our special landing page at https://dentalstore123.com/shop/apex-dental-sensors/ for all the details.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your dental practice with top-tier sensors at unbeatable prices. Tune in, get the scoop, and make this Nifty Thrifty Deal the best one for your dental clinic!

Learn about:

Why does Masterlink refuse to sell through dealers (e.g. Henry Schein, Patterson, etc.)? In other words, why do Sean and his team sell directly to doctors with no “middleman” in between?
Hint: The “middlemen” like to mark up the prices, sometimes for as much as thousands of dollars or more!
What major dental imaging software does Masterlink work with?
Hint: Basically, all of them!
How do Apex Dental Sensors compare to other dental sensors?
Hint: They’re thinner and more powerful than their counterparts, but the price point is the “big, big” difference!
What does Sean mean when he says that Masterlink’s profits go to their support team?
What’s the worst damage Sean has ever seen when replacing a client’s sensor for Masterlink’s SensorCare Protection Plan?
Hint: He’s received sensors that look like they’ve been put through a blender!
How does Masterlink sell dental sensors at half the price of the “big dogs” in the industry without compromising quality?
And more!

Nifty Deal:

Adult Apex Dental Sensors are usually $5,495, but now they’re just $3,495 (with an extra 5% off for Nifty members). Meanwhile, the pedo size—typically $5,495—is available for just $2,995 (also with an extra 5% off).
Placing orders through the special Nifty Thrifty landing page at https://dentalstore123.com/shop/apex-dental-sensors/ ensures free ground shipping, with expedited options available.

Get All The Dental Implant Cases You Can Handle with Jacob Hiller of Dental Implant Machine Dec 26, 2023

Show notes

This week, Dr. Glenn Vo sat down with Jacob Hiller, the Chief Growth Officer of Dental Implant Machine and a renowned marketing expert with over 15 years of experience in the field.
Dental Implant Machine helps dentists and oral surgeons increase the number of dental implant patients they see by providing a range of marketing services specifically tailored to the dental implant industry.
With a team of experienced marketing professionals and a deep understanding of the dental implant market, they’ll work closely with their clients to develop and implement marketing strategies that drive results.
You might have already seen some Dental Implant Machine ads (and if you haven’t already, you probably will eventually). That only makes sense when Jacob and his team pride themselves on getting in front of dentists and prospective implant patients with in-depth retargeting campaigns.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg: From social media campaigns and email marketing to website design and search engine optimization, Dental Implant Machine offers comprehensive services to help their clients reach more potential patients and grow their practice.
Whether you are a solo practitioner or a multi-location practice, they have the expertise and resources to help you succeed in the competitive world of dental implants.
On top of its stellar marketing capacities, Dental Implant Machine stands out from its competition because they’re not just about engaging with implant prospects and bringing them into their client’s dental practice—it teaches dental teams about effective case presentation and closing those patients.
Through trial and error, the folks at Dental Implant Machine have realized how to engage with patients, present financing options, and help them make the right health decision without being “pushy.”
Hint: It has something to do with their personalized dental marketing funnels!
Jacob and his team believe that anyone involved in the patient journey is, in one way or another, involved in helping the patient make the decision to accept treatment. That’s why—monthly—they’ll meet with the doctor, the treatment coordinator, the scheduler, etc., to look at the numbers and ensure that everyone is doing their best job, has the framework down, the necessary training, and so on.
Learn about…
What comprehensive framework does Dental Implant Machine offer dental practice owners for finding, educating, and treating more implant patients?
Getting the patients into your office is one thing, but what do you do once you successfully get them into your office?
Why is it so important to have a team that knows the art of case presentation?
How do the folks at Dental Implant Machine leverage metrics and numbers to help their clients close more cases?
According to Jacob, how does the patient journey start before they actually walk into the door?
Why does Glenn find it so important that the folks at Dental Implant Machine actually care about your conversion rates vs. just sending you leads?
Why does Glenn think Dental Implant Machine's lack of a “non-disparagement clause” clearly shows how much they overdeliver, create a great ROI for dental practices, etc.?
Hint: It has something to do with hard proof of happy clientele!
How can Dental Implant Machine help any “normal” doctor make an extra $1,000,000 and over in production (and what do we mean by “normal” doctors)?
What’s a marketing funnel, how does it work, and how does Dental Implant Machine help busy dentists double their dental patients using dental funnels?

And more!
