Is the competition around your dental practice too thick? Is it difficult to consistently attract the type of patients you want?

If you’ve answered yes to either of those questions –our latest podcast will be valuable to you!

In our podcast, Mark and I discuss how to compete in a market that is already saturated with dentists. We discuss the importance of watching the marketing bell curve, consistency and which marketing tactics to focus on. After 30 years of exclusively marketing for dentists, we have seen the practices of many clients flourish while competing in saturated markets. Yes, even fee for service practices.

Podcast Highlights:

  • How Can You Compete in a Market That is Already Saturated with Dentists?
  • It’s not just about money
  • Don’t continually re-start the bell curve
  • Measure, adjust expectations, then what?

  • To accept that all marketing ideas you try will not work – that’s ok
  • Knowledge that all marketing tactics do work together
