What are YOUR GOALS for YOUR PRACTICE? |
|
|
|
Most dentists are actively trying to increase the size of their practice - and we actively help dentists with that goal. Even if you're comfortable with your practice because it's manageable and provides a comfortable income, you'll loose patients through natural attrition, so you need new patients just to 'stay even'. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
AND, with very few exceptions, every dentist is planning for the day when they can retire and the income from the sale of the practice will be a substantial portion of that retirement plan. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whether you're focused on income for good quality-of-life right now, or value/equity in your practice when you're ready to retire, the only way to attain either of those goals is to increase the revenue on a monthly basis (and do that well in advance of when you're ready to sell). |
|
|
|
|
|
| So, what does it currently cost you to get a new, long-term / 'quality' patient? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| It's easy to calculate - divide your annual marketing budget (all direct and indirect marketing costs) by the number of new patients per year. What amount did you come up with? $200 each? $250 each? $300 each? Yes, it can get expensive - often more than expected. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Dentists often spend money on a phone book ad, or newspaper or magazine ads, and that usually gains some new patients. But 'Yellow-Page' ads are expensive and they're totally inflexible. Magazine and newspaper ads require a long-term commitment to get prices close to reasonable. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| As part of our service to you, we'll help new patients find and see more value in your practice, and reduce costs while you continue to deliver patient-care. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's right; we can help you by giving you tangible "Practice Building Programs" that: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Promote your practice to help new patients find AND choose you (lowering the avg. cost to bring in a new pt). See #8 & #9. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make your practice more appealing than other dental offices for new and existing patients. See #1, #2, #4, #5, #6, #7 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reduce your direct and indirect operating costs. See #3 & #10. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The phone companies won't admit it, but the printed Yellow Page directories are almost dead! |
|
 |
Most people now look for a pet store, a dentist, or a pizza place online because they can specify the zip code they want - Yellow Pages listed businesses alphabetically, so people must search for a listing close to them. |
|
| We offer the internet AmericaSmiles Dental Directories to help dentists be found - ONLINE - where the patients are looking! If you have a website, you know it has to be found in order for it to work for you. If you don't have a website for your practice - the AmericaSmiles listings still lets potential patients find your practice. |
|
| AmericaSmiles is the largest network of zip-code-specific dental directories on the web. AND it's #1 for more than 30 common dental-related search terms on Google. Get your practice networked into those Google searches! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Get more from your lab than just great restorations. Let us get you networked on the web so it can start working for you too. Don't let your sign on your building be the best method for new patients to find you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Let's work together to make it easier for potential patients to find and choose your practice. And make it more beneficial for your current patients to continue with your practice as well as refer friends and family to you! |

Dental Grants for your patients |
| (Included with your ACDLA Affiliate Membership) |
| Offer your patients something extra that they really want. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Your patients have opportunities to win dental grants from $500 to $10,000 each |
| month that they visit your office. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
| The grant money will be paid directly to you. You apply it to the patient's account as a credit. Then you and the patient decided on the terms and conditions that it will be used (for just them or their whole family or however you decide). |
|
|
|
|
|
| Tell us you would like to try this program and we'll set up the page so you can see how it will work with your practice. |
|
|
|
|
|
| If you want to join the hundreds of dentists that are already offering the grants, we'll set you up with the printed materials for your patients and assist your staff in understanding the best way to get the results you're interested in seeing. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The grant money is provided by CloSYS Oral Rinse, Sterngold, United Dental Resources, Etkon Dental, Shofu Porcelain, and other major dental companies, and we administer the program so it costs you NOTHING! See details below. |

Patient Satisfaction Surveys |
| (Included with your ACDLA Affiliate Membership) |
|

| Are your patients happy? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now you can find out - You can receive Patient Satisfaction Surveys from your patients - emailed to you after their visits to your office. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
| We'll assist you in setting up the Patient Surveys with up to 10 questions (you select) about your office. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
The information from your patients' surveys is very useful for your staff meetings if you want to improve your practice without wasting time and money guessing at what you think needs to be changed or improved in your office.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| There's even a "stats sheet" that gives you a cumulative averages for each question's score. So you can get an average score for how your patients are ranking each of your concerns. AND that can really help measure your efforts to improve. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Call us and we'll set it up with you or a staff member so that you can see how it works before you decided. It takes about 10 minutes to set it all up and then we can simulate a patient taking your survey. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Please note: you must be offering the dental grants (#1) in order to receive the emailed Patient Satisfaction Surveys - the dental grants are the motivation for the patients to answer your 10-question surveys. |
