Dental Marketing | Your Actions Today Influence the Future of Your Business Last year, I hosted a live logo evaluation on Facebook. Doctors and clients would send logos for me to evaluate based upon my own personal preferences and my expertise in the field. The event went really well, with many enjoying the free guidance and fun atmosphere. A year passed and I nearly forgot about the event. The day to day workings of Identity continued on without any related changes. In other words, the energy I put into that event didn’t seem to deliver any return on investment. Just recently however, one of the participants in that live event (in case you were wondering, his logo was pretty good from what I remember) reached back out to me and introduced me to his team. He remembered the event and myself fondly. For some, this may not seem like a big deal. But for me, it validated one of my “Rizz-isms”: a belief I’ve held for a very long time. There is such a thing as “Business Karma”. The word karma and it’s meaning has been changed and disputed so many times by so many different groups that it may mean something different to you than it does to me. To me, karma, and especially business karma is not some kind of tit for tat mentality. Business Karma isn’t about doing good things just because you expect them to come back to you. It’s important to approach business with the understanding that positive intention means a lot. It should be implemented every day, into everything you do. Where your actions are coming from is just as important as what the actions are, because anything that goes in to your business, good or bad, is going to come back out. For my own business, this belief means that I sometimes dedicate a lot of work and energy without seeing an immediate and direct return on my investment. This doesn’t mean I invest carelessly, or ignore sound business advice, but simply that I have the patience to wait for my work to pay off. The moments when that input becomes success is one of the best feelings in the world for any business owner. I know it certainly is for me. However, that feeling only comes from consistent and well guided effort. Make inputting into your business a part of your life and a part of your journey. In time, you’ll see the rewards. Because I believe so strongly in the idea of Business Karma, I want to input into your business too.

Dental Marketing | Get More From Your Team Dental Team Training It’s clear some people go through life overwhelmed, unhappy and frustrated. It manifests in how they communicate with others. I’ve had my fair share of frustrating days, even weeks and maybe even years. The point is, we’ve all been there. I’m not pointing this out from my ivory tower. I promise you that. Running a business is no easy task. Pair that with the emotional toll of patient care and you have an environment perfect for storms. Somewhere at some point in time, advisors, speakers or educators told the doctors they should “only be doing dentistry.” Some took that to heart and anytime their business requires them to roll up their sleeves, they feel resentful. This creates a very difficult work environment for the team. Let’s face it, as a business owner, you are always going to do things that are outside of your role. Even 10 years into business with 3 graphic designers, I will occasionally fire up Photoshop and finalize some creative work. I won’t however, spend the rest of the day angry because I did a task that wasn’t “the highest and best use of my time”. If you want your employees and business advisors (you may even call us vendors, which is highly offensive) to do more for you, do these three things: Talk to your employees the way you talk to your patients. Show them appreciation. Ask them questions. Lead with respect always. It seems in business we have no problem putting our best foot forward with clients, customers, and patients, but we show our ugliest side to our team. Talk to your business advisors with the same respect you use when talking to patients. They’ll want to talk to you. They’ll want to be sure you are well cared for. People think the squeaky wheel gets the oil. Maybe that’s the case sometimes. In more cases than not, if you aren’t kind and respectful to people, they won’t want to go the extra mile for you. Get happy. Embrace the fact that you are a business owner and sometimes you need to do things that are outside of your dental degree. Learn whatever you can. Hire the right support team (both internally and in advisors). Work to get everyone else set up so that they can succeed. Know that at some point you may be able to primarily do dentistry, but it may take some time to get there. If you are miserable in your practice and feel that things have gotten out of control. It’s time to hire professionals to help organize, streamline and reenergize your business. Contact me at Grace@identitydental.com and I can help you find the right advisor. It’s never too late to make a positive change.
Dental Marketing | If I were a dentist… It’s been over a decade since I worked in a dental practice. Since then, I’ve used my own business to coach over 1,000 dentists in their growth strategies. As a result, I often find myself thinking about what I’d do in certain situations. Of course, I’m not a dentist, and it may be that none of my, “If I were a dentist…” statements matter. However, I’ve found that an outside perspective can often cause others to consider their work from a different angle. The reanalysis and improvements that come with this new perspective are why I’ve decided to share these statements with you today. Some of them may directly help you, and others may not, but they will all challenge the way you think about your business. If I were a dentist, I’d buy an existing practice from a retiring doctor. It wasn’t until last week that I realized this is not always an option. If you have a specific area in which you’re searching, there may not be many practices available. It may be a waiting game. The transition process to ownership may be less than ideal. I know financially, a start-up will almost always be a few years behind an established practice. Financially speaking, in my ideal world, I’d buy an existing practice as soon as possible. Also, this doctor would be retiring. That’s right. He or she would be “hanging up the shingle”. Whatever that means. I wouldn’t want to deal with him or her trying to take patients from his or her new location 10 miles away. If I were a dentist, I’d make it my mission to find a true manager. I’ve seen a lot of great office managers, but I’ve seen far more okay office managers. In order to be able to focus on dentistry whenever possible, I’d have to have an office manager that is a total badass. He or she would provide monthly reports, keep the team in line, handle payroll, and jump in to handle difficult patient conversations. I’d pay this person very well and they’d be a big part of why I remained sane. I’d provide leadership training and we’d make an awesome team. If I were a dentist, I’d market myself aggressively without shame. I’d market my business in a way that made sure every person in the community knew that I was an option. I’d have a monthly email newsletter and daily social media posts (done by my team) and I’d invest in SEO, PPC, Facebook, and Instagram advertising. I know that I can attract a new patient for $150-$500 and that once they’re a part of my practice, they won’t want to leave because I’d have some quirky amenities (coming later). If I were a dentist, I would not work with my spouse. I love my husband enough to know that if he’s my employee, it’ll have some damaging repercussions on our relationship. I know I’d have to maintain my position as CEO of my practice, and my manager needs to play a support role to me. I know our relationship wouldn’t support this. If I were a dentist, I’d grow to accommodate amazing associates and I’d spoil them. I’d make it very easy for a young parent to work for me. I’d give them the exact framework to fill their schedule and keep their patients happy. This would be because I’d have invested the time in creating systems for every process within my business. (For those saying this isn’t realistic, I hear you. However, I know it’s possible.) Once my business was running without me providing most of the clinical dentistry, I’d be looking to purchase my next practice. If I were a dentist, I’d host quarterly team appreciation days. We’d take a full day off 4 times per year just to get to know each other better. This single activity would create collaboration and openness beyond what you could get from an annual workshop. If I were a dentist, I’d carefully select CE events based on what applies to my annual growth plan or current pain points. I’d also do everything possible to avoid boring CE because it makes me want to punch myself in the face. If I were a dentist, I’d go live on Facebook every Wednesday to educate the community. I’d talk about things like oral cancer, the link between periodontal disease and heart disease, why your comfort matters when visiting our team, and anything that will educate. If I were a dentist, I’d dedicate one full business day every other week to work on my business systems and team training. If I were a dentist, I’d offer the following to patients: blankets, Netflix, kind welcome, office tour at first visit, to hang their coat, a bottle of water, a warm cookie when they leave (like Godley Station Dental in Georgia), my team would match and present professionally in stealthy scrubs. Most importantly, my team would act as a family, making it much easier to in turn treat patients like family. If I were a dentist, I probably would not practice clinical dentistry because I’m so deeply passionate about business. That’s likely one of the reasons I’m not a dentist. But because of that affinity for business, I can help you become a better practice owner.

Dental Marketing | Turnover: A Punch to the Gut (A true story) Dental Marketing and Dental Consulting It’s Thursday afternoon and you get a call. Your employee that called in sick is experiencing mental health issues. She’s going to need to take a medical leave. You support her, so decide to pay her for some time off. She tells you that she should be fine to return in a week. One week turns to two. Two to three. On the fourth week she quits. Friday morning you hear that another team member is taking the opportunity to take over a family business. He is giving you two weeks notice. This decision comes after losing the team member above, when workload increases while hiring process begins. It seems like a domino effect. Friday afternoon, you find out a third employee is relocating for her husband’s job in 2 weeks. Unfortunately, you just introduced her to all of your patients / clients after she assured you a move was not even a remote possibility. Monday morning, a new hire decides she doesn’t like the type of work she is doing. She quits without notice. Her stifling perfectionism had her paralyzed and her contribution was minimal to begin with, but now the turnover hurts the morale of the rest of the team. More dominos fall. Even for a well-organized, positive leader, this 2 month span felt like a gut punch. That’s right. This happened to me last year. It happened right after I let go of a couple people that I felt were no longer a fit. We were almost completely restaffing overnight. At this time, I did have a couple amazing team members who have been with me for years and my husband, whose work experience is in recruiting. These three people stuck by my side and helped me make sure all the work was done and done well. Each of us had complimentary skills and worked together like I didn’t believe possible. We carried the workload and overcame one of the most stressful obstacles of business ownership. Maybe it happened because of karma. When I let go of a few people, maybe I should have invested more time in their development instead of letting them go. I definitely should have become more comfortable with difficult conversations sooner. I used to put off tough talks until I was beyond the point of return. Maybe it happened because I wanted to give even the most unqualified applicant an opportunity and hired with my heart instead of my head. (Thankfully, I’m no longer in charge of hiring.) Regardless, this time spurred intense introspection and growth. In the following weeks, we completely restaffed. With our systems, training and leadership team already in place, we made for a quick transition to building an amazing team. Not a task was forgotten or dropped and 4 people did the work of 10, and we did it very well. That doesn’t mean we loved life in those moments, but we got through it. Yes, the turnover was stressful. The restaffing was challenging, as some new team members were a fit and some were not. However, it was the most powerful time of growth I’ve ever experienced as a leader. It also made it clear that when you have loyal people who truly have the best interest of the business and your clients’ businesses in place, that you can get through anything. Perfection is not attainable. Growth has to be a daily pursuit. There’s opportunity in every situation, even those that feel like a crisis. If you can roll up your sleeves, make a plan and hire the missing support pieces, you’ll be strong and able to weather any storm. If you’ve never been through something like this, that’s wonderful. I don’t wish it upon anyone. I can say however, I wouldn’t go back and change it. When a person leaves, opportunities to improve surface, leaving your organization even stronger and ready for its next challenge. If you need assistance with staffing, recruiting, team training or system creation, please contact me at grace@identitydental.com. I can connect you with the right fit resource for you. I’ve had a couple business coaches that I adore and would be more than happy to connect you.
Dental Marketing | Parenting and Business Leadership Parallels Business Leadership Dental Marketing and Parenting More than 5 years ago when I first became a parent, I remember feeling a great deal of pressure to choose between business and family. I chose both and I’m so glad I did. As my family was growing, so was my business and I found that all too often the lessons learned at home actually made me a much stronger leader at work, and vice versa. When my eldest daughter needs to get dressed for school, get ready for bed, clean up toys, or do just about anything, I have to convince her. Sometimes she even says, “okay” and then goes back to playing. It can be frustrating, however, convincing my stubborn daughter to do what she needs to do has made my verbal persuasion skills strong. I’ve learned that if I don’t share a compelling reason as to why she needs to get something done, she won’t take action. This is very similar to interactions with employees. Once a person understands on a strong level why a (sometimes seemingly insignificant) step must be completed fully, they begin to deem it as important. Sharing your “why” can be enough for some children and employees. However, thanks to my first daughter, I’ve also learned that others may need more. Hearing what would happen if the given task is not completed turned out to be that “more”. Now, in business and at home I don’t like utilizing fear tactics. With my daughter, however, I would have never been able to get her to brush her teeth without showing her photos of rotten teeth. She had to see for herself what would happen if her teeth were not brushed. This holds true for some employees too. As leaders, both at home and at the office, we must share not only why a task or responsibility is important, but also that the consequences of neglecting that responsibility go far beyond a simple “time-out”, or professional disciplinary action. Even the smallest of oversights can have a monumental impact on the business I look back at feeding my firstborn when she was 1-3 and remember begging and pleading for her to eat. I remember bribing, making “fun” looking snacks and food, and implementing countless sales tactics that just didn’t work. It wasn’t until I let her become a part of the process that she would eat. I let her stir the pot of oatmeal or crack the egg. Whatever food she made naturally tasted better to her. She took pride in her work. When I sit down to recreate systems at the office or re-delegate responsibilities, I understand the importance of having each team member take an active role in the decision-making process. A similar idea comes into play when training employees in a new skill. Just like teaching my children to ride a bike, writing business manuals for seemingly simple tasks must include clear step by step instruction. I know that to truly learn a skill, the trainee must actually take the steps themselves, not just watch others. Everything we learn in life can be reapplied to everything else, and business is no exception. The next time someone questions how you’ll be able to run your business as a parent or involved grandparent, tell them it’ll only make you better, more compassionate, more loving, more forgiving and more supportive. From experience, I can tell you that these skills are much more important to the success of your business than some may think.
Dental Marketing | It’s Time to Try New Things A lot of people consider marketing to be something that is set up and then forgotten about. You’ve designed your website, you’ve got SEO up and running, and maybe you even have a few ads put in place. You’re done with your marketing now, right? Wrong. Marketing is always changing and adapting to better target changing audiences. Using Instagram to promote a brand was unheard of 10 years ago, remember? Often times, the people that are brave enough to try new things before everyone else is on board tend to get better results. As these new spaces fill up, competition becomes much higher. This ultimately means that you have to pay more for exposure. You can play it safe, and still get great results for your practice. But if you’re looking to get more from your marketing, it pays to be brave. By trying new techniques and new platforms, you have the opportunity to dominate a space with creative, high-quality products. For example, relatively new to the scene are Facebook Stories. These are a fast-paced, punchy version of facebook that’s more fun and more engaging. But nearly no one is taking advantage of this update to advertise their services. If you’re interested in trying something new, we have even more ideas. We can help take what you already have and leverage it in a new way, on a new platform, or make something brand new together. Contact Identity Dental Marketing today to get started on something new.
Dental Marketing | Crippling Self-Doubt Embraced as Perfectionism In the past 5 years, I’ve made a regular effort to let go of perfectionism. Perfectionism at some level is alive and well in all of us, no matter how much we’ve retrained our brains. Some of our primal instincts have us hardwired to seek approval from others. We’re built to desire inclusion and praise. From the time of early childhood, we have had teachers and parents teaching us how to survive and exist in society. If we didn’t learn to listen to parents, running in the street or playing with power outlets could have threatened our survival. By realizing how our perfectionism is triggered, we become much stronger in moving past it as quickly as possible. This is how rapid growth occurs, both personally and professionally. If you’re a recovering perfectionist like me, you may want to consider the following phrases and how they set you back. Perfectionism can appear as a feeling. It can be the crippling anxiety that leads you into a quick meeting with your supervisor or an interview. It can be the reason you don’t finish a project or goal. Perfectionism is often sitting on your lap when you’re about to push the “live” button on Facebook. It can be difficult to overcome the feelings associated with perfectionism, however, it’s not impossible. When you recognize that you’re being held back by the “P-word”, replace it with another P-word. Progress. Every single day I remind myself that progress is most important. The next time I find myself experiencing self-doubt, I simply say, “Progress over Perfectionism,” and it gets me moving. Here are examples of the thoughts you may think that actually stunt your progress and keep you in a place of self-doubt. “I’ll start doing public speaking once I have 10 years of experience in consulting.” “I’ve learned to place implants but I’m not ready to offer this to patients until I have more experience. I don’t have time to get experience because I’m busy treating patients.” “I’ll go live on Facebook later when my makeup looks better.” “I can’t just switch careers now.” “I’ll start dating when the time is right. Of course, I want to be with someone special, but I’m not ready (for potential rejection).” “I’ll refund all your money because I’m afraid of someone not liking me.” When you experience perfectionism in your day to day life, remember it’s not a positive attribute. In order to experience progress, we all must recondition ourselves to overcome this part of human nature. If you’re wearing your perfectionism as a badge of honor, it’s time to let it go and get going. If you’ve ever been hesitant to put yourself out there through marketing because you’re afraid of what your colleagues will think, let it go. You deserve to experience life without the shackles of being perfect.
Dental Marketing | Scaling with Integrity As a small business owner who has grown her business slowly and intentionally in the past decade, I’ve realized a few things that can be powerful to the first time business owner. The first is that it’s crucial to never outgrow what you can accommodate. I’ve seen companies come and go in the dental world with one goal alone: to scale and sell as quickly as possible. You’ve seen them too. They’re typically backed by investors with deep pockets. Early on in my career, I must admit that I related “big” with “bad”. After all, in order to feed dozens of hungry salespeople and affiliates, there must be an insane markup, leaving the customer to pay. I’ve personally suffered the pain of being locked into a contract for a service or product that was no longer needed or producing a positive return on investment. It was upsetting every day and I found myself counting down to freedom, with more excitement than the countdown to my next vacation. Now, as I look back as a more seasoned (very small) business owner, I realize that I’ve been doing it wrong. My perspective of big business has been jaded by my own personal experiences. I’m embarrassed to admit instead of seeking out the big businesses doing it right and studying those, I categorized them all as bad. I’ve taken pride in slow growth and personalized attention, but expansion and excellent service can happen in tandem. Before I jump into sharing all of the amazing things I’ve seen being done by big(ger) dental businesses, I want to start by saying this on the record: Any business, no matter the size, is going to experience growing pains. Some more damaging than others. With higher risk tolerance, comes bigger mistakes. It also seems that those who fail the most and recover the strongest grow the fastest. You may still share my sentiment that bigger isn’t better, but I want to challenge you to think differently on this for a few reasons. Firstly, I want you to be able to experience the joy that comes with ethical, accelerated growth. It can be very fun. Secondly, I want you to be able to serve more people while leading with integrity. Lastly, you deserve to escape the daily nitty-gritty and operate as a true CEO, which can only happen when you grow to the level of having multiple levels of leadership. If you’re like me and have been doing similar work for 10+ years (or perhaps you just came to this realization sooner than me), that last point is exciting. Here are a few characteristics of those who scale with integrity: They know their brand and make sure their team embraces and shares their message, values, and processes. Have you ever met a team and thought to yourself, ” They’re all so (fill in the blank). I can distinctly remember meeting 3-4 people on a team thinking, “They’re all so complimentary.” It was as if they’d been trained in compliment giving and ego-boosting. I say this and it sounds like I was turned off to it or that it seemed insincere, but it didn’t. It was actually quite the opposite. The small compliments, high energy, and professionalism shared by every single employee on this particular team made me want to do business with them. They evolve. The companies that grow quickly and maintain their integrity have to be investing in improvements. I see some marketing agencies still pushing direct mail and the same templated websites they sold 8 years ago and wonder how they’ve managed to stay in business. If you’re going to grow at a pace that can qualify as “scaling”, you’ll have to be critically evaluating your service offerings, methods, and marketing to ensure you’re the best option for your target market. They have guts. They don’t sweat the small stuff. They know that part of being in business means they’ll encounter the following: a legal issue, a bad review, two timing employees, unethical competition, and so much more. However, they know each obstacle is just a part of the game. They won’t wallow in the negativity and will focus immediately on how to turn each situation into an opportunity. They’re willing to invest. I know many business people operating around the 1m-2m in revenue mark who are unwilling to take a risk and grow. Their marketing is minimal and safe. They’ll always remain very small business owners and that’s ok. It can be challenging to change if you’ve operated in this space for many years. After all, if you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. If you’re happy, that’s ok. They realize growth and integrity are not mutually exclusive. The theory that bigger is not better may resonate with many of us small business owners. Let’s face it though, that’s something small business owners say because they didn’t like the growing pains listed in number 3. There’s nothing wrong with intentionally staying small if you are happier with a small business. Let’s not chalk it up to big is bad, just because we know of some big, bad entities we’d prefer to avoid. I fought an internal struggle for a long time about whether or not I’d represent group practices. I knew that 98% of my business is made up of small dental business owners looking to grow, but remain a single doctor, privately owned entity. I also know that many of my amazing clients see DSOs as the enemy. This is because many DSO owned and operated businesses are not integrity focused. When this happens on a large scale, it becomes very obvious to communities and dentists. They see unnecessary dentistry, high-pressure sales tactics, and advertising at a level they feel they could never afford. Unfortunately, what many don’t realize is this: No matter the size of your organization, you can operate with integrity or without integrity. Currently, I work with a few doctor-owned group practices and a couple of true DSOs. So far, I do see a very different need from the group practices. Communication, delivery of service, and solutions offered all change when you reach about six locations. It’s pretty obvious if a business is not patient-centric and employee-centric. In these instances, I will choose not to represent a business. This stands for any size organization. If you’re like me and growth excites and motivates you, you’ll want to consider how you can grow with integrity. Look for the examples of companies that have scaled and maintain an amazing culture, innovative solutions and help many people. Set your goals as you go and don’t be afraid to choose small or choose big. In life, we have to choose what makes us happy. If integrity is at the core of your every move, you’ll build something beautiful that will benefit many deserving people. If you’re at a point in your career where you’d like to experience growth that would make an impact on your team and family, contact me at grace@identitydental.com. If you’d like to grow slowly and intentionally, I can help you with that too.
Dental Marketing | Do You Allow Yourself to Grow? We’re pretty open here at Identity Dental Marketing. But one thing we can’t stand is the phrase, “I’ll do it when”. “I’ll do it when I have the right team behind me” “I’ll do it when there are better opportunities” And our personal favorite, “I’ll do it when I have more time.” The truth is, you’re never going to get more time. The 24 hours we have today are the same 24 hours you’ll have five years from now. In that five years you could sit and wait, wondering when. Or, you could spend that five years working hard to reach your biggest dreams. We firmly believe that it is never a bad time to grow your practice or your business. Too often, people prevent themselves from growing by thinking they don’t have what they need to succeed. It’s not a matter of not having what you need, but instead is entirely about thinking it has to be perfect to get started. That’s right. Perfectionism is the number one dream killer we see for our clients, our friends, and even ourselves. The good news is, you don’t have to let perfectionism prevent you from growing. In fact, it’s easier than you might think. It’s all about learning to get smarter with your time. Plan, Create, and Delegate Often times we hold ourselves back because we think that we have to do everything. “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself” or so the adage goes. But, if you adhere to this like a stubborn bulldog, you can only get so far. You shouldn’t be your entire team. Find the people that support your business as much as you do, and understand that with the right training, they are capable of doing excellent work. If finding those kinds of people is proving to be difficult, don’t let this stop you either. Your hiring process isn’t working? Don’t hesitate to rip it up and start again. Action is better than inaction at any level. Even if it’s not perfect, you can get the ball rolling (see our blog about building momentum in your practice). Whether it’s social media marketing, expanding your team, or growing your practice to multiple locations or doctors, you have everything you need to get started today. For help with implementation, training and growing, we’re here to help you. Contact us today and change that “I’ll do it when” to “I’ll do it now”.
