Your killing your dental practice

Your killing your dental practice

“Too many bad consultants, paper pushers and donut delivery salesman are focused on the price of dental supplies.

When you focus on reducing your costs/ it’s NOT about finding the cheapest products from the cheapest dealer, and hiring the people who will work for you the cheapest….the highest earning practices have the highest paid team members - use the highest quality products, employ the most up to date expensive brand name equipment…and they thrive! “

Death of a Dental Salesman

Chat GPT will likely replace the dental salesman, but I don’t believe it will ever replace the dental consultant.

Flux it.

The world is always in a state of flux. Corporations are taking over private dentistry, consolidation happens in many industries. The stock market and the economy - constant state of flux.

How bean counters kill entrepreneurs

How bean counters kill entrepreneurs

The Beancounter in your life may not be a CPA. They may not be an accountant. They could very well be your mom or your dad, your sister or your brother, maybe your best friend or your spouse. People that are afraid to take risk and only way the consequences in money don’t understand what money is created for. It is created to work for us, and the entrepreneur understands that and that’s a very good job of creating it

How do you become the G.O.A.T. of your profession? In my opinion you only need to be the G.O.A.T. of your own life

Sales people suck!! Are you a sales person…we all are, kinda.

Sales people suck!! Are you a sales person…we all are, kinda.

Ice to an Eskimo - it’s a famous saying, and it is not a compliment. To some people it is - for me it means the person is selfish, and is typical of how we tend to train “salespeople” - motivated to sell more, whether the person needs it or not and move on quickly to the next sale so they can reach an unrealistic goal.

Becoming rich..or wealthy…or happy

Becoming rich..or wealthy…or happy

How successful is your connect should be a measurement based on your own goals, and not a comparison to others. Some of the most successful clinics I know have higher overhead and lower gross income than others and yet the owners would not change a thing.

Associate dentists buying in issues.

Associate dentists buying in issues.

Should a strong associate get a discount for purchasing the clinic they helped establish? Thinking from a sellers point of view as well as appreciating the hard work of your associate is a balancing act.

Life is 10% what happens and 90% how you react

Is this really the worse time to be in dentistry, or can you identify the benefits. Every business has challenges - and it will never get easier! If it was easier, the challenge would be even more real as many more people would be able to “step up”. How you face the challenges will determine your future.

Nitrile gloves and plasticized products take decades to biodegrade. The imprint we are leaving is destroying our environment. We can and need to make changes.

It didn’t cost you anything until you ate it!

Those products you just out in your shelf - they could be your worst enemy to your bottom line. But not likely. It’s likely that you are stressed and worried and forgetting how talented you are and haven’t learned to market yourself, or train yourself and your team to become excellent and productive. You haven’t realized that this quality of product you buy and install (supplies) is actually capable of making your day better.

Proud to be a loser

Proud to be a loser

For 36 years I have chased the goal of being the #1 rep in Canada. Although I’ve hit many milestones- the way the goal is measured now makes it difficult to align with my own. I am going to enjoy my OWN version of success in dentistry and life. The way that I want. You should as well. Don’t measure yourself only by standards of others. Measure by your own.

Excellent dentistry is CHEAP!

Excellent dentistry is CHEAP!

We have all learned a lesson about getting what you paid for. We preach it to others - yet we turn around ourselves and google something we need, become experts via the internet and then make purchasing decisions that way...excellent dentistry is about long lasting, predictable results delivered with less labour. It’s TIMEfactors...

Buy supplies direct! We don’t need salesman!

Buy supplies direct! We don’t need salesman!

I agree with you, you don’t need a salesman. Do you need somebody who knows your business, that can help you out, that isn’t trying to sell you something to pad their pockets. That has a goal of a lifetime relationship

Why we hate salesmen...why we love dentists

Everybody is a salesman. Regardless of how you view yourself, in order to gain the trust of another person - they must first believe in you. How you convey this message and act upon this message says a lot about your ultimate success.

It’s time to Pivot!

It’s time to Pivot!

There’s never been a better time than today to be in dentistry. There is incredible and easy access to education. There’s techniques and skills they used to be the domain a specialist that are becoming mainstream. Digital is offering completely new business opportunities. How is this like apple? How is this like YouTube that used to be a dating app?

Moats or Bridges? DSO, Smile Direct, dental supplies and the future of our business

Innovative people don’t build “moats”, they recognize ways to build bridges! Entrepreneurs are always finding ways to leap over moats built by the kingdoms to bring their prizes to the masses! Give the people what they want.
