    Ep 138: Getting More 5-Star Patient Reviews with Dr. Len Tau

    Before a new patient reaches your office, before they even schedule an appointment, they do a search online to learn more about you. When they search, does your dental office make a good first impression? Do you show up toward the top of search results? Do you have positive reviews and a 4 or 5-star rating? If not, it’s time to build a stronger online reputation. With over 1,600 reviews and a 4.9 rating for his own dental office, Dr. Len Tau learned that positive reviews were an enormous source of new patient growth for his practice. He now teaches dentists and teams how to improve their own online presence with smart marketing and social media strategies. In this episode of The Double Your Production Podcast, Dr. Tau is sharing his best tips for boosting reviews and attracting more new patients into your practice. We’re also thrilled to announce that Dr. Tau will be joining us at our upcoming Summit in Austin, TX to talk about how to increase 5-star reviews and grow your practice.

    Ep 137: The Biggest Profitability Mistakes in Dentistry

    Most practice owners focus on 3 key numbers in their office: production, collections, and number of new patients. While these numbers are important to the success of the business, there's one crucial figure missing… profitability.  If you're not paying attention to profitability, you will likely end up with cash flow issues, difficulties making payroll, and stress around paying bills. You could face challenges if you want to take out a loan or sell the business. Profits keep the lights on, so it’s important to monitor the profitability of your dental office. In this episode of The Double Your Production Podcast, Dr. John Meis and Wendy Briggs are sharing their best advice for turning a profit each month. If practice profitability isn’t where it should be, now is the time to address it. For help with profitability, schedule a call with our team (https://www.theteamtraininginstitute.com/book-a-call) Also, consider joining us at our upcoming Champions of Dentistry Summit in Austin, TX where our focus will be on quickly improving the profitability of your practice: https://www.theteamtraininginstitute.com/summit

    Ep 136: Rethinking the Phones with Richard May

    The reliability of the phone system is a huge part of dental practice success. While many patients are able to schedule online or via text message, phones remain the most popular way to communicate with patients and their family members. If calls aren’t being answered consistently enough or conversations don’t flow smoothly, patient concerns can fall through the cracks leaving gaps in the schedule, unanswered questions, and missed opportunities to provide care. Today, Dr. John and Wendy are joined by Richard May of Mango to talk about how dental teams can make big improvements to their phone processes and better connect with patients. With some tech assistance, managing the phones becomes much easier and practices can prevent the frustration many patients experience when trying to get a hold of their dental office.
