Do you work one day a week for no production and profit? A study by the Levin Group Data Center shows that practices that are experiencing a new level of scheduling problems and breakdown are most likely not following strict scheduling policies. Practices tend to go through ups and downs in regard to following policies because they begin to make exceptions for certain situations and the exceptions tend to grow. When you start to experience a scheduling breakdown, review your scheduling policies and encourage everyone to follow them to the letter.

Advice for the Endodontist – Come to terms with the need to “sell” dentistry. As a dental professional, you may well feel uncomfortable with the idea of promoting your services. However, as a business owner seeking to grow in a tough economy, you must attract and retain more patients and motivate them to accept beneficial treatment. With the right systems and techniques, you and your staff can accomplish this while maintaining your professional standards.

Referral Marketing Strategy Tip: A marketing coordinator is essential. If you don’t have a marketing coordinator you’re making a critical mistake. Marketing is one of those activities that is easy to put off for the problem or crisis of the day. Busy practices can’t rely on front desk staff, hygienists, or even doctors to address all of the daily marketing. Hire a marketing coordinator to focus on effective marketing so you can focus on excellent care.

Plan for emergencies. Every dental practice has emergencies that can ruin the practice schedule for the day. The good news is that you can plan for them.

Referral Marketing Strategy Tip: Be a problem solver. When practices refer to your practice they want excellent care and no problems. If the patient is unhappy they’ll report back to the referring practice. This is the last thing your referring doctors want to hear.

Advice for the Endodontist – Set clear expectations. To perform well, team members need to know what they are supposed to accomplish. Providing staff accurate job descriptions helps them fully understand what they will be held accountable for. If specific tasks need to be completed on a certain day, the dentist should convey that information to staff members during the morning meeting.
