Dentists are always looking to bring in new patients. The best way to bring in new patients is by asking your current satisfied customers to tell 1 other person about your practice and what they like about it. You also should consistently contact your roster list of clients who have not yet received follow up care.
Ideally if you can hire a part time telemarketer in the evening for about 3 hours, this is sufficient enough time to bring in new clients that are in need of your dental services.
By hiring a telemarketer , you will need to contact each patient and discuss their current dental difficulties. Once this is covered with the patient then you can discuss the benefits of additional dental care and ask for an appointment to come in to get it taken care of.
At this point have your telemarketer inform the client in regards to dental wellness education. This is very important for your practice gives your office the ability to be known as a problem solver and important part of the community.
Another way to bring in additional clients is to set up an office seminar series. An in-office dental seminar displays the dentists ability to apply itself to various dental conditions and helps to soothe the client's unease regarding dental practice treatments and make them aware there are now pain free services available.
The seminar topics can cover subjects such as updated nutritional help for specified dental conditions and integrating movement into a patient's daily life. Your seminar can also cover dental health and maintenance.
Your dental seminar can also tailor special topics based on specific patient needs.
Exhibiting your practice at a health fair is a great way to showcase your business to the public.
A health fair gives your business direct access to the public and allows you to meet potential clients and at the same time show the benefits of receiving dental care. .
Local hospitals, city newspapers, colleges all are great sources to find out when the next dental health fair will be in your area.
If cost is an issue and your practice does not have the cash flow to put together an adequate marketing program you may want to consider a bank loan. An average marketing budget and run as low as $2000 or as high as $10,000 a month. Please realize you must spend wisely to get the best return on investment.
If you have a new practice with at least 4 months in business and 3 months of verifiable revenue, you will qualify for a cash flow or bank statement loan through a bank statement loans program. Contact Ed Rogers at Small Business Loans Depot 919-771-4177 to learn more details.
