“People assume the quality of your marketing reflects the quality of your dentistry.Remember, a sincere story is NOT manipulating or tricking people to come to you — it’s giving real people a chance to voluntarily attach to you because they like you and believe you.Moving faster than your competition makes it impossible for them to overtake you.Practices with a bad culture are often hemorrhaging patients, and they desperately rely on any new patient inflow just to stay in business.Give your patients the VIP treatment — not the DMV treatment!Your brand is people’s opinions and feelings about your practice, built by their experiences with it.The right message, to the right audience, can be like a seismic hammer blow, driving your brand’s barbed “claim stake” deeply into their minds.Every tasteful instance of your logo throughout your practice is adding another string to the rope which anchors your patients to your brand.-Rusty”
