Dental Practice Advice from Dr. McAnally on American Idol? Some doctors have seen the Facebook picture of me with Ms. Paula Abdul and asked if I auditioned for American Idol! Fat chance! While I do DJ and produce original electronic music tracks, singing is not my strong point! But....I was invited to participate in a private marketing meeting with Paula and what I learned allows me to give better dental practice advice to program members. ...I revealed and learned a lot that day. It's just this kind of meeting of individuals in different non-dental industries [...]

In Dental Practice Advice-the easy days are over for Dentistry In the dental practice advice series I will touch on why the good ole' days are over. The a life saying, "what got you here won't get you there" has been a pretty good truism for a long time and under the current realities it has become a bottom line fact for where dentists stand with what they face for the coming 20 years of practice.... I've talked before about average being over for the middle classes in the U.S. Those not moving beyond average [...]

Dental Practice Advice and The Real Cost of Dental CE

james2024-06-21T22:38:57-04:00

Dental Practice Advice and The Real Cost of Dental CE In my dental practice advice series, lets talk about the Real Cost of Dental CE Dental CE is great. It's the path that unlocks all kinds of ways to serve your patients better IF it's thought through. Most dentists don't think anything through carefully regardless of whether it's CE or not. That's the simple truth--wish it wasn't but it is what it is. When it comes to CE, most dentists really don't understand what they are paying for, getting, or will ever use based on [...]

Dental Practice Marketing-Kodak Death Watch

james2024-06-21T22:38:44-04:00

Dental Practice Marketing-Kodak Death Watch While discussing dental practice marketing and how it is a must in this economy, lets look at Kodak, Dollar Stores, and Your Choices. I've watched the series of plunges and gradual descent into economic hell by Koday Corp since the dawn of the digital camera. In corporate time lines, it's been a very quick race from market giant to ineffectual pipsqueak. There are some serious things to learn from this for every dentist out there. Yet, most will barely pay attention to this headline or to other even more pertinent [...]

Dental Practice Advice-Thanksgiving and the Harvard Study Part I

james2024-06-21T22:37:29-04:00

Dental Practice Advice-Thanksgiving and the Harvard Study Part I At this time of year in my dental practice advice series I would like to touch on a recent Harvard study. Happy Thanksgiving! Still one of my favorites even though I now enjoy it with frozen margaritas and cold smoked turkey on the beach. No snow, no leaves to pick-up, and no funny pilgrim suits. THE END IS NEAR The year rapidly closing out. In spite of the changed economy, in which most generalists are suffering, our members upgrading their ethical selling abilities are having some [...]

Ethical Selling Dentistry and the science of Amost Tversky

james2024-06-21T22:37:16-04:00

Ethical Selling Dentistry and the science of Amost Tversky Amost Tversky's behavioral science can be applied to ethical selling dentistry. How much behavioral science do you understand and use to help your patients? I bet you’ve never heard of Amos Tversky and his studies are probably as important right now to you as G.V. Black’s were to dentists a billion years ago. During my podium presentation at the AAID meeting recently, I administered the Amos Tversky survival and loss/benefit test to the audience. Previous test subjects showed that when presented with health care options from [...]

Dental Practice Marketing-What to Know about Social Media Like Facebook

Dental Practice Marketing-What to Know about Social Media Like Facebook Why Social Media is NOT the starting point for dental practice marketing. Every practice has a limited amount of energy, dollars, and, one very finite element that is precious and non-renewable-Time! The reality is every “new patient” strategy, every strategy that creates prospective patients and patients for silos of business in the practice (cosmetics, sedation, dental implants, TMJ, apnea, etc.) must all be looked at from the standpoint of how many of these resources are devoured. Currently Facebook™ is something that a fair number of [...]

Independent Dentist and The Permanent Dental Recession

james2024-06-21T22:35:48-04:00

Independent Dentist and The Permanent Dental Recession For the Independent Dentist here is Economic Reality We recently went through a recession and it's possible depending on whose economic tea leaves that we're headed to another dip into two consecutive quarters of negative growth. Whether the double dip becomes reality or not is really irrelevant because we're in the midst of an economic change just as big as the one brought on by the industrial age. For a year, I've been talking about something called an economic "Value creation funk" being at the root of our [...]
