What’s the most predictable rejection line in dental case presentations and how do you prevent it?
‘I need to go home and talk to my spouse about it.’ You will hear this line every time the spouse or financial decider is missing from the case presentation. It is the most predictable outcome in dental sales. Patients are not equipped to relay the full case discussion to an absent partner. They will summarize poorly, miss the key benefit points, and almost certainly underprice the urgency. The partner will say no. The case dies. Prevent this by identifying the decider on the initial phone call, scheduling the consultation only when both parties can attend, and rescheduling if the decider is unavailable. Refusing to present without the decider feels uncomfortable. The discomfort is worth more than the lost case.
If the answers you are finding here resonate with you, my team and I work with a small group of clients each year. The next step is a complimentary Discovery Consultation and Practice Review with Dr. McAnally.
