I\u2019ve been fortunate enough, to not only hang around Joe Polish (right), who is one of the best marketers on the planet but also to have Dan Sullivan who founded Strategic Coach in my personal marketing\/sales coaching group.\u00a0 It\u2019s being around people like this that translate into more \u201cninja\u201d for our members with marketing that wins the day in the profession.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s one last tidbit for today in my dental consulting series\u2014-when thinking about who you want to serve in your practice, think about what kind of patients do you want to be the hero to.\u00a0 Whoever you want to be the hero to should be the patient you seek out, sell to, and ultimately take the check from.\u00a0 This one concept can go a long way to driving your marketing and sales decision.<\/p>\n
