\"\"Why You Need To Exit the Implant Case Sales Game – Part 3<\/h1>\n

Even if you are an elite clinician, your personal odds of having significant success at treating a lot of cases is terrible, so what\u2019s the solution?<\/p>\n

Here are the facts about sales as it relates to the profession and implant dentists:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Implant dentists and the profession as a whole we are \u2018hacks\u2019 at selling our best services; especially with cases that cost as much as automobiles.<\/li>\n
  2. Only 15% every get proficient at this important part of the business of implants and that is with years of work.<\/li>\n
  3. Your (and my) weaknesses are for all intents and purposes unchangeable and will never turn into our strengths.<\/li>\n
  4. 85% of those contemplating or buying major implant advertising or even just reading this seriously have no chance at being component in selling their full arch implant services<\/a> consistently.<\/li>\n
  5. A lot of doctors follow a \u2018siren\u2019s call\u2019 and invest significantly in implant advertising while agencies and marketing companies are \u201cnot truly forthcoming\u201d (AKA they lie) about the odds of success these businesses face.<\/li>\n
  6. At least one good outcome of this is clinicians often just get better and better and better at their implant skills which is the big picture great for patients who do enter treatment.<\/li>\n
  7. While special titles and academic designations do benefit patients, none of those things unto themselves make a difference to most patients.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Many readers may feel a bit depressed over these facts but I\u2019m here to tell you that it\u2019s actually a very positive thing to understand the situation objectively because that means workable answers can be found that solve this issue for your practice, your business, and to reduce risk to making the leap into major advertising so that you can move on to helping far more patients with implants than you do at this moment.<\/p>\n

    Today, let\u2019s talk about what has sort of worked to correct these \u2018forever\u2019 problems in implant advertising that related to sales failures by the doctors and teams.<\/p>\n

    What Worked In the Past…<\/h2>\n

    What was the pre-pandemic solution to sales issues (well unless you were one of the national implant centers)?<\/p>\n

    In a nutshell, historically the very best agencies trained and\/or provided some advice in sales and sales management because of how important sales outcomes are for advertising returns. As a stark example, one practice getting the same type of leads from the same ad budget would close $500K in a month and another would say \u201cno patient will buy.\u201d The only difference between the two were the sales capabilities. As such, it was clear some level of sales training had to be provided just for us to sleep well at night.<\/p>\n

    Early on when I started the company, we literally were the only agency providing any sales advice and any sales management. It was so far \u2018out there,\u2019 we were considered crazy to focus on this as an advertising agency. We used to give nine-month long sales training courses since I falsely believed that everyone we interacted with could elevate themselves (and wanted to elevated), their teams, themselves, and their processes to a high level of sales performance. This optimism turns out to be completely out of touch with the DNA of most clinician\u2019s as we have already discussed.<\/p>\n

    …Won’t Work In the Future<\/h2>\n

    Over the years, we scaled back to where sales training became a two-day intensive course and we just accepted that some doctors would indeed have it in their DNA to take what they were handed and run and others would run off a cliff as that\u2019s just how the business worked. Besides we were still providing something that no one else in the industry was even close to being capable of regardless of their puffery on the subject. All of these efforts for us came directly out of my experience selling cases year after year personally.<\/p>\n

    [A bit of foreshadowing \u2013 today we know that what the dentist and TPC really needs to know and do for sales when a remote sales team supports them can be handled in a few hours of online preparation and in a half day live intensive training. Most of the set-up for successful selling can be shifted off-site and in some cases due to in-house staffing issues a remote TPC (what is really a sales closer) can zoom in to close the case with the doctor in the consult room which means 98% of sales has been “remoted” away from the clinical team.]<\/p>\n

    The majority of agencies, marketing companies, and marketing \u2018gurus\u2019 have followed a different tact (and they still do) in dealing with this sales elephant squashing cases. Their approach is to simply ignore the issue. \u201cIf we don\u2019t talk about it, then it doesn\u2019t exist.\u201d A few, not only ignore this but they focus on heavily discount fee advertising with gimmicky countdown clocks on low priced offers in an hope that some patients will buy without any sales process or skills in the business! In other words, since we won\u2019t even talk about what sales is doing, we\u2019ll simply slash prices and let the doctor figure out if the overhead is supported.<\/p>\n

    A New Approach<\/h2>\n

    Out of hundreds of clients all getting the same prospects and sales trainings, 15% of doctors and teams are found to be hard-wired to be great at sales and with training, intense desire, dedication, and coaching, can and do develop good sales behaviors and build reasonably good sales team in-house but these doctors and owners have always been the outliers.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Complicating this, even for the outliers, is the fact that MVP staff who occasionally excel at sales do leave practices which essentially resets the business back to zero in sales acumen. The pandemic made this last scenario more common. The pandemic and post pandemic labor market has also made it nearly impossible to find and hire team members with sales backgrounds regardless of the salary being offered. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    As an example, we have one advertising member client practice in a Top 10 metro market offering $125K for a full-time salesperson and they can\u2019t get applicants qualified for the job! Those who do a trial the work bomb out because they\u2019ve over-inflated their capabilities!<\/p>\n

    Sadly, up until quite recently, no advertising agency<\/a> or marketing company out there had any solution to this except for either A) constantly asking that the practice go through sales trainings and reinforcements (guilty as charged!), B) washing their hands from sales and telling the practice to simply do fee discounting since \u2018some people will aways buy at a lower price\u2019 ($13,9997 full arch care anyone?!?), or C) ignoring\/not discussing this problem knowing that it will take out most of their clients after a period of months of their on-boarding with their agencies (95% of all agencies\/marketers).<\/p>\n

    That last item is the normal \u2013 MOST advertising companies don\u2019t want you to understand any of this as they don\u2019t have solutions for you! It is the dirty secret never discussed.<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Next time, we\u2019ll go on to how thanks to the pandemic, most of the heavy lifting with sales can be moved off-sit to professionally trained salespeople to support your practice.<\/p>\n
