Episode 41: You're Not Competing With The Dentist Down The Street, You're Competing With "I'll Do It Later"

from Marketing Minute 4 Dentists · host Kyle OConnor

Yes, I know it's four words. This week Kyle reframes something most dental practices get wrong. When the schedule has holes, the instinct is to look at the competition. The new practice down the road, the DSO spending a fortune on ads. But that's not what's keeping patients out of your chair. The real competition is procrastination. Kyle breaks down why "I'll do it later" is the single biggest source of lost revenue in dentistry and walks through four specific ways to beat it: reducing friction to book, following up on unscheduled treatment, making reactivation outreach personal and removing the emotional barrier that keeps patients from picking up the phone.
