Patients think they can wait it out because you haven\u2019t made it important enough<\/p>\n<p>2. Patients don\u2019t believe you (which is a real problem)<\/p>\n<p>3. Patients don\u2019t value the benefits or outcome that you are telling them about<\/p>\n<p>4. Patients do not feel the money is worth it because of all three of the first points<\/p>\n<p>Pretty much that is it.\u00a0 If it\u2019s not important, if it\u2019s not believed, if it\u2019s not worth it then of course I\u2019m going to say no to giving you money because I\u2019d rather have the money then have the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>If you study everything my team and I provide you (and you really take the structure and psychology of the patient engagement seriously), then you will never run into these issues.<\/p>\n<p>You have to ask yourself: are you doing enough to overcome these situations in the patients\u2019 minds BEFORE they bring them up themselves?\u00a0 Realize that patients will never bring up anything specific they will just say&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to think about it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to talk with my spouse\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t afford it\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot right now\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaybe next time\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Overcoming these is about being proactive and having an experience that builds so much support and preponderance of proof that they can\u2019t use these excuses.<\/p>\n<p>If they do, then you must be ready with the following strategies that will always overcome every major objection (especially any of these)\u2026<\/p>\n<p>1<sup>st<\/sup> This can be used ideally before you ever get an objection but also if you do have a patient try to rebuttal treatment\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You tell them why it is important and what you would like to see them accomplish.\u00a0 You want to give them a goal or a target as a baseline of why this matters.<\/p>\n<p>Something like, \u201cWell, Mrs. Jones we think every patient should have a goal to have all of their teeth to prevent bone loss and to be able to chew and eat properly\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>2<sup>nd<\/sup> It must be a reflex to never be passive when a patient says no.\u00a0 Keep right on talking and go through the reasons why it\u2019s importance.\u00a0 If they persist, then you will move to point number three and the third strategy.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t exaggerate enough how much more yeses you will get just by NOT accepting the first no.<\/p>\n<p>3<sup>rd<\/sup> You want to practice having a list of challenge questions that you can ask the patient when they try to object.<\/p>\n<p>You say, \u201cI\u2019m curious Mrs. Jones, what did you think the investment would be?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just want to understand your goals better, why is it you would not want to move forward with improving your health in this way?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I hear you say that Mrs. Jones, I feel like I must not have done a good job relaying the importance of this and why you really deserve this to happen.\u00a0 Which area could I have explained better?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The list goes on and on and you can come up with some really powerful questions as a team and go to work on this.<\/p>\n<p>Everything I\u2019m telling you can be used in the clinical room when building the treatment plan, when diagnosing and getting the clinical yes, when presenting treatment, and going for the close with money and schedule.<\/p>\n<p>More on this next week\u2026<\/p>\n<p>For now, practice with your team and make your lists.\u00a0 Work on keeping your patients in the practice and talking through everything before they leave.\u00a0 This is how you will get more yeses and more treatment!<\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80\" src=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"576\" height=\"210\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2.png 576w, https:\/\/dentalsuccesstoday.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/f2fd8f06571fe09827ace5fcb31ec1d2-300x109.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here we are my friends \u2013 back again with the real deal, the main point, the only thing that matters.\u00a0 In order to help patients get healthy we have to get them to say yes by believing in their health, your solutions and your relationship so much so that they will actually pay you money&#8230;
