\u00a0This is not the practice as a whole, we\u2019ve already covered that (hope, health, possibility, deserve).<\/p>\n<p>Specific to your role and patient process, how do you fit in and what should you be focusing on to move the patient forward?<\/p>\n<p>On the phone, you sell the advantages of the practice, coming in for the appointment, and, most of all, that you genuinely care and believe you can help the patient. \u00a0You are selling them on the first visit.<\/p>\n<p>In the pre-education materials and welcome process, you are selling the differentiation factors of the practice and you are building up the value in the patients\u2019 minds of what you do.<\/p>\n<p>Greeting patients, your goal is to sell comfort and friendliness.<\/p>\n<p>In the New Patient Interview, you are selling goals, expectations, the experience itself, the importance of comprehensive care, why it matters, and how we go about determining theirs.<\/p>\n<p>For clinical engagement, you have a triad of things. \u00a0You must be selling the doctor and building them up. \u00a0You are selling the patient on themselves and reinforcing their goals. \u00a0You are also bringing to life their problems and possibilities of what they deserve to have happen first by establishing the proof of what their current reality is.<\/p>\n<p>Our Doctors have the main objective of selling benefits and outcomes. \u00a0In addition, they are selling their own confidence to the patient that they have the appropriate and definitive solutions for them.<\/p>\n<p>On the backend we have our Business Team and Treatment Coordinators to further reinforce the benefits on the pathway to health. \u00a0They do have the big responsibility of selling the value of treatment is worth more than the value of their money.<\/p>\n<p>And every person who comes in contact with the patient should always be selling the things we have talked about over the past several weeks. \u00a0Especially remember that you must be selling urgency and timeliness on getting healthy and that no one deserves to wait to do something beneficial for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, every step of the way there is something to be focused on in order to move the patient forward. \u00a0And it is vitally important to not get ahead of yourself and confuse the patient by discussing things before they are ready to hear them.<\/p>\n<p>As we love to say and I reinforced to you last week\u2026 there is a system, a process, and an experience for a reason.<\/p>\n<p>Now, make sure you aren\u2019t talking too much or too little, moving too fast or too slow, and that you have clarity on what your purpose is at that moment. \u00a0Focus on that and not just \u2018getting it done\u2019 or going through the motions.<\/p>\n<p>Self assess now and I\u2019ll be back with some insights and helpful tips next week.<\/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>Ah yes, sometimes we all just get ahead of ourselves and there is no place more prevalent in doing this than with Patients.
