Productive days don\u2019t happen on accident.\u00a0 In fact, there is a whole lot that goes into every one of them.\u00a0 Even if there is only one patient who makes the day\u2026<\/p>\n

A patient has to call and schedule.<\/p>\n

A patient has to show up for the appointment.<\/p>\n

A patient has to be greeted.<\/p>\n

A patient must be taken to the back.<\/p>\n

Properly engaged, listened to, rapport built.<\/p>\n

Educated on problems (ideally through photographs).<\/p>\n

There has to be a treatment plan, a clinical yes.<\/p>\n

Then a patient has to say yes to the money.
Write a check, swipe a credit card, schedule.<\/p>\n

Leave to go home.<\/p>\n

And come back and do nearly all of this again.<\/p>\n

To finally then be in a dental chair.<\/p>\n

All of this just to do some dentistry.\u00a0 Still, you don\u2019t have a productive day unless: it was scheduled properly; time managed effectively; procedure prepared correctly; resulted in profitability; patient happy; and outcomes favorable.<\/p>\n

Productive days take work, and they will never be consistent until you set out to make them so.<\/p>\n

If you want predictable success and really meaningfully productive days, you have to decide to reverse engineer your patient experience (not only the items listed here in this week\u2019s huddle, but all of the other details and nuisances).<\/p>\n

This week\u2019s homework isn\u2019t in the article.\u00a0 Though you could find many things to discuss with your team about this right here.\u00a0 Such as why more of your days aren\u2019t as productive as they could and should be, and really why you aren\u2019t out pacing your goals\u2026<\/p>\n

It comes down to being more successful in the details of the day, of the patient visit, of the treatment acceptance and knowing for sure that every day more dentistry is created, closed, scheduled than what you need to have in order to make days in the future productive.<\/p>\n

Consider this: You are either operating at a surplus or a deficit every day based on how much dentistry is accepted and scheduled for the future.\u00a0 Simple, right?\u00a0 Days aren\u2019t good or bad based on the day but based on the days that let up to this one.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve created a brand new special report diving deep into details, asking tough questions and giving you a roadmap to rethink your practice and how you go about building up your day to be as productive as possible.<\/p>\n

There is a lot in here for everyone and I\u2019m sure it will bring about some powerful trainings, meetings and discussions if you walk through it together.<\/p>\n

Here you go\u2026<\/p>\n
