What’s Your Story?

What’s Your Story?

Seriously, what is YOUR story? A story is what differentiates your product or service to potential customers and makes them want to know more about you.

How do you differentiate yourself and what is YOUR story? Is it price? Maybe you have the lowest price, but you’re viewed as subpar by those in search of quality.  You might be a premium service that is worth every penny, but you haven’t crafted the narrative to justify your…

G.O. D.E.E.P. to Succeed in Dental Sleep

What’s the biggest reason dental practices fail to attain success in Dental Sleep Medicine (DSM)? Getting patients tested? MD networking? Medical billing? Worried about side-effects? Forget software. Forget devices. Yes, those are all obstacles inherent to DSM, but the dentist that is the “go to in our area” has figured out how to overcome those obstacles. They’re screening patients.

So, it can’t be those issues. Those issues can be overcome with the 3 E's:…

Your Dental Sleep Goals Are Unrealistic

By Jason Tierney, Connector - Wordsmith - Runner  It’s happened to nearly all of us. We want a transformative experience and we set out with the best of intentions. I want to rock the 6 pack abs and the perfectly toned biceps at the beach in June so I sign up for a gym membership today. It’s Sunday. I’m going to eat healthily at each meal so I go to the grocery store and avoid the center aisles which contain all the bad stuff. I load up the cart with kale, cucumbers, & quinoa. And I’ll start tomorrow. It’s the…
