Key Quotes:
- “The economics are creating a significant headwind and the easiest way to win this game is to create your own economy.”
- “If dental teams have a system for small talk or at least some frameworks or guidance and embrace that, it is the on-ramp to trust, rapport, case acceptance, referrals, et cetera, and really good things happen.”
- “Research says 7% of communication is verbal. That means the rest is tonality and physical communication.”
- “We want to humanize ourselves, not to the level of unprofessionalism, but just to create a human-to-human connection.”
- “Stories are humanizing. They are trust-building if done tastefully and not inappropriately. So don’t be caught off guard, have stories worth sharing.”
- “Little tiny things create small talk and the small talk creates a big connection. And the big connection creates even bigger chances for reputation building, referrals, and all of the things that you really need in private practice.”
