- Leadership Matters…Planning is Essential (Click here for complete description)
A day in the life of a dentist and manager in a practice is ever changing and has many layers. There are reports to monitor, trends to identify and a multitude of day-to-day fires to put out. And then, there is the challenge of keeping everyone motivated and involved. It can be exhausting. In this course we will identify the potential road blocks to success and design successful strategies for a win/win for the patients, practice and the team. Preplanning plays an important role in the success of a dental practice, strategic planning, dental retreats and goal seeing…We will find our internal giggle, discuss solutions and empower ourselves to truly make a difference.
- Creating Win Win Discussions (Click here for complete description)
Have you ever felt as though your communication wasn’t effective? In this course you will learn failsafe ways to communicate with patients, office team, and each other. Learn the key “do say/don’t say” strategies that can result in case acceptance, timely payments, and effective scheduling.
- G.R.I.P.E. – The 5 Reasons People Complain & How to Get Them to Stop (Click here for complete description)
In this guide, you’ll learn an easy-to-remember-system for understanding why people complain and getting them to stop. Remember the acronym G.R.I.P.E. and the handful of simple comebacks Will Bowen provides and you’ll find yourself living a complaint free life.It is not complaining to speak directly and only to someone who can resolve the issue you’re facing. Example: If your computer freezes and you call tech support, you’re not complaining. Griping to other people who cannot improve your situation on how your computer is a piece of junk – that’s complaining.
