As a result, your relationship with these individuals becomes strained, creating an "elephant in the room" that weighs you down. Secretly, you pray this situation will miraculously disappear or heal on its own. In your heart, you know you need to muster the courage to have a conversation to clear the air or in some instances make your expectations clearer. Conflicts are a normal part of living. What matters most in these situations, is how we handle them. During this meeting, you will: Learn about conflict, disagreements, and refusals, and why they happen.

LIVEcast: Building Patient Financing into Your Marketing Strategy 6/13/2023 1:00 PM - 6/13/2023 2:00 PM

Wed, 26 Apr 2023 08:34:27 GMT

Please note, this session is being simulcast on the AADOM Facebook Page , the AADOM LinkedIn Page , and the AADOM YouTube Channel to view on 6/13/23 at 1:00pm est

Building Patient Financing into Your Marketing Strategy

59% of patients have forgone dental care due to cost fears. And, for those who do visit the dentist, payment considerations are top of mind before ever stepping foot in the office.

When it comes to helping patients commit to their dental care, providing financing options can be a powerful tool to help patients plan and budget for the treatment they need.

However, patients need to know financing options exist before sitting in the chair. That means making financing visible throughout your patient journey—as you attract patients using your website, manage patient communication via email and text messages, and once they arrive at your office. When you generate awareness about your financing options, patients experience less financial stress, and you’ll see higher case acceptance, fewer cancellations and no-shows, and ultimately more production.

Course Learning Objectives:

How to integrate financing into each stage of the patient journey
What channels to leverage to maximize marketing success
What successful financing marketing looks like with real-life examples
How to modernize patient financing to enhance the patient experience

LIVEcast begins at 1:00pm est on our AADOM Facebook Page , the AADOM LinkedIn Page , and the AADOM YouTube Channel

Sponsored by: Sunbit

Adrian Valente is the Director of Training at Sunbit, the fast-growing patient financing technology company, and supports training, enablement, and community engagement. His training methodologies have been used by more than 115,000 dental, auto, and optical professionals on how and when to offer financing to customers. As the resident subject matter expert for all things Sunbit, you'll find him hosting podcasts, events, interviews, and coaching sessions across the verticals they serve.

Topic: Short Staffed? / Get Compliance All Locked Up!

Speaker: Kay Hickey, LDA

Topic Details: Short Staffed? Understand that the current state of staffing issues is not going to go away anytime soon. Dental practices must accept that this is the “new normal” and find ways to stay productive, efficient, and sane, and still meet the needs of their patients. Audiences will benefit by learning strategies and processes to improve workflow that will help clinicians do just that!

Also, evaluate products and techniques to help with organization, efficiency, and infection control. Without good clinical processes in place, the day can easily get away from the dental team, leaving them feeling stressed and rushed. This not only results in a poor patient experience but may cause mistakes and missed steps for safety and compliance. Get compliance all locked up!
