For Consultants Only...
An Open Letter to Dental Practice Consultants and Teachers
Dear consultant,
This may well be the most important five minutes of information you’ve come across in a long time. Dentistry is changing (again) and you are invited to help make a difference in the process. In this case – IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS! Not knowing how or even what this is about could cost you a lot! For the sake of those who depend on your expertise and foreknowledge and advice, please take a moment to quickly read this important message.
The mission of MDReferrals is to help dentists and physicians around the world to save and prolong tens of millions of lives. This will be accomplished through our vision of building a bridge between the medical and dental professions.
Along the way there … if the emerging science, the strong indicators from aging demographics, and the many other trends are to be believed, there is an incredible opportunity for many dentists - and a few sharp enterprising consultants – which is where you come in.
Because of the initial reception we’ve enjoyed by both dentist and consultant, we at MDReferrals are confident we’ll reach who we need. But it will go faster and look better for you if you decided to help out – (as well as to benefit from the opportunity).
Certainly those you coach, teach or consult with would be interested in discovering how to get more referrals from physicians. What dentist wouldn’t want patients showing up under “doctor’s orders” and bringing with them a mouth full of other problems with them?
Dentistry has never seen this before! The oral-systemic connection, dental sleep medicine, and TMJ/Headaches all create an excellent opportunity for dentists to begin working with physicians at the grass-roots level, and to get plugged into their referral networks. But it must be done right! Dentists must learn the “language” that physicians want to communicate in as well as something of the science and medicine that supports the entire process. Those who don’t will be dismissed and marginalized by the physicians.
As a respected consultant and coach who obviously desires to remain valued by your clients, you have an opportunity to introduce this new marketing concept to your clients - and to remain relevant in their lives! (i.e. Do you really want someone else telling them about this?)
We invite you to watch the short Flash PowerPoint presentation linked on this page, that highlights the opportunity for practice consultants and coaches. This is a phenomenon that is not going to go away. Those who don’t do something with this concept will certainly be marginalized to one degree or another by their clients and the industry itself. Don’t risk letting that happen to you.
Let MDReferrals introduce itself to you and present you with an opportunity to further your reach, career and income by helping us introduce this information to those who trust you to keep them on the cutting-edge in dentistry.
The linked PowerPoint presentation will review with you the several powerful demographic and marketplace trends that are shaping up to force dentistry through these waters. The opportunity comes in becoming positioned to ride the wave as these waters roll forward. Included in the PowerPoint are topics such as:
- How dentists can build their practice and income with physician referrals
- How dentists can use a already prepared turn-key “plug-n-play” marketing system to build professional referral relationships
- Medical/Legal requirements and new standard-of-care causing physicians to refer to dentists
- Aging Boomers more motivated to reduce risk factors
- Corporate and news media outlets advertising and educating patients
- Sleep physicians begging for qualified dentists to treat sleep apnea
- Emerging science linking perio disease to heart disease
- More educated physicians understanding the value of dental health
- Improved dental diagnosis and treatment capabilities that create opportunities for medical/dental interactions
Again, we believe we are helping solve one of the age-old problems in dentistry – that of new patient streams and physician referrals. Omer Reed said it best when he wrote in the foreword of The Physicians Marketing Handbook that dentists were never taught how to approach physicians. MDReferrals is changing that with cutting-edge and turn-key marketing and communication systems that help a dentist position themselves in their local medical community as the resident experts they should be. Our belief is that if you are to remain germane and potent as a consultant and dental influencer, you must be up on this information – and we believe if you are, that you will see the wisdom in not falling behind by reinventing the wheel.
And yes, there is an opportunity for consultants who see the wisdom in helping us introduce this to their clients. We invite your sincere and honest inquiry – then contact us by filling out the form below and submitting it to us.
