Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I am super excited today. Today, we're going to be talking about three tips to grow your dental practice quickly. And what's going to be really exciting about today's episode is that everything that I'm sharing is actually part of a process that you could use to be able to ... Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Delivering WOW Podcast. Super excited to be here with all of you once again. So, today I am pretty excited to announce that we have actually done some pretty significant changes with our Facebook group. So as many of you guys may or may not know, back in April, I made a decision to, I guess it's now temporarily close our Facebook group, our Delivering WOW hangout group. And I did it for a few reasons. Number one, I wanted to really focus on my coaching clients. As many of us know, we had lots of transition, lots of changes, lots of overwhelm, lots of stress with COVID-19. And so, during that time, I really

Hi everyone. And welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I have recently had a bunch of people reaching out to me through Facebook Messenger, asking me about treatment plan acceptance, and how can they increase their revenue for their practice? How can they have their team get more confidence? And so I decided to actually take today to talk exactly about that. All right? So we're talking about treatment plan acceptance, and how do we increase that? And there's actually three steps or three ways that you can increase your treatment plan acceptance. And the first way is for those who have reached out is actually the first step, is number one, understanding that there is no ceiling on how many cases that you can close with high value cases, setting your goals really big is really, really powerful. I've had people reach out to me as well and I said, "Okay, let me share some simple strategies with you to be able to grow your practice and significantly scale and get more revenue." And they

Hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. Today, we're talking about how to use Google My Business in your dental plan and I'm just so excited to be sharing this information. Oftentimes you hear me talking about social media marketing, you hear me talking about making relationships with other businesses in your community so that you can build those partnerships. But what we're talking about today is something that I haven't actually talked about before. And it really is how can you utilize Google My Business, which is a free tool, to be able to bring more exposure to your practice. And again, so excited about this, because this will be once implemented correctly, transformational for your practice. Now you might be asking me, well, what is Google My Business? Or I've already got a Google My Business listing. And so Google My Business, if you're going to Google, Google My Business, you'll see where you can actually go in and you can customize your listing for your practi

Hi guys, and welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I am so excited to be here. So today, I'm going to talk about something that is pretty real and honest, and it is about being an introverted dentist and how can we get more dental patients if we are an introverted dentist. So question for you, are you an introverted dentist? And the reason why I ask is that I, interestingly, am. So many people look at me and they're like, "Oh, Anissa, you're so extroverted. Like you get out there, and you're doing Facebook Lives, and I see you everywhere, and you're on social media, and you're having summits and doing all of this stuff." And people actually assume that I am an extrovert. But what's really interesting is that if you go back to the first episode of this podcast, what you will hear, and it's almost embarrassing, is that it actually sounded like I was reading. And so my office manager, at the time, comes to me after my first episode, and she says, "Dr. Holmes, I listened to your podcast

The Delivering WOW podcast with Dr. Anissa Holmes, the number one show for dentists who are not afraid to take action and want to receive massive results. Now let's get to work to focus on what matters most. Hi guys, and welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. Today, we're talking about First Week on the Job Training for your dental team. Now, how many of you have had a new hire to come in and all of a sudden it's a month later, three months later and they're still not doing the key functions that you hire them for? If this is happening, oftentimes what that means is that we don't have a good onboarding system. And so what I'm going to be sharing with you today are some tips that you could use as you're starting to bring in new hires, to get them trained up as fast as possible. And believe me, not only do you want them to be trained and to be able to be efficient and being productive for the practice, they also want to be able to be comfortable in what they need to do. And once you cr

Hi guys, and welcome to another episode of The Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I am super excited to be here with you today. So today I'm actually going to be discussing automation and how you can create an automated dental practice. Now, the reason why we want to create automation in our practice is that automation adds accountability in our business. And oftentimes where we really fall short is that we're very busy, right? As owners of a dental practice, we are doing the dentistry. We are managing patients' expectations. We are leading a team. We have families at home at the same time, right? And so, many times what happens is, of course, we are putting a lot of things on our plate. Things slip through the cracks and at the end of the month, we're like, "Oh my gosh, I didn't get that done. And I really wanted to get that done." And so the faster you can automate your systems, automate your processes, that now can be even managed and handed over to a member of your team, you actually will have the ability to

Hi everyone. I hope that you are having a fabulous day. Welcome to another episode about Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. Today, we're talking about how to train our teams to collect payments well. So, this is a topic that a lot of people struggle with. A lot of people will struggle because they're not even quite sure how to have collections come in. And so, I wanted to share a few things with you that hopefully will be super helpful for you as you are navigating your practice ownership and becoming a better business owner. So, one thing that we look at in terms of our collections is really making sure that we have a solid system for knowing if our collections are getting out of control. And unfortunately, what happens way too often is that people have a revelation one day, maybe you listen to this podcast and you go and you look at your collections and you're like, "Oh my gosh. Our AR is crazy and we need to work on it. Now, we need to hire a company to help us fix it." And it never had to be that way. And so,

Hi, guys, and welcome to another episode of The Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I am so excited about today's episode. Today, we're actually talking about, how do you pay your dental team? And actually this came up because a member of my mastermind actually sent me a message today. And she said, "I'm not sure what to do. I would love your advice." And what she said is that a team member had actually come up to her and had asked for a raise. So this is a very common thing that happens in our practice. We'll have team members say, "You know what? I really need to earn a little bit more. Can you help me?" So it puts us in this dilemma because a lot of times we're thinking, "Well, I'm not sure if I can afford to pay my team member anymore," or, "I'm not sure if they really have the skillset," or, "How can I pay them more?" And all these things go through your mind. So I wanted to come on and really help you to navigate this because there are some really creative ways that you can actually empower your team to actu

Hi guys, and welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. I am so excited to be here with you today. So today we're here to talk about how to discuss a treatment plan with your patients. And this is one of the questions that I get asked so often from dentists and dentists inside of our Dental Boss Movement Facebook group. And so I wanted to take some time to actually go through how I do treatment plans in our practice and how we have helped others all over the world, really, to be able to understand how to deliver treatment plans and have success. Now, one thing that I talk a lot about is how can we learn how to do things for our practice? How can we grow our practice using frameworks? And the reason why frameworks work and why they work every single time is that frameworks are a lot like gravity and gravity is a principle. And so if we drop a pen, the pen will always go to the ground because gravity is actually a principle. And so I love when I am coaching our clients or when I'm teaching

Hi guys, and welcome to another episode of the Delivering Wow dental podcast. We're talking all about startups today and how you can launch your startup without spending a ton of money. So what brought me to create this podcast is, recently, I was actually in a forum in Dental Town, and one of the marketers that was there made a really good point, is that a lot of times when we have startups, a lot of times people are not thinking about their marketing. They're budgeting for their equipment. They're budgeting for their supplies. They're thinking about costs for their team, but many people are not actually budgeting for their marketing. And they actually made a recommendation that dental practices put in between 20 and $25,000 in their budget to launch their startup. And what was really interesting is that a lot of times I see those numbers, and because I've seen so many startups launch with a thousand dollar budget, or even less, I know that there's actually another way. And so today what I'm actually going t

Sleep apnea is more common than you might think. If left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to potentially serious health risks, which is why it’s so important to target the root cause of sleep-disordered breathing. To help further understand what sleep apnea is and how we can help treat patients suffering from the condition, I invited Bryan Ferre, Chief Evangelist at Vivos Therapeutics Inc., on this episode of the Delivering WOW Podcast. The Vivos® System is a clinical breakthrough in the treatment of sleep-disordered breathing for individuals of all ages. Their treatment even includes more difficult cases of sleep apnea, including mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea resulting from underdeveloped upper and lower jaws. But, how does the Vivos® System work? And, why should you consider integrating sleep medicine into your dental practice? Bryan explains all in this episode of the podcast!   In this episode, we discuss: How sleep apnea treatments can help increase production per visit The touching story abou

Waiting rooms are far from being the most exciting places in the world. However, there is a way that you can make your practice’s waiting room entertaining, educational and even (dare we say it) fun for patients. On this exciting episode of the Delivering WOW Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Sernik, the CEO of Channel D, a company that creates fun, engaging, and customizable videos to play in your dental office reception area.

Hi guys, I hope all as well wanted to come on today and tell you some really exciting news. We are, as many of you guys know starting our YouTube channel, which is dental boss TV, I am so excited about it.

As you guys know, I love social media. I love Facebook marketing, but YouTube is something that I have not spent any time on. And so as I started to look at how can I help more people How can I do more teaching? How can I spread the word? I thought you know, what would be really cool is to create a YouTube channel, dental boss TV, where every week I could give a lesson, ri
