Better Case Acceptance

8 Strategies for Better Case Acceptance

Wednesday, October 13, 2010 8:00 PM - 9:15 PM EDT
Attracting and closing sales for large cases is increasingly difficult in these hard economic times.

There was a time only a few years ago when patients would just walk in the dentist’s door and practically ask to be treated. No more!! Those same people ARE still out there but they are fewer in number than before, making outreach absolutely essential.

If you want to be among the few dentists who still do the larger fee-for-service (no insurance) cases regularly, you MUST use a polished practiced perfected system to attract and close the sales.

The decision is yours but remember when it comes to your clinical skills it’s “use it or lose it.” If you don’t want to “lose it” listen in as Dr. James McAnally, (CEO, Big Case Marketing) describes the workings of the Big Case Marketing and Case Acceptance System that does the job for every day for your colleagues.
