PRESENT SEMINARS TO PATIENTS IN YOUR OFFICE

Are you looking for a way to stand out in your community? Here is how you can gain respect as a Leader, generate New Patients, and provide a great public service.

Select a topic that will draw an audience.The “hottest” topic today is Sleep Apnea. Just google into the internet and you will see the widespread interest in SA. People are becoming very aware of the dangers caused by the stoppage of breathing while they are asleep. They are looking for answers and very few Dentists are prepared. Take a training course or a seminar, become knowledgeable in the signs and symptoms, the risk factors,and in the various treatment options. Sharpen your expertise.

Some Tips for your Seminar
  • Present it in the largest room in your office- usually the Reception Room
  • Prevent any interruptions – turn off phone ringers, etc.
  • Have a “Welcome Table” with some juices and other beverages (sugarless, of course).
  • Have your flyers, brochures, and business cards on the “Welcome Table”.
  • Prepare a power point presentation with video.
  • Subjects like Sleep Apnea are serious, but to keep the audience entertained, infuse some humor.
