dentistry business strategies
DESCRIPTION
How to build a dentistry business that matters? 1) Clarify your brand and build your on-brand dental business around it. That allows you to differentiate yourself and enjoy what you do. 2) Communicate your brand using a Slice & Shine© Strategy that allows you to extend your reach, expand your tribe while maximizing your time. That allows you to position yourseld as a go to expert in your community. 3) Repurpose the communication content that you generate to create information products to help people learn from you, and you monetize your knowledge. That allows you to find freedom for your life and create life-work balance. This repurposing strategy is called the Roll & Grow© Strategy, and it plays nicely with the Slice & Shine©.TRANSCRIPT
