In this episode, I interview Dr. Shawn Van de Vyver, a practicing dentist, who has discovered the benefit of using funnels and email marketing to attract new patients.
In this episode, Shawn and I discuss email funnels as well as how you can use a combination of Facebook Ads and email sequences to build trust.
Shawn discusses how to create "lead magnets", or free PDF's, guides, and checklists to get people to opt-in to your email list so that you can continue to market to them about the specific topic that they opted in for.
For example, if they sign up for a free PDF on sleep apnea, you can continue to send them information and educational pieces on sleep apnea.
This keeps you top of mind so that people know that you can solve their problems.

Any time you decide to start running paid ads, you want to make sure that you are getting results! However, before you do, you have to know what types of messages drives people to take ACTION, and how to find people who are likely to convert.

I also speak about the importance of being unique as well as some of the things that are limiting businesses from really delivering that WOW.
I speak about the correlation between poor leadership and poor customer experience in a lot of businesses, as well as how I stay motivated every day.
Here's an excerpt from the Show notes from Episode 30 of Navigating the Customer Experience
Anissa Holmes shared the first step of creating an amazing practice; one that people talk about, one that has a fascinating brand is first creating that vision and saying, “What do I want to be known for? At the end of the day, what am I working for? What do I want to achieve?” Her vision was to create the number 1 dental practice in the country known for delivering an amazing wow experience and that was the vision that they would be there and that was the vision before anything was put in place and from there they said “What sort of practice would we need to be? What sort of team members would we have to have? What would have to be our core values?” Before they did anything, they actually thought about what they wanted to be and when she says “we”, it really is “we”. She feels like businesses that are super successful, if you look at Zappos, Amazon, Disney – it’s all about the team and for her when she was creating her core values for her company, she involved the team and they said “What do we want to be known for?” They did things like saying they wanted to be very unique, they wanted to make an impact on the community, they wanted to build strong teams, and they wanted to be known for delivering wow. So they set those core values out and so every decision they make had to be in align with those core values, so pursue growth and learning and so having those luncheon learn session where her team is constantly training and having book clubs where they are reading books together in terms of growing business and personal development with a kindle and that was something she did for her team, she thinks it’s really important, many people create this checklist and just put it down somewhere or hang it up but they don’t live it and once you have that, you know your vision then you have to say what sort of business do we need to be, what sort of team do we have to have and then you have to start creating amazing systems and really just designing how you are going to get there. - See more at: http://yaniquegrant.com/episode-030-achieving-extraordinary-results-delivering-wow-dr-anissa-holmes/#sthash.mGIgBjUM.dpuf

Dr. John Montoya is a dentist and the founder of Elm Savings Plan. John found that patients in his practice that didn't have insurance kept asking "what plan do you recommend I sign up for". The difficult dilemma was that he couldn't recommend any specific plan because they all have their own issues with either less than ideal coverage for the patients or significantly decreasing the doctor's fees. Elm Savings Plan was formed to solve a need that he found in his own practices. This is a solution to help dental practices thrive and grow.

Whats even better, is that you can click into each metric to get an expanded list of the patients' names, contact information, and future treatment info so that you can implement systems for in-office follow-up.
A University of Minnesota Dental School graduate, Dr. Bryan Laskin operates a successful 7 dentist private practice in Wayzata, Minnesota. In a very short time, Dr. Laskin has discovered the secret to success to getting your treatment plans accepted is better communication.
Dr. Laskin knows the importance of systems and runs his practice on systems. His team is all aligned have created a very creative approach to getting more cases accepted.
Dr. Laskin shares time-saving strategies and well as strategies to increase production. He also shares strategies to build the right team, as well as the importance of the dentist being a strong leader.
Dr. Laskin also discusses the importance of putting in KPI's to increase productivity as well as modern day communication tools which can be used inside of the office to increase communication between the providers and the team as well as HIPPA secured email and texting platforms to communicate with patients and specialists.
Tired of expensive and outdated lightboxes and ineffective and annoying headsets (note – yelling down the hall was never even considered an option), Dr. Laskin created a cloud-based communication software which could be used from devices he already had in his practice. Once PAGER was born, his office production increased 37%; an increase he credits to his patented customizable checklist messaging, one-touch paging, and his bonus system (more on that here).
Dr. Laskin then recognized the improvements internal communication had on Lake Minnetonka Dental’s quality of care and increased production could be applied to any dental practices external communication with his patients,referring docs and labs. When RECARE and CHORUS were launched, OperaDDS became dentistry’s complete communication solution, and its simplicity and affordability have lead to an explosive community of securely communicating professionals.
Offering HIPAA-compliant email and case collaboration, simple patient recall and an intra-office messaging which delivers the information you actually need, OperaDDS has proven to be the most progressive and most compliant communication software, while remaining the most intuitive and most affordable.

Anissa says that the first thing she thought about with her business coach was her brand. Ask yourself:
If you have the best Facebook advertising in the world, but your brand isn’t that great, people aren’t going to stick around. You want to have your brand on point. And if you’ve got that figured out, you don’t need to be afraid of what people will say about you in online reviews.
For Anissa, the brand is all about delivering the WOW experience. She’s focused on providing an amazing experience for her patients with over-the-top customer service.
Anissa’s dental patients are offered hot beverages and snacks on arrival, the get a free hand and arm massage, and they get headphones and iPads to help them relax in the dentist’s chair. WOW!
One of the systems that Anissa put in place with her business coach uses Facebook wifi. This is a really cool service that even I hadn’t heard of before! If you have a physical business, you definitely want to get in on this. Basically, you set up Facebook wifi for your business.
Then, when your customers want to use the free wifi, they’re taken to your Facebook business page and asked to check in. Once they check in, that shows up in their newsfeed, and they have the opportunity to leave a review.
Anissa uses this system to encourage patients to leave a video testimonial after their appointment. The system only works when everything is on point. The customer has to have been offered refreshments, a hand and arm massage, and an iPad. They have to have had the full experience.
And then, they’re asked three times about their experience that day: by the hygienist, by the dentist, and by the front desk. At the desk, they’re asked if they are willing to give a video testimonial, which is posted either as Facebook Live or as a standard video.
Great! But how can someone without a physical business deliver that kind of WOW experience?
Anissa says it’s all about showing up and going above and beyond expectations. Don’t just dump content on people, actually be there to help and make sure they understand.
For example, Anissa uses a private Facebook group for her Facebook marketing course. She checks in every single day to answer questions and make sure that everything is going well for her clients. That kind of above and beyond attention is what will set you apart.
Of course, Anissa says, there’s not enough time to do everything that you’d want to do every single day. But “there’s always time to do what’s most important,” and that level of customer service is so, so important. It doesn’t have to take all day. Most days it might be ten minutes. But it makes a huge difference.
Anissa is quick to point out that she runs both a physical business and an online business, and that the funnels are slightly different in each case. However, she emphasizes that Facebook advertising is all about how you make people feel. You’ve got to show up, be consistent, answer questions, and offer value all the time.
After that, it’s all about targeted marketing. You want to make sure that you’re getting your message in front of the right people. Once people connect with you, they’ll want to do business with you.

How do you get people to sign up to your email list? I recently had a chat with Tim Paige, Conversion Educator at LeadPages to find out.
It is your contact list of emails, sometimes names, sometimes phone numbers, but it’s basically your lead list. It’s all the folks who have given you their email address and have given you permission, hopefully, to market to them.
They could have given you their email address, because they are interested in some particular topic that you talked about. It could be because they’re interested in your product or service that you have. It basically means that they have decided that it is okay for you to market to them and it’s your job to deliver value.
Once people decide to join your email list, the next step is to stay in contact with them about how you can solve their problems, what makes your practice unique, and why they should choose you.
You can also present them with great calls to action to come in as a new patient.
In this episode, Tim discusses the importance of bringing in new leads, and the role that list building plays in creating Raving Fans who are ready to come in and start treatment.
He also discusses specific ways that dentists can create Free content that people can't wait to get their hands on...which then creates a warm audience of people that you can stay in touch with.
Tim also discusses the power of sending specific follow up sequences to people based on the actions that they took on your website or landing page.
