I’m super excited to welcome Jordon Comstock from BoomCloud onto the podcast to discuss how dental practices can set up membership plans and how to get patients to sign-up for them.
Jordon has been in the dental industry for almost 15 years, so it’s safe to assume he knows a thing or two about membership plans! He began his career managing his family’s dental lab in Salt Lake City and studied Business, Marketing, UX/UI Design at The Art Institute of Salt Lake City. During his time managing his family’s lab, he built a sales and marketing department and helped grow the lab from local clients to nationwide. He also oversaw the financial department, helping to establish systems and reporting to help the company understand the numbers.
The lab’s clients introduced the concept of an in-house membership program to Jordan, who had been an entrepreneur in the making since an early age. In fact, by that time, he founded three start-up companies. Soon, Jordon realized that dental practices needed a system to manage a membership program effectively and so, the initial design for BoomCloud was born in 2013.
Jordon’s main goal is to help as many practices as he can using BoomCloud to help grow practices, create recurring revenue for them and reduce dependence with insurance companies. He genuinely cares about his team, customers, and products.
On the podcast we discussed…
You can find out more about Jordon and how to implement a successful membership program in your own dental practice over on the BoomCloud website.

I am super excited to share this podcast episode with you! It’s a little different this week as I am introducing the recording of one of my recent Facebook Live videos, but I really wanted to let you guys know about the awesome results from my latest Facebook campaign.
We just created a new dental implant funnel for my practice, as part of my Facebook Bootcamp and the response has been crazy. At the time I recorded my introduction we had been launched for a day and a half and we already had tons of requests for appointments. So many, in fact, that my team are getting nervous!
I wanted to let you know how we set the funnel up, how we are testing it to optimize the results and exactly how much we spent to achieve this growing number of appointment requests.

In this week’s podcast episode, I talk about how you can get your team to crush your production goals.
Have you ever thought about the life cycle of growing a business? In the beginning, production levels are through the roof. However, if you’re the business owner, it’s likely that you’re doing most (if not all) of the work. It’s your practice, after all, so you are the one creating the systems, seeing patients and leading the team. You do everything you can to get your practice off to a great start, and it all goes well…up until a certain point.
Eventually, you burn out. You feel overwhelmed, stressed and you just can’t do it anymore. You’re exhausted, and it’s not long before your own productivity simmers down. At this point, it’s critical to build and structure your team. You need to put them in a position where they can take your vision for the practice and take it to the next level.
Here’s what I discussed on the podcast:
I really hope you enjoyed this podcast episode! Join us over on the Dental Marketing and Profits Facebook Group, where I’d love to hear what you thought about this episode!

Find out what works on Facebook and how you can market your practice as effectively as possible AND at the lowest cost.

This week on the Delivering WOW podcast, I explore the power of storytelling in case acceptance. Many dentists and team members struggle to get a patient to accept a treatment plan. The main reason for this is because dentists tend to get super technical and formal with patients and they ultimately lose interest because they don’t understand what’s going on.
In this week’s podcast, I share the concept of storytelling in case acceptance. Storytelling is a powerful thing. Humans have told stories since the beginning of time, whether it's on cave walls, around campfires or in storybooks. People are attracted to stories because they can relate to them and this is something that a lot of dentists and other professionals neglect in their marketing strategies.
Here’s what I discussed on the podcast:
I look forward to chatting with you all again, and I would love to hear your feedback on this episode over on the Dental Marketing and Profits Facebook Group.
Head over to Delivering WOW U to find out how you can create a profitable dental practice. We’ve got a lot of excellent courses with clear action plans and proven techniques that will help to build, grow and market your practice.

This podcast episode is a real treat for you. I recently attended the Voices of Dentisty Summit where I was presenting on how to grow your practice with Facebook marketing and how it can be achieved without spending lots of money. Whilst at the event I recorded quite a few podcast episodes as a guest on other shows.
This week on the Delivering WOW podcast I share with you my appearance on the Millennial Dentist podcast. We focus on the journey that doctors go on from not knowing where to start and not knowing what to focus on to being able to create a life of freedom.
We discussed:

- How I hired a coach, discovered the power of Facebook to tell my story, and built my practice in Jamaica- resulting in it becoming debt free in two years
- I wrote a book to share my story, and then started my podcast in order to reach even more people
- How marketing doesn't solve all of your problems - you need strong leadership skills to build a team, so that you can grow and scale your business
- The importance of hiring coaches and mentors to help you, and how to find the right person for you
- How I have managed to help doctors in different ways, from Delivering WOW U, to my Business Bootcamp and my Inner Circle
