Everyday Leadership: Fostering the Leader in You
Quick question, do you think of yourself as a leader? If you answered yes, congratulations! You've got the secret sauce. If you answered no, I want to assure you that you're not alone. Leadership is a skill we often think is challenging to achieve and that only a select few people have this innate ability. Truthfully, this mindset holds many of us back from reaching our full potential. In this lecture, I will focus on the simple ways to make leadership achievable in everyday interactions. By leveraging our leadership capabilities, we can set our practices apart in customer service and team culture. It's time to change your mindset and uncover the leader in you!
Learning objectives:
- Identify the leadership qualities you already possess.
- Demonstrate how to build upon those qualities in everyday interactions.
- Understand the difference between personal and situational interactions in the office.

Shut the Back Door - Don't Let Potential Patients Simply Fade Away
Oh, it's a beautiful thing when we move from a lead, to an exam, to a same-day start! (I can hear the angelic melody now!) But that isn't always the case. So, how do we best manage those having or needing to take an alternate path?
We have to ensure they don't fade away. Otherwise, it is as if they came in our front door and we forgot to shut the back door. Don't lose them!
If you are interested in simple processes to keep any pre-patient in the loop, be sure to join this webinar.

Effective Follow Up With WCB/Undecided/Pending Patients
Once a new patient has had treatment presented and discussed and has not committed to starting treatment, effective follow up in a timely manner is critical to changing "I need to think about it" to "Yes, when can I start?" From scheduling a set date and time for follow up with the treatment decision maker to careful scripting of that follow up call, you will learn how to maximize the success of your WCB calls and utilize Edge Cloud or ViewPoint to help you in that success. Natalie Beaton will share tips on overcoming common objections and concerns and how the TC can get comfortable with that conversation. Natalie shares 30 years of TC experience and training and will help you design a WCB protocol that includes re-approach letters, email blasts after new patient is placed in an inactive status, and other pearls that will work for your office!
