Episode notes
Avoid Discounting High-Value Dentistry
- Avoid discount pricing because it signals low quality and destroys trust for high-value dental services.
- Naren and Gary compare discounts to a Michelin restaurant or heart surgeon offering deals, which repels patients seeking quality.
Trust Is The Currency For Patients
- Trust is the primary currency in healthcare and must be built before patients call.
- Showcase before-and-after full-face photos and eye-focused after shots to convey real transformation and happiness.
Make An Assistant Your Photography Champion
- Assign a photography champion to capture consistent before-and-after photos every case.
- Gary stresses assistants must take standardized pre-op shots (nose-to-chin) so you never lose the ability to show transformations.
