Q&A Segment
- 00:33:32 – Question 1 – Gary, I am a regular listener, and I have heard you discuss a production goal each day for my hygienist, and I am only hitting about 75% of that goal. What specific recommendations do you have for us to get closer to 100% of the goal?
- 00:38:30 – Question 2 – My practice currently has 90% PPO patients. Is there any possibility that I could successfully resign from PPO Plans when my practice is so dominated by PPO patients?
- 00:40:54 – Question 3 – I have an opportunity to add a great Associate Dentist to my practice. This individual would like to have equity. What steps would you recommend?
- 00:45:32 – Question 4 – We struggle with case acceptance for any treatment not covered by dental insurance. How can I improve in this area?
- 00:49:41 – Question 5 – Our area has an extreme shortage of dental team members. We often get -0- responses to our ads for an open position. How can I attract quality team members with these circumstances?
