QDP Webinar #1 Social Media 101
There’s a lot of buzz today about social media marketing in dental practices. Many dentists and their team members are asking, “Can social media be effective in building our practice, or is it a fad that takes too much time?” Social media is word-of-mouth marketing online.

Quality Dental Plan™ and My Social Practice™ have combined efforts to provide this webinar on Social Media 101. My Social Practice also combines social media tools, content, strategy training and support into fully integrated solutions that helps practices:

You will also receive new, valuable information on some of the “hot”sections of the CDT code, which you can use to identify and “fix” coding problems that lurk in your practice.

QDP Webinar #8 5 Steps to End Micromanaging and Increase Staff Self Accountability.
5 Steps to End Micromanaging and Increase Staff Self Accountability.
Further explanation of these 5 points with specific action plans can bring accountability to each member of the team. The success of self-accountability starts with leadership that models it. These are 5 of the most common problems told to me by other practice owners. The lack of teamwork, communication and self-accountability in many practices is showing up in the owner’s behavior with micromanaging. Hovering at the front desk, raising their voices, patients leaving the practice because of the negative energy or unorganization.
I will provide a few tools in the hour to give you a road map to change:
1. Teamwork – making it a great experience for each and every patient. Are patients getting forgotten because staff are “too busy”?
2. Staff and supervisors taking ownership and responsibility– self-accountability–how to stop blaming, shaming, denying, avoiding etc…
3. How can you bring the best out of yourself and each other?
4. Communication, the do’s and don’ts. Sometimes it isn’t the skills and abilities that are lacking but the ability to know how and what to communicate and when to patients and each other.
5. Communicate your point in 3-5 sentences or less. Story telling takes too much time, loss of staff production and creates frustration in the staff member who just wants to “GET TO THE POINT”.
