Understanding

How and why Dental is a viable market

Page 51: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Dentist Retirement SurveyPublished by Jim Du Molin of the Wealthy Dentist

• Only 13% of dentists replied they are on track financially and will retire completely once their monetary goals are fully met.

• 1 in 5 dentists would like to retire but aren’t sure they will be financially able to afford it.

Page 52: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

• Female dentists were nearly twice as likely as their male colleagues to worry that they will not be able to afford to retire.

• Rural dentists are almost twice as likely as their urban or suburban counterparts to say that they doubt they will be financially able to retire.

Page 56: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Page 67: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

• Study groups/dinner meetings

• Less expensive

• Recommended to do with an experienced upline partner

• Local is ideal

• Can often provide a slide to the presenter if the material is a fit or even speak briefly

Page 68: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

www.drLists.com

www.mmslists.com

Page 70: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Don’t Forget About Your Retail Customers!

• Already satisfied customers

• Great source of referrals

• Who is their dentist and hygienist?

Page 71: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Challenges To Address First...

Page 72: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

What We Make Up About Dental Leads...

• I have to be a dental professional

• I have to know all the ingredients

• I have to speak dental

Page 73: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Dental Professional or Not!

PHARMACEUTICAL SALES REPS

• Are not MDs or RNs

• They are trained to offer solutions (in the form of drugs) to medical facilities and doctors’ offices

DENTAL SUPPLY CO REPS

• Are not DDSs and in most cases not RDHs

• They are trained to offer solutions (in the form of products and services) to a dental practice

Page 74: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

The Truth...

• Dental leads are really no different than any other prospect lead

• Cannot be intimidated by the title (DDS, DMD, RDH)

• You are the expert in the Oxyfresh opportunity (hold yourself that way)

• Own the value of what you are offering: solutions in their practice and financial opportunity

Page 75: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

If You’re Stuck in What You’ve “Made Up”...

• Speaking in warp-speed clinical jargon

• Focusing on heavy technical terminology

• Telling them things you can’t back up

• Telling them about all ingredients

• Along with the chemical formula for Oxygene

• And, how hydromagnetics really works

Page 76: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

If You’re a Non-Dental Professional Doing This...

• You sound like you’re speaking in tongues

• You have lost all credibility and respect

• You have lost them as a valuable prospect and you can forget about asking for referrals

• Keep in mind... This is not what we teach

Page 77: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

And, If You Are a Dental Professional Doing This...

Is it any different???

(Just imagine someone doing it to you)

Page 78: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Big NOs

• Never bash competing products

• Never push to get an office to switch everything over to Oxyfresh (unless that is what they say they want to do)

• We are NOT a drug – don’t make claims (share personal experiences)

Page 79: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Big NOs

• We are NOT “all natural” (Oxygene) – we have natural ingredients

• Stay out of the scientific debate – easy to do when you’re not making claims!

Page 80: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

BIG Missing...

• Focused on features

• Not focused on the prospect

• Telling and not asking questions

• Not in control of the conversation... No matter how much you think you are

Page 81: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

So, Ask Yourself...

• Who am I being when I’m in conversation with Dental Professionals?

• What am I saying?

• What am I asking or not asking because I’m too busy telling?

• What language/terminology am I focused on in my conversation?

Page 82: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Know Your...

• Market

• Prospect

• Product/Opportunity

Page 83: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

People Buy Based On Two Primary Reasons

1. How it (product or service) makes them feel (i.e., test drive a car)

2. If it offers a solution to a problem

In Oxyfresh... What is the customer/prospect ‘buying’???

They are buying YOU(being in business or doing business with you)

Page 84: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

So, the Question is...How do you make your prospects feel?

• Heard?

• You have integrity and you follow-up when you say you will?

• That you’re sincere?

• Interested in their needs and wants?

• Enthusiastic and motivated?

• Offering partnership that you enjoy?

Page 85: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

When You Are All Those Things...

• You shift

• Your conversation shifts

• You tap into your creativity

• You and your product/service/opportunity becomes attractive

Page 86: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

You Move Into...

• Offering solutions that solve a problem

• Painting a picture of what they will gain by doing business with you

• Creating opportunity that is mutually beneficial

• Adding value to their practice and their patients

• Adding value to their life with an unlimited financial opportunity

Page 87: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Invaluable Tips...

• Always set up time outside the practice setting (too distracting and you’re on their turf... They’re in control)

• Always do your homework... Know your prospect (if it’s a dental office or dentist – check out the website)

• Always offer the colleague referral program in the initial conversation (not just throughout and not as a surprise)

Page 88: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

How To Start The Conversation“Dr. Bonner / Mary Lou (RDH), there are

two aspects to Oxyfresh...

“One is the in-office clinical program, which offers passive income by dispensing

customized home care for your patients, which requires no additional chair time or

dentistry.”

Page 89: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Conversation

“The other is the optional colleague referral program, which offers royalty income outside the office through referring colleagues and others to

the program.

“Is that something that may be of interest to you?

“Which program would you like to focus on during our meeting?”

Page 90: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Let Them Decide

CLINICAL PROGRAM

• “Great! Lets focus on getting the clinical program successful.”

COLLEAGUE REFERRAL

• “Great! Lets focus on what that could look like for you.”

• The conversation is no different than any other prospect

• Find the missing... Offer a solution to a problem

• LEAPFROG! They know hundreds of dentists (who each employ at least 1 RDH)

Page 91: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

What is Passive Income?

• Increased profits to the bottom line without…

– Seeing additional patients

– Adding more chair time

– Doing one more procedure

Page 92: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Passive IncomeIn perspective...

Considering the overhead most practices are faced with (70%), it would take nearly $100,000 in additional dentistry (chair time, procedures,

patients) to generate a $25,000 profit!

Page 93: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Questions to Ask... Clinical Program

• How much of your time is spent doing cosmetic and whitening services?

• What are you recommending to those patients for home care?

• How is it working?

• What do you think your patients buy in the stores?

• Would you be interested in a program that will preserve your dentistry, keep it looking great longer and generate profit in your practice?

Page 94: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Focus On...

• The trends

• Cosmetic support

• What makes Oxyfresh unique

• Where there is a fit – solution

• Asking questions that stimulate their why (discovery)

Page 95: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Focus On...

• Building rapport, trust and your desire to provide value to them and their practice

• Showing the profit potential

Page 96: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

No Matter What The Answers Are...

• They may decide to use other products as well as Oxyfresh... And that’s okay

• There’s always a fit for Oxyfresh – understand what makes us unique

• It can be a lead program or a complementary program to one they already have

• Give them that freedom... Opens the door... You become a different experience for them

Page 97: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

No Matter What The Answers Are...

Don’t be desperate, needy or greedy...

It’s unattractive!

Page 98: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Dental Leads

Page 99: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Making the Initial Contact...

Understand when you have a lead their

response indicates...

• YES, I have a need or a want• YES, I’m interested in this• YES, I’ll talk to you about this

Your responsibility is to then determine whether or not your opportunity/product can help satisfy them

Page 100: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Requires Doing Some Homework First!

• Know your prospect, if possible (if DDS, visit website)

• Identify your lead (RDA, RDH, DDS, DMD – get it right)

• Gather any and all info provided (phone numbers, email address, best time to call) and honor all preferences listed

Page 101: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Requires Doing Some Homework First!

• Identify the publication/issue – know the pub (go online and check it out)

• Know what they are interested in or requesting (ideal to see the actual ad/feature, if possible)

Page 106: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Know Who’s On Your Team• Who can you call on for 3-ways and when are

they available? (upline, crossline)

• Who can you call on for third party credibility? (upline Dental Professionals)

• Who is mentoring or coaching you?

Know who these people are and use their experience to support you!

Page 107: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

The CallALWAYS...

• Make personal contact

• Identify WHO you are and HOW you got their number

• Ask if this is a good time – if not, honor it!

• Set a follow-up before hanging up (give 2 options)

Page 108: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Call Considerations

• May take several attempts

• Be very clear about other people’s busy lives, schedules and overwhelm

• “Gestation time” to building rapport

• Make positive interpretations around any challenges in attempting to reach someone (supports you – honors them)

Page 109: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Email

• Great for dripping

• A thank you for their time

• As a follow-up to a VM message

• If personal contact is not an option

• It is how the prospect prefers communication

Page 110: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Goal is to Identify... What benefits they gain from your product/opportunity

Comes out of identifying their WHY!

Becomes an “interviewing process” not an interrogation!

Don’t come to the call with a list of questions... know what you’re attempting to identify and allow a

natural flow to the call... Build rapport!

Page 111: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Questions to Ask

• “What was it about the ad/feature that prompted you to call/respond?”

• Listen carefully and follow based on their response (not your desire to tell them all about Oxyfresh)

• “Great, tell me more about that!”

Page 112: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Questions to Ask

• If it’s product related, “What have you been using?” (personally and with their patients)

• “How is it working for you?”

• Ask questions that allow them to determine how Oxyfresh can be a fit/solve a problem a need or want

Page 113: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

Don’t Forget... Colleague Referral Program

“Mary (RDH), I know your initial interest is primarily around the breath spray so I want to make sure I cover all your questions around that and I don’t

want to miss sharing another aspect of Oxyfresh that you may see as a tremendous opportunity.

“Oxyfresh offers something unique that you can’t find with other companies...”

Page 114: Denver 2008 Dental Workshop

“A chance to do what you already love to do – teach patients and other colleagues about safe and effective

home care without being an employee.

“Oxyfresh offers the ability to create a secondary income stream to support you in designing more

flexibility and freedom in your work and life. There are thousands of other dental professional that have

already discovered this program and have been very successful.

The “Sample” Debate...• NOT cost-effective

• Seen as another sales rep

• Take “sample” out of your vocabulary... Everyone thinks of a sample as FREE and a Dental Professional will think you are now going to give them FREE samples for all their patients

• No value in that

• What are you getting in return? Why do you want them to experience it?

It IS Key For a Dental Professional to Personally Use

• Willing to send a personal size of the product

• You have a request...

“Mary, please use the toothpaste in place of what you’re currently using for 6 days and then try to go back to what you were using before. I will call you

on the 7th day and I’m interested in finding out how that experience is for you.”

“Would you be willing to do that?”

“GREAT!”

Here’s Something to Keep in Mind...

• The overwhelming majority of Oxyfresh’s retail customer base orders the dental products (toothpaste and mouthrinse) and they have for 25 years

• They pay TOP DOLLAR – Oxyfresh’s suggested retail price + freight + sales tax

THAT is an extraordinary product that does that!

Realize...Boundless opportunity exists!

• They are always a source of referrals (especially if you’ve come from a place of honoring them)

• They can become a loyal customer or a business partner (both are GREAT!)

• They may or may not get product in their practice (and, it doesn’t limit their opportunity – leapfrogging)
