The 3 Biggest Marketing Mistakes Practices Make

August 08, 2023

In a world where dental practices strive for marketing success, Naren, a dental marketing guru, reveals the three biggest mistakes that plague them. First, the allure of PPO plans ensnares practices, leading them to give up large sums of money to these plans, unaware of the invisible toll it takes on their collections. Naren likens this to a behavioral science principle from “Tiny Habits,” emphasizing the need to take action and optimize the PPO contracts.

This episode urges practices to reverse the mistakes by embracing tiny habits, taking action, and optimizing PPO contracts. SEO mastery should be the cornerstone, leading to Google ads as a cherry on top to further enhance their marketing endeavors. With a solid marketing plan, practices can reduce spending, attract quality patients, and flourish in the competitive dental landscape.
