Two Day Team Development Seminar

 

All good teams need a plan and a coach.  Over the two days with PLATINUM Professional Deveopment we create the coach and design the plan.

These dynamic two days are designed to motivate and unite your team to create and deliver your vision.

TEAMWORK is the most important ingredient for success.  

Without teamwork you feel as if you are on your own.  You suffer high stress levels and there is no fun left in what you do.  Use these two days to regroup, revisit your goals and rediscover each other and the importance of your team.

PLATINUM Professional Development's extensive experience has allowed us to develop this 'Two Day Team Development Seminar' which covers all areas of your Practice and involves all members of your team.

Treatment Coordinate It! (TC IT!)

Kathy in Town TC IT2

Introduce a Treatment Coordinator

and watch your

Case Acceptance GROW and Appointment Books FILL

This participation type workshop will open up the door to develop the Treatment Coordinator role within your Practice.

It’s amazing what the Patients tell their Treatment Coordinator after seeing their Dentist or Specialist.

Implemented correctly, Case Acceptance can rise to 80+% every time your Patients sit with your Treatment Coordinator.

To achieve a high level of Case Acceptance, ask yourself:

v  Do you allow time in the appointment to get to know your Patient first to build a trusting relationship?

v  How long are your consultation / examination type appointments so the Patients are not feeling rushed and can perceive this as quality time?

v  Do you give your Patients information they can understand including printed Treatment Plans, accompanied by photos?

v  Do you have a separate consultation room that offers comfort and privacy away from a busy front desk?

Your Patients will make the decision to proceed with their Treatment Plan if you can answer YES to these questions. 

In this workshop, Kathy will cover:

v  Getting the YES!

v  The 3 MUST have things every Patient leaves with

v  Role and Responsibilities

v  The TC’s Tool Box

v  Professional Language that does not leave the Patient Confused

v  Communication and Relationship building skills

v  Exceeding a New Patients Experience – instant referrals

v  Scheduling for Production – not gap fillers

v  How to measure your performance – KPI’s

v  The Professional take home package for all Treatment Plans

    v  How to save your Dentist / Specialist time

And much more…

All attendees are invited to bring along a Treatment Plan they would appreciate assistance with.
