Show Notes


What happens when you pay a company to handle your office’s web presence way too much money and they screw it up? You figure out how to do it yourself! Or at least you do if you’re Dr. Shawn Van de Vyver. In episode 109 we introduce you to Shawn Van de Vyver, a dentist who understands marketing better than anyone you know and who has learned to harness all the amazing tools available online to create and manage leads as well as automate almost any process you can imagine. He’s a unique individual and he let Alan sleep on his couch.

In today’s Brain Trust we talk about “herodontics.” Have you ever done something at a patient’s request that you were pretty sure wasn’t going to work? Do you ever find yourself treating a patient that you can just tell you should have sent on their way? The Brain Trust explores this bizarre tendency in some dentists (Alan is guilty, big time). Our Brain Trust features Dr. Brooke Blicher, Dr. Will Wyatt, Dr. Ayesha Zaruhullah and Brain Trust noob Dr. Paul (the Italian Smith) Amato. You’ll learn that 1) you aren’t the only one with these regrets and 2) how to stop it!
