In today's episode, I'm sharing some big behind-the-scenes updates in my business and life. You'll hear about the shifts we're making as a company, my ongoing battle with social media (and the tool that's finally helping me set real boundaries), plus a special story that took me back to the very coffee shop where I started my business eight years ago. This one's part inspiration, part strategy, and part reminder that success doesn't always come from force. Sometimes the real growth happens when you lean into flow.

In this episode of the Hungry Podcast, Henrik Grim, co-founder of Mimo, sits down to share the lessons he's learned from scaling startups, investing in brands, and navigating the brutal realities of cash flow. From his early days at iZettle and Spotify to launching Mimo, Henrik traces the path that shaped his approach to building companies with purpose and resilience.He explains why cash flow is the make-or-break factor for consumer brands, how raising money is more of an art than a science, and why Sweden's cultural DNA — rooted in the “Law of Jante” and flat hierarchies — has influenced the way startups are built. Henrik dives into what sets apart the businesses that succeed, from customer obsession and competitive urgency to knowing when data is helpful — and when it just creates noise.Along the way, Henrik reflects on personal challenges: balancing founder obsession with family life, grappling with insecurities, and learning how to give ownership and responsibility to others. He draws sharp parallels between competitive sailing, his sport of choice growing up, and entrepreneurship — from reading the conditions to finding your own path rather than following competitors.This conversation is packed with insights on startup culture, fundraising, prioritization, customer focus, and leadership — all delivered with Henrik's mix of candor, humility, and hard-won experience. ==============================================

In today's episode, I'm joined by Whitney Woodcock, founder of Queen of Millions—a global community of over 200 women across 20+ countries who are learning, investing, and building confidence in the world of crypto. Whitney shares her journey from leaving engineering and a traditional career path to betting on herself, creating financial freedom, and building a movement that blends strategy, intuition, and empowerment. If you've ever craved more freedom or wondered how to get ahead of financial shifts, you don't want to miss this conversation.

If you're spending hours creating beautiful content that gets crickets for engagement, the problem isn't your design skills or your expertise. It's probably your content topics! This episode will show you exactly how to fix it. Today I'm breaking down the framework I use to evaluate every single content topic before it goes live. Here's the truth: a great content topic can make mediocre design and copy perform well, but even the most beautiful, expertly crafted content will flop if the topic doesn't land. I spend more time ideating content topics than I do on creative, editing, or scripting, because when you nail the topic, everything else becomes easier. I'm sharing the exact 5 filter system I use to test whether a content topic will actually stop the scroll and convert, or if it's destined to get lost in the noise. From understanding the difference between "specific" and "niche" (they're not the same thing) to making sure your topics showcase your unique expertise without being too broad, this framework will transform how you approach content creation. I'm giving you real examples from my own content, including posts that could have performed better and exactly how I would fix them using this system. Plus, I'm sharing how this process saves me time on caption writing because when your content topic is strong enough, you don't need to rely on heavy captions to carry the message. In today's episode, we're talking about: Why content topics matter more than design or copy  The difference between "specific" and "niche"  How to make content personal to your expertise without making it hyper niche The attention-grabbing formula that gets people to stop scrolling  Why trying to teach a "whole textbook" in one post is killing your engagement Connect with me:  Website Join our email list!

Dental A-Team's marketing mastermind Eve joins Tiff on the pod to discuss the top marketing strategies that can be easily implemented in your practice. They touch on social media, offline marketing, retention, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript:   The Dental A Team (00:01) Hello Dental A Team listeners. I am in the studio air quotes there because you know, we're in two different places I say that all the time, but I am in the studio with someone very very special today and I'm so excited I just I adore this human being more than I think she will ever know I think she thinks she knows how much I adore her but she has no freaking idea   And I'm so excited to bring her here with you guys today. And I always bring my consultants and they are by far and away the A team and they make the Dental A Team who we are. And I'm always just so happy to bring them to you. But today you guys, I have the most amazing human being. I have Eve with us. And some of you may know Eve's name. ⁓ All of you likely see her handiwork every single week in your inboxes, in your email. ⁓   invitations, if you're part of our doctors groups, you are seeing her sprinkles of fairy dust and everything that the Dental A Team puts out, our logos, everything that we do. Eve is our marketing genius behind the scenes and she hates that term, but she really is our marketing genius. I have.   Eve, I'm just so happy to have you here. Like I could sit here and talk about you for the whole podcast and the amazing things that you've been able to do with us and for us. But first and foremost, massive welcome, massive thank you for taking this on. This is not, you love to be behind the scenes, but being in the face of everything is not your favorite space. And I somehow convinced you to do this. And Eve, thank you so much. And how are you today? How excited are you to be here with all of us?   Eve (01:37) I   am equally excited and nervous to be here. This is definitely one of the things that I had to challenge myself to do. you know what? It scares me and it's something new that I've never done before. So ⁓ let's do it.   The Dental A Team (01:52) I'm so excited. for all of our listeners, if you've ever attended one of our monthly webinars, we do free webinars so everybody knows every single month. It's the third Thursday every month. Eve actually, that's her. She is responsible for those. She puts them on. You've probably heard her amazing voice on there and maybe even seen her face a time or two, but that is the handiwork of Eve. And I know most of the content and most of the stuff, the engagement that you're seeing is put on by the consultants, but I want you guys to know   Eve is freaking brilliant. She is a mastermind and she has so many tools in her tool belt. And honestly, she, and I are constantly just in awe. Eve of the, we've told you this before, where we'll create content now, you guys. we, Kiera and I create the content. We're like, yep, let's rock and roll. And we send it over to Eve and I'm like, my God, I didn't even think of that. Like she's thinking of like dental things for us now too, because.   You've just done so much of it with us and you pour your heart and your soul into everything that you do. And I think when it comes to a great marketer, that is a massive piece of what really makes you shine and makes the company that you're working with or for truly shine as well is that you pour your heart and soul in there and you become who you're working with and you become that piece of content and you just embody it and you literally, like, ⁓ it makes me think of like Jim Carrey.   Jim Carrey does really, really well studying everything that he's going to his characters, right? So he does all the studying and he literally becomes them. And I've watched documentaries about him where he's like this different human. And that's what I imagine you doing Eve, when you go in and you do all of our content and all of our slideshows, our decks, all of that. You just become that content and you make everything just shine a little bit brighter. So massive kudos to you. Huge thank you and.   Again, thank you for doing this podcast with me, you guys. This is gonna be huge. Obviously we're doing it about marketing. I get so many questions about marketing and if you know I love marketing, it just lights up my soul, I don't know why. I love changing something a little bit to get a different result and to see what happens and use different words, use different tools, and it really, really lights my soul on fire.   I get asked a lot of marketing questions and something that even just what you talked about right now when we're prepping for this, I'm like, gosh, I actually get asked these questions constantly and I get asked for marketing companies. We have a ton we can recommend. We have time we work really closely with, but Eve, I really, really wanted you to come in today and really help us narrow down some effective marketing strategies that you've seen that you think can translate very easily to dental practices. We are a dental consulting company.   So our marketing might be a little bit like a smidgen different than an actual dental practice, but I think that a lot of it translates and marketing is marketing in my opinion. So there's a million things. And I think there's two that you just talked with me about that I want those to be like, this is the meat of it. But one question I get asked a lot that I wanna pick your brain on and I want just like, put this out there. And first off, before we even get started, everyone know Eve is like,   She told you she is equally as excited as she is nervous. And she is really, really fantastic at making sure that anything that goes out is as accurate as possible. So just know this is coming from ⁓ her marketing brain, The learning, the training, everything that she's got behind her and also opinions. Like these are things that we've...   tested, these are things that we've done, things that she's done, whether it's with our company or not, and opinions that we have on things that could or could not work. So with that said, one of the biggest questions I get asked is social freaking media. do I, dental practices on social media. And there's a whole bunch of different avenues for that and a whole bunch of different genres of dental practices. think I see like cosmetic practices or these smile design practices, obviously, they're gonna get a good   foothold and it's going to be more important for them to be on social media. But something Eve that I've always thought or been told is that for a general dental practice, your social media is really there to help boost SEO and it's really there to like get in front of your patients. It's not necessarily going to be something great to get in front of people who don't know you. And I think of that because I think of like the stretch within the country.   of how many people are randomly coming across social media accounts, what's your opinion on social media and dentistry?   Eve (06:29) ⁓ Well, think first and foremost, think social media is very important. And no, first and foremost, thank you so much for all the kind words. Thank you. Is this episode about me? That's great. Glad I came. Now, I do think that social media is very... And I think that more and more dentists are realizing now that social media is super important, is one of the main pillars of marketing. Because if people don't know that you exist, they're never going to come to your door. ⁓   The Dental A Team (06:36) Of course, of course. Yes.   Eve (06:59) One mistake that I think many ⁓ business owners in general do is they treat social media purely as a sales tool. ⁓ Social media can be that if you play it right, but it's more about awareness. It's more about building that trust with your community. It's about ⁓ showing like how you show up for your community. actually, my dentist, ⁓ I love their social media. They really just, their social media makes me feel like we are best friends.   ⁓ Like even seeing the familiar faces, ⁓ just seeing everything that they do kind of on a day to day or them taking me behind the scenes and stuff. It's really, something that really does build that trust with the audience.   The Dental A Team (07:40) Yeah, what is it for for dental practices? like you said, like sales, they're using it for sales. Are they going to gain new patients from it? What should it be used for?   Eve (07:51) You definitely can get new patients from it, but ⁓ for, if we're talking about acquisition, I would definitely recommend running ads. So your feed is not just basically covered with, I don't know, promo on whitening. And then the next post is ⁓ kids are going back to school, book your checkup and stuff like that. ⁓ Social media is to build that trust with the community, to kind of show who you are to them enough that they   are going to like you and they're going to trust you and they're going to come to you. After all, feel like dentistry is a very, and I don't think people really think about it this way, but it's a very kind of like intimate service really. ⁓ So I think that trust is just very, ⁓ very important.   The Dental A Team (08:36) Thank you. Yeah. And what I'm gathering there is that it should be a reflection of who you are. So who your practice is. And I think that kind of flows into a lot of podcasts that we've done on really knowing who you are, how you want to show up in the world. So what your core values are, what your mission and your vision are. And I feel like then if your social media is speaking to that, it's kind of as just putting yourself on display rather than saying,   please come schedule. hate, I hate, like I always think of like the Easter bunny, right? And the like Easter bunny picture that everybody posts. It's like happy Easter. And it's like everybody posted that or happy St. Patrick's Day and it's the little leprechaun. And it's like, huh, just be different. Like do a picture of your team with little leprechaun hats on and say happy St. Patrick's Day. Like do bunny ears on the doctor and not this like stock photo that everyone's using and then following it up with,   by the way we've got a whitening special for wedding season. Like everybody's doing that. So I love the way you said that.   Eve (09:40) Yeah. And I would challenge anyone that's listening to it to kind of try to be themselves for a minute and try to actually present themselves the way they are. Not what, not in the way that everybody else expects them to be. Like you're saying, it's, don't know, Christmas is coming. Everybody's posting happy Christmas from X, Y, and Z. ⁓ dental try to be different, try to, try to do what you as a person would do because that there is a massive chance that whatever you do or whoever you are will actually.   really make someone relate to you ⁓ even more.   The Dental A Team (10:12) Yeah. And you're trying to attract that patient avatar of the patients that you want, not everyone you're trying to, you're trying to narrow down your niche. So thank you. Perfect. ⁓ massive piece that I wanted to chat about B and I actually just got off a call this morning, ⁓ with a client and she had asked me for ideas on this and, ⁓   really just like boots on the ground marketing is what I like to call it and community outreach. And I love that style of marketing, especially for practices that are in a really community based town. like LA, maybe not like as many things to do, but there's still some, think boots on the ground style marketing you can do, but especially for those rural cities or rural communities within a big city that can do that kind of community outreach. What do you feel, how relevant do you feel?   that is or earlier you called it like offline marketing. How relevant do you feel that is? Because I do feel like a lot of marketing companies even are pushing so much online, so many Google ads, so much SEO and everything is like this online presence. And I do believe in Google ads and I do believe in Google reviews to boost all of that, but there's still gotta be something else that can go in.   Eve (11:05) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (11:28) line with it, but what are you seeing that works really well or experiencing yourself?   Eve (11:33) 100%. And I think, and that's something that I mentioned to you earlier, that I feel like so many dental practices move online so much that there was so much room in offline marketing. There was this whole pool that is basically uncovered. And I brought an example of myself where I really, I do love my dentist and if he's listening, I love you, but I have moved. I have moved. now it means that it's like a 45 minute trip for me to go and visit my dentist.   The Dental A Team (11:55) Yeah.   Eve (12:02) I'm on a lookout for a new dentist. And what I've noticed is ever since I moved, I've been getting flyers from literally everyone with my name on it. So obviously they have access to my name, my address and everything. I've got flyers from the pest control guys, from people that are offering to fix my roof. People that are doing landscaping, driveways, everything else. I have not received a single one from a dentist. And this is someone that I actually genuinely need. So I know my job now is to go on Google.   The Dental A Team (12:31) Yeah.   Eve (12:32) run all those reviews and pick a new dentist ⁓ that I hope that I can trust. But that kind of shows that there is that massive gap, really. Because if you were in my area, so if you're in South Ogden, Utah, look. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (12:48) I have a dentist for you. I didn't know that's where you moved.   I have a dentist for you, but go on, go on.   Eve (12:55) Perfect.   So if you're in this area anyway, just know that there is zero offline ⁓ competition for you. So you can for sure attack this area. ⁓ But seriously though, I feel like he has that everything is moving online so much that there was more room again for offline marketing or even when it comes to like community ⁓ inspired initiatives. ⁓   The Dental A Team (13:16) Yeah.   Eve (13:21) You know, and you can be as creative as creative as you want. I've seen one dental practice around dropping like toothbrushes. think their slogan was smile more or something like that. And they were dropping toothbrushes and they were hanging them in, in a little bags on door handles of the houses. ⁓ so even doing things like that as well, even though obviously it might be a little, you know, it might be time consuming. It might need a lot of planning, but those things do, they might not get you up.   The Dental A Team (13:36) ⁓ smart.   Eve (13:48) They might not get you a new patient right away, but they slowly build up that kind of trust or it slowly shows people that, hey, we are in your community. We're serving your neighbors.   The Dental A Team (13:57) Mm-hmm.   I could see that. Yeah, I think a lot of dental practices pulled back from the flyers and they became, I don't know, think that, I think in the, I know when I was in practice, when we were in, we did thousands, we would do drops of thousands of these.   flyers and they would come back. would get the fly with the patients would bring them in. They would get them. But it takes so many times for those to get in front of someone before they're ready to call. And they would say, you know, I've had this here for six months and it's been hanging on my fridge and I finally decided to call or I was finally due for my cleaning that I think people just got they shied away. They got scared of it and felt that the ROI might not have been there, especially when maybe like the marketing   marketing budget, there's so much of the marketing budget going to Google Ads and going to website revamps and a lot of marketing companies just to host the website. It's a huge chunk of the marketing budget anymore that I think they stopped doing so many of those styles of marketing. But I can think of actually a handful of clients right now that   could probably benefit from that. And especially Eve, like you're saying now in a saturated market in Utah, is a very saturated dental market. If you're not receiving those and you're kind of looking out for them, that is a huge untapped area that those dentists could probably get. Yeah. Yeah. Just waiting.   Eve (15:23) I would be a very easy patient to just tip over. I'm literally, I'm here right now. Just come.   I'm literally just waiting. Yeah. But also what you mentioned, I think is really important when, when you said that, they might get a flyer and then they might get something else. Those are called touch points. And right now it's, it's proven that it takes seven to 12 touch points to actually convert a lead, which is like the patient to be, if you will. So now imagine how many.   The Dental A Team (15:32) Yeah.   Yeah.   Eve (15:52) how many in how many different areas you need to do those touch points to get in front of those people. ⁓ For example, you I'll give I'll give you my example. Let's say I got that flyer a week later when I see the same practice on social media, I'm going to probably pay a little bit more attention. Right. I'm going to go on Google and check their Google reviews, check out their websites, see what they do, see, look at the doctors, see if I think that I will actually gel with any of the doctors. ⁓   The Dental A Team (16:09) Yeah.   Eve (16:21) And so all of that are little touch points that actually lead to me picking up that phone and scheduling my first appointment with them. So it's not, you know, like, obviously sometimes it might happen, but usually it's not just one thing. It's a combination of a lot of, a lot of things. And that's obviously that's, that's work. And that's, you know, that's going to take up a chunk of your ⁓ marketing budget. ⁓ But it's definitely something that, something that works.   The Dental A Team (16:48) Yeah, yeah, I love that you said that I talked to practices about that constantly that it takes seven up to I think you said 12 and I've heard 13 times. And that's I talked to them about that for treatment planning. So if a patient needs treatment, like we're telling them multiple times, or speaking in or around it, we're not saying you need a crown seven times, we're saying like, there's something going on here, because of that same reason. And I tell them   I use the example of social media and you're scrolling on social, you're on Instagram, right? And you're like, ⁓ you like slow down because you're like, that's a cute pair of leggings. Like, and then you're like, gosh, it's an ad. So you scroll faster, right? But then the leggings come up again. And then it's like a different picture of the leggings. It's a different girl wearing the leggings, but it's the same leggings. And then all of sudden you're like so many times over, you're like, this is a sign I'm supposed to have these leggings. And now you're clicking on the boutique and you're like, am I buying these leggings? And next thing you know, the leggings are on their way, right?   You had no inclination, you did not go on social media to find leggings, but the leggings found you. And that's what that marketing is. It's like so many touch points, right? Yes, that's how they get you. And that's kind of, that's also what we're working against, right? Because that $30 pair of leggings that I just bought off Instagram that I have no idea if they're good or not, could have been a copay for a dental appointment too. So if we're not getting in front of our patients and we're not advocating for their dental health more,   Eve (17:45) That's how they get you.   The Dental A Team (18:08) than these legging companies and these boutiques on Instagram or whatever ads you're getting, because it's going to go off your algorithm, they're advocating for you to purchase whatever that thing is. So if you're not advocating for the patient's health and getting out in front of them, you're not really doing your due diligence as a dental practice. The sitting and waiting for patients to find you just isn't, I just don't think it's a thing anymore. I don't think that there's like walk-ins, you know, I don't.   Eve (18:30) 100%.   The Dental A Team (18:33) Some where for sure there could still be walk-ins, I just the sitting and waiting. I don't think is working anymore, you know   Eve (18:39) And also I think it's worth mentioning that you as a dental practice owner, you are competing with so many other practices who are literally pumping their money into their marketing, who are always chasing the next trend, the next thing to do to get in front of your patients really. So there is always that competition. And I know it's never a kind of a relaxing feeling when you know that there's someone out there trying to get even your existing patients.   But that leads us to another point, which is the retention. And as we know, to retain a client or to retain a patient is always, always cheaper than acquiring a new one. So when we talk about marketing, we also need to mention that ⁓ retaining your current patients. So making sure that, you know, making sure that your follow-ups are in check, making sure that you're reaching out, reaching them out with emails, that your reactivation process is   you know, is in place is just so important because that's actually, it's, it's so much easier to retain your existing patient who's already been there, knows you and hopefully trust you. Right.   The Dental A Team (19:46) Yeah, they're already bought it and you've built that relationship. And I think if you're a dental practice listening to this podcast, you are a dental practice who's likely relationship based. But I do think Eve, to your point, it gets so lost in ⁓ the other pieces. We get so focused on treatment or so focused on acquiring new patients. I walk into practices all the time and I have one practice in mind and he's going to listen to this. He's going to know exactly who he is.   And he's constantly asking me, what about marketing? And I'm like, bro, you just, you took over this great practice. You've got like 8,000 patients right now. Like your job right now is to retain the patients that you have. And maybe even, you know, if you're in a practice and you've had this practice for a long time, or you just took over a practice who's been around forever, there are thousands of patients who have not been seen in two plus years.   that know your practice. And so like Eve saying that reactivation space, like hit up those patients that already, they're already near you. If they've moved, they'll tell you. They are already bought into that location and reestablish that relationship because it is the cheapest form of marketing. And again, like Eve said, you already have that relationship started. And so you don't always have to.   pour a ton of money into marketing. And if you are in an area that you do, then do it. Your marketing budget, we usually say to keep marketing, our consultants advise like 3%. I've seen it all the way up to 5 to 8%. But 3 % to 5 % is usually a pretty decent chunk. And that should be of your collection. So that's of your overhead. So 3 % of your collections. Yeah.   Eve (21:25) like is that of your total budget or is that   your... Yeah, okay.   The Dental A Team (21:29) Yep, of your collection. So whatever last month's collections were, whatever your average collections are, we usually recommend 3 % up to 5 % of that poured into marketing. But to that point, I have so many practices that are like new patients, new patients, new patients. And I worked with doctors personally who just, everything was about the new patients. And if we're not remembering the patients that are already coming, we're doing a disservice to every patient that walks through that door. So.   strictly only focusing on those new patients is not going to build that relationship that keeps patients coming. And you're always going to be in the rat race for those new patients. And you don't have to be. One day you're going to be like, we're full. One day it's going to be like, well, I'm actually almost ready to retire. Like I'm good. And we want to, we want to see you get to that point. So I think that was massive Eve, what you said, and that retention and that reactivation is huge, huge.   What do you feel like, ⁓ to kind of wrap us here, I know AI is coming in really, really strong for a lot of practices. Is there anything that you've seen offhand, just off the bat, working well when it comes to AI in the marketing world?   Eve (22:44) ⁓ I think plenty, and especially for dental practices. And I feel like right now there is a, there is, ⁓ an uptick in companies, specifically dental companies helping out with that. And I don't know if I can mention names of the companies or not. So keep it quiet. I think, I think we know which ones we're, we're talking about. There are just so many companies now that are specifically designed for dental practices to help you out with it. Exactly. With the retention, right? there are companies that will.   The Dental A Team (22:59) You can.   Eve (23:14) literally do all the job really for you when they send out automated follow-up emails or follow-up texts, or they'll send out texts that are confirming patients' appointments. There's just so much happening right now. And I get that for a lot of ⁓ dentists and dental practices that might seem very overwhelming or the word AI itself might kind of not make you feel all fluffy and fuzzy inside because it is a little bit scary in the direction that it's   going in. But I think there are a lot of ways beyond what we know like chat GPT and stuff that the AI can do for you. I would say as a general advice, would just say you can always give it a shot. You can always try it. You can always track it. And you can measure your results. Because at the end of the day, if you try something and it doesn't work, you can try it again in a different way, or you can move on to a new thing.   One thing I would say though is just don't be scared of AI because AI for businesses is actually a very powerful tool.   The Dental A Team (24:20) I've even seen practices follow up with new patient calls. They'll keep a list of new patients that have called the practice and maybe not scheduled. They've asked a couple questions and then they'll call and follow up or they'll shoot them and.   in AI message, right? They'll have a system in place where it's like, hey, kind of like, it makes me think of, I use a lot of this protein company, right? This first form and they do fantastic at emails. And I'm always like, what is this one? Like, what's this new product, right? And as soon as I go look at it, a couple minutes later, right? I get that, we saw you looking email, right? And I'm like, yeah, I know. And so it's just getting that, it's the touch points though, right? It's like, hey, don't forget about this. And they'll gear.   a lot of the marketing towards the things that they know I want. And I think it's brilliant and it's AI. There's not a man on the other side that's like, Tiffanie looked at this, let me shoot this email. Like, it's all automated. So in the same voice, the same situation, even when patients are calling and they're just asking questions, it's like shooting an AI message that says, hey, did we answer all of your questions? Like, what questions do you have left? Because a lot of time patients will call and they'll still have more questions, but they might not   And so getting that extra touch point, I've seen them turn unscheduled like calls into a completed new patient. It works. And so in the same vein, doing all of those pieces to retain and to follow up with patients that maybe just didn't, they're not a patient yet. But as I'm speaking that I'm going back to like our original conversation of social media. And I think Eve,   something you do really well with our marketing is that everything is consistent and it's constantly in Dental A Team's voice. And so even down to your confirmation texts and emails that are asking if patients are coming to their appointments, if it's not in your voice of your practice, who you are, it's confusing. And it's not confusing.   Eve (26:20) and it's not finished.   The Dental A Team (26:22) Right? Like it's not like I sit there thinking, is confusing. This is weird. Sometimes I do. Right. But in subconsciously in the back of my brain, it's like a detachment. Every time something's different or something just doesn't fit, it's a detachment to that place. But when they're all succinct and everything flows and they're consistent, I'm more attached. Think about like Lululemon. If Lululemon all of a sudden was like this sterile email that came through, it wasn't like, girlfriend, I found the best set.   set of leggings you need, right? They were just like, look at these leggings. I'd be like, that was weird. Right. And it would detach me from that brand and that company. What do you think about that Eve?   Eve (27:00) 100%. And I am a big, I think I'm like Dental A Team's guard when it comes to branding and that goes for, that goes for everything that goes for your brand colors that goes, that goes for the use of your logo or even the images that you use, the videos that you use as well. So I think all of it. and I know we could probably talk about branding for another two hours or so, but yes, that consistency. And I know we might sound fluffy, but that consistency builds that trust. If, for example, you have a patient that.   The Dental A Team (27:05) You are.   Eve (27:29) goes to your social media and looks at all your posts and then decides to go to your bio and actually click on the website. If that website is different, speaks differently than your social media, there is going to be a little bit of that in trust, right? All of it basically should follow the ⁓ same branding. And the same goes for your voice as well. So at least then people also know what they can expect from you. If you are a dentist and there is a dentist in Salt Lake City and that's a...   pediatric dentist ⁓ and Tiff, you might know who I'm talking about as well. I didn't even know he was our client, but I've been following him on Instagram just because I love his Instagram. But he definitely comes to mind for me as someone, as a dentist or as a practice with a very strong branding. ⁓ I can be scrolling on Instagram. know exactly, even if there is nothing written on it, I know exactly which post is his. ⁓   The Dental A Team (28:02) Mm-hmm.   Eve (28:28) And it's crazy, but this does build that trust that we are talking about. The whole branding really is about building that familiarity. Like, of course we're going to trust things that we find familiar.   The Dental A Team (28:38) Yeah, I totally agree. And I think pedo practices do it, they do it really well. Pedo practices, they can speak their voice really cleanly. I oftentimes have like general practices. I'm like, go look at the pedo practices. Like look at these ones. These are ones I work with. Like look at their messaging and their branding because they really do know how to speak to it. But it's because the specialty practices, ortho, pedo, oral surgery, perio, they have to do so much more marketing because they're not   they're not getting the like, I need a cleaning phone call. Their specialty, so they're getting more referrals or they're getting patients that's like, gosh, my kid needs ortho. So they have to do so much more marketing. think they're more in tune with it. And I think recently in the last 15 years or so, marketing in the general dentistry world has really had to ramp up more than it ever was before. And we're just still learning so much. I think that speaks to like this massive change of   not having the flyers going out. It's like, okay, well, this might not be working, so let's cut it. And I hate that. You said something earlier about tracking. I only cut or change things if I can prove black and white that it is or isn't working. if a patient calls and they're upset because they got too many confirmation texts, like one patient out of 600 is upset and then practices are changing their method. And I'm like, but it worked for 600 other people, this one patient, you know? So I definitely agree with all of that. And I think   I think the key takeaways today are to, one, would say evaluate your area, right, Eve? Like look at what your competition is and what are they doing? I think something you said earlier was like really, really sticking to the boots on the ground, still working and still being one of those touch points. And I actually really love that touch point because it's so much different.   than the online ones. You're just getting blasted with online ones, but all of a sudden you have one that's in person in real life and you're like, oh, this is new. This is different. Exactly.   Eve (30:34) It's so crazy because it used to be the other way around. You get   a stack of flyers like this in your mailbox every single day.   The Dental A Team (30:41) Yes,   I remember being in office and getting calls from just mostly cranky old ladies. And I'm like, one day this is going to be me. I'm going to be this cranky old lady. And they would be so upset that I kept sending these flyers. And I was like, I didn't send them. Like I have a company and I don't know how they got your name, but they're like, take me off your list. You know, but that's not happening anymore because we're not sending them. Like you need those calls. That's how you know it's working. If you've got patients, non-patients, if you've got people calling, complaining that they're getting your flyers, that's how you know it's working guys. They're looking at them and they're calling you.   So due to diligence, figure out in the area, like what's best for you? What's gonna work? I do think I love the community outreach. I love getting in front of patients in that way. And then remember your social media is a brand, you guys. Is this supposed to be speaking who you are? And like Eve said, it should mimic what your website shows as well. So if your website needs some revamping, reach out. We've got some great companies that work on that.   It's a really great tool to have and I think we undervalue and underestimate how much our website actually does for us. It's an insanely helpful tool because people still aren't going to look at them. So,   Eve (31:51) And especially,   I feel if your website hasn't been updated for long, ⁓ make sure that it's mobile friendly. right now, obviously, I don't know the exact figures for dental practices, but I reckon that maybe 80, 90 % of people that look at your website look at it on their mobiles. And I don't know about you, Tiff, but for me, if I go on a website and after five seconds, I'm all lost and nothing makes sense, I'll click that X button very quickly.   The Dental A Team (31:55) Yeah.   ⁓ yeah.   For sure.   so fast. Yeah. Our attention spans just, you got it. You got to catch people literally five seconds. You guys, it's not our. Yup. my God. Tick tock killed us. I know. Yeah. Well, Eve, I think that was fantastic. I super appreciate you doing this podcast with me. I knew I wanted to pick your brain selfishly and ⁓ you're just the best human I could possibly think of to help dental offices really understand how they can.   Eve (32:23) It's right. Tick tock, tick tock. Tension span.   The Dental A Team (32:47) effectively market their practices. So Eve, thank you for today. Thank you for prepping for this. I know you've been stressed for weeks because I asked you weeks ago. So thank you. I think this was fantastic and you just gave so much information to so many people. So thank you for being here.   Eve (33:02) Thank you so much. And yeah, thanks for having me. It wasn't as bad as I thought. You made it easy too, so thank you.   The Dental A Team (33:07) Perfect, then I'll let you know when the next one is. I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. Good.   You're welcome. You're welcome. I promised you I would do my best. So everyone, hope if you are driving, you re-listen to this and you take down some tips and some tricks. If you weren't driving, I hope you were writing notes. Re-listen to this a few times, you guys. There's a lot of nuggets in there to pick up from Eve.   a lot of really great information. As always, drop us a five star review below. We'd love to know which tips worked best for you or which tips you're most excited for. And I always say this, you guys, if there's something you're doing that we didn't talk about that you think someone else should know, put it in that review because people really do read them.
