Success is when you help somebody on a path to a better tomorrow. - Catherine Pisacane There is no shortage of women doing great things with their lives and Catherine Pisacane is proof of that. For her, success is not measured by fame or fortune, but rather, by the impact she makes on her community. After hearing a news story about 4 brothers who had been removed from their home by the police after it was discovered that they were being starved by their parents, Catherine noticed that each child had been given a stuffed animal by the police officer, as a way of comforting them. Catherine was inspired to do her own stuffed animal drive and after receiving thousands of stuffed animals, she donated them to fire and police departments, as well as social services. In 2003, Project Smile was born with a broad mission: dedicated to helping people in need. In 2020, she launched another initiative called Suites & Smiles which provides work attire for men of all ages and ethnic backgrounds who face barriers to getting a job because they don't have the clothing they need to show up at a job interview. In this episode, Catherine gives advice to anyone who wants to create a non-profit. She also reflects on why doing what she does brings her so much joy, and what success really means.

When was the last time you said, "I am going to wake up and look for ways to perform random acts of kindness"? I'll wait... Bueller...Bueller...Bueller I know I haven't!

Dr. Anissa Holmes is the brains behind Delivering Wow. They are now releasing the Delivering Wow marketing content. It began from a difficulty for her own office to come up with ideas and campaigns to help keep content fresh. They have spent the past year developing copy and content in addition to specialty campaigns for 12 different high value services. Each one includes images, social media content, and even blog posts. There are also share funnels for each one. Why was it important to try it in her own practice first? She realizes that if her own office was having the issue, they weren't the only ones. Google is expensive because Google realizes that people are typing in to find things, so they charge a premium to advertise to those looking for specifics. Social media uses some of the same concepts from old school marketing, just updated to the current climate. The point is to get people talking about your practice. Consistency will be the key. Just copy the image, paste you applied information, and post your campaign. The campaign is about an idea and is aimed to get patients involved and sometimes your team as well. If your worried about getting stuck, there is an active community to share ideas and help you with your campaigns. Project Smile is a great campaign that gives away your own skills in dentistry to someone in need. The campaign only costs about $100. Engagement upwards of 5000 people have been noted, and it is the kind of campaign people will talk about and share. People submit their stories and photos about why they should be the recipient of Project Smile. It is a great way to make a direct impact in their community. The marketing campaigns are usually $297/ month. Nifty deal is $197/ month the first month. Go to https://www.deliveringwowmarketing.com/monthlymarketing paying yearly will save you about $1500.

Speaker 1: Hi, guys. Welcome to another episode of the Delivering WOW Dental Podcast. Wow. It has been a while since I've come on and done a podcast from my car. Actually wanted to just jump in here and just tell you guys what I've been working on. I've been super busy, as many of you guys know, building out the back end of our Delivering WOW Platinum Mastermind program, which is where we have all of the different industry coaches. We've also been working in the mastermind creating content for our social bundles. We've been just adding on more and more resources for members who are currently in our programs. So, a lot of focus has been put to that, which, unfortunately, means that I have not been as consistent with the podcast. But fortunately, all of that work, or the majority of it, is behind me. I'm really excited to get back to our podcasts from the car. Speaker 1: Today, I actually wanted to talk to you guys about the power of creating an impact in your community. I actually just had a doctor who was going through our Facebook Bootcamp. They did a Project Smile, which many of you guys have heard me talk about Project Smile, which is a smile makeover competition that allows you to be able to come together with your team to be able to select someone to come in for a free smile makeover. What's really cool is, of course, it really connects you as a team. You serve the community. And ultimately, in terms of marketing and Facebook, it brings a lot of exposure to your business in a really, really positive way. Speaker 1: But, what was really neat is that this doctor actually tagged me. He was showing the video. This was the reveal of him and the patient. He's got the biggest hug ever from the patient, and what he said was, "It really feels good to be a dentist." It's so interesting that so many times I hear dentists that are coming to me that are burnt out, and they're tired, and they're exhausted. It's not easy being a dentist having to help patients with all of the emotional things that they've had to deal with in the past surrounding dental experiences and having to help them with that, having to manage people, having to work with different suppliers to get the lowest costs. It's not easy to run a dental business, let alone the toll that it takes on our bodies from having to sit in specific positions and things like that. So having this doctor say, "Wow. It feels good to be a dentist," it really made me feel good because it shows that, number one, the work that I'm doing to be able to help dentist is so powerful and it's so important, but it also shows how we as dentists can reconnect and find back our purpose and our passion. That really had me to start thinking about practices, purposes, and practices, gives. Speaker 1: A lot of times, we just go through the day and we don't think about our purpose. The purpose of our practice is definitely something that has not as much to do with teeth but what we're doing to leave a legacy in our communities. Interestingly, it has nothing to do with the money that we make. So, our purpose is, why do we exist? Why are we serving others? Speaker 1: And when you start looking at creating your purpose and your why, and you are having that culture in the practice, then what happens is that you're able to attract team members who are aligned and who are drawn to that purpose. It's really interesting is that when you look at a life cycle of a business, many times there are ups, and there are downs, and there are times when things are going really well, and there's a ton of new patients, and you're closing a lot of cases. Then, all of a sudden, you see that you have a slow month or you see that maybe there's a team member that is experiencing personal pain in their family and it kind of draws on everyone. So, that happens in every business. Speaker 1: Where you start to have a practice or when you have a practice that has a purpose, what you see is that you have team members that no matter if you're up, no matter if you're down, they're going to be there with the practice owner. They're going to be aligned to helping the business to be able to get over any struggles that it's going through. And again, when you start looking at what is the purpose and the purpose is to change the lives of your patients, when you start looking at what is the purpose, which is to give them better health, what happens is that when you start looking at case acceptance, then false beliefs that a patient cannot afford treatment or your beliefs that they will not be able to will not stand in the way of you telling people what they really need. Speaker 1: I see that a lot with talking to doctors. I say, "What is going on?" Actually had this happen recently with one of the practices that I work with one-on-one in my inner circle. We were going through their numbers, and their hygiene production per visit was really low. I'm like, "Why is this number low?" Everything else has been increasing like crazy. They smashed their production goals, and they've smashed their collection goals, and the doctor production per visit has gone way up, and their AR 30 days and up has been reduced significantly. So, they're working on so many things, and I said, "Well, what is going on with hygiene?" They said that essentially the hygienist had a patient that they offered a sealant to and the patient said, "I'm too old for this," and essentially told the hygienists that they didn't want to have the service done. From that point, the hygienist had in their mind that they were not going to offer that service because people didn't want it. Speaker 1: I'm here today to tell you that there's always going to be people that, number one, are not going to want what you're offering. Then, there are also times when people really don't understand how what you're offering them can truly help them. So when we are so certain that something can help them, it's really important that we break through that noise. I told the doctor and the office manager, I said, "What could have been said is that Miss Joe ... Just say, 'Miss Joe, you're being so funny. Actually, what's really interesting is that we have tons of patients who are even in their 70s that are getting sealants because they don't want to have a cavity pop up. They're in a position where they are getting older, and they have to worry about taking care of getting a cavity or having a toothache. So if we can prevent that, it makes a ton of sense, right?'" Speaker 1: So, sometimes it's just a little bit of coaching and verbal skills that we have to do with our team members. But what's interesting is that we have these concepts that happen with doctors as well. So they'll say, "Well, a patient really can't afford to have these implants or this number of implants, and so we're going to give them an alternate procedure or we're going to recommend something different." And in your mind, you're saying that and you haven't even spoken to them. You haven't even told them what you feel honestly is the best thing for them. Speaker 1: What's really important is that when you start looking at talking to patients, you have to talk to them as if the money doesn't matter. Because the fact is that it really doesn't. Because if we're serving people and we're telling them what we really need from our heart, they see that we care, and you're going to have patients to accept the treatment that you recommend. And when they do, of course, the funds will come in. Speaker 1: Again, I just wanted to talk to you about purpose and passion. Because if our purpose and our passion is to be able to serve people, to be able to help them, to make sure that they're healthy, to make sure that they're going to have peace of mind, then it's really important that we are all in with that purpose and we don't let false beliefs and internal beliefs get in our way of doing what we know is best. Speaker 1: Another final point to leave with on this podcast is to find a bigger calling. Find a bigger calling in your practice that will have you to keep working really, really hard. It could be that you want to be the number one practice known for helping patients who have sleep apnea. It could be that you want to be the number one practice known for helping patients who have dentures to be able to get a note, another option to be able to eat and have confidence. So, you're going to do everything that it takes to be able to get out there and serve. Speaker 1: And, again, having a purpose and a why, getting back to the beginning of the doctor that did the Smile Makeover Competition, there is nothing that you can do that's more impactful than to gift someone a beautiful smile. So if you've not had an opportunity to start Project Smile, I encourage you to do that. It would really significantly allow you to be able to, again, connect with your team and to be able to change someone's life. Speaker 1: All right, guys. So that is it for today. Thanks so much for listening. If you've not already joined us, make sure you join us on the inside of our Facebook group, and that is deliveringwowhangout.com. All right, guys. Take care. Until next time, keep Delivering WOW.

What's up guys, it's Anissa. I am super pumped to be on today. I am actually heading out to Funnel Hacker Live, which is in Nashville, is a coming together of 3,500 and more marketers from all over the world. What's really interesting is that I used to feel a little bit embarrassed or a little bit ashamed to let people know how passionate I was about Funnels and about helping dentist or by using Funnels to be able to grow businesses and it's really interesting. This summer I was traveling to Kenya, many of you guys know that when we launched our first online coaching program, which was Delivering Wow U, all of the money that we actually made for the startup of that product actually was donated to village impact, which is a community organization that builds schools in Africa. So I actually built a classroom along with a few other members of the ClickFunnels community and we went to Kenya this summer to open up our classrooms. But anyway, I was in the van with Russell Brunson, who was the founder of ClickFunnels and he told me something that was so impactful for me and not just for me, but for all of you and for the entire industry of dental. I was telling him about what I've been doing in my practice and what's been happening with those doctors that have been through our marketing programs and he was blown away. What's really interesting is that typically with Digital Funnels, you're looking at sending people to a page where they can get some useful information and give you their email address and phone number in exchange for something. So it could be for a [inaudible 00:02:08], could be for a checklist, it could be for example, the weekly printables that you guys are getting. But in the dental world we are offering, for example, seven consultations this week for Invisalign and click here to see if you apply, right. Based on the response, they just might qualify and by doing this process, we're able to not only get people that are interested in coming in, but it gives us an opportunity to capture information so that we can contact them and see if they really truly are ready to get started and if the procedures are in their budget and if not, offer an alternate procedure for example, maybe a denture instead of an implant or maybe a cleaning to at least get them in and get started. The other cool thing about Funnels is that once people are giving you their information, they are now able to start receiving immediate emails from your business, which means that you're going to continue that nurture process and continue to stay in front of them. But I was talking to Russell and I was like, what's really neat is that a lot of marketers think that the Funnel is the Funnel, but the Funnel is actually what happens before people ever go to your landing page. What has worked extremely well for me as well as my students is by doing engagement campaigns. So that's going to be the Project Smile or collecting clothes for charity that goes to get a local charity in your community or doing a 12 day prize giveaway with prizes donated from strategic partner businesses or getting out and treating a hundred kids for free. Those are the things that people will want to share, things that people will want to connect with and ultimately what sets the story of what makes your practice different and unique and if you use social media as a tool, then what happens is that now you're able to re-target anyone who has commented on any of these campaigns, if it's been shared to their newsfeed or anyone who has shared the campaigns or liked the campaigns and these are sort of campaigns that absolutely truly work. I actually received a message last night from Dr. Ann when she's in California and she is one that really wanted social media to work for her and she had tried everything and then she joined our program. Just by doing Project Smile, which is the smile makeover competition, it transformed her practice and it was probably about five months ago that she had it. I think she had 40,000 people to actually view her video, but it's been transformation of what's happened after. So what I spoke to Russell about was that, this is the key in healthcare. It's not giving people at $39 coupon, it's not buy one, get one free. I mean, this is about people's health, right? If you can educate them and get inside of their mind, how this treatment that you're offering can help them, can make them feel better, can make them look better, can make them healthier, then you're able to get someone in who otherwise would have never had treatment and you can change your life. So I said, for me, Funnels are a tool. But really it's about how do we build trust with people who have no idea who we are so that when they come in, we don't have to take so long to get through that trust cycle. How do we have it where they've seen our testimonials of our patients? We just posted yesterday a patient on our Facebook page who came in and he said that he had been seeing our ads on Facebook and he was a little bit skeptical, like how could this really be true? But he just kept seeing so many posts of people that were happy and he started to continue to see what we were doing in the community. He decided to just go ahead and make the phone call and he's like, "Everything that they say here is real and it's true and they care about you". He talked about the service that he had, that he had perio and he's been other places and his gums weeks later would still bleed and he came to our practice and after his first visit, he was surprised at how gentle the procedure was because he had never experienced that in the past. Now he was coming back in for a follow up visit and his gums had significantly stopped bleeding and he was just going on and on and on about his treatment. Now, imagine which we did, we boost this post out to people who are living on specific streets in our neighborhood that we want to have more patients come in from or we have this shown to people who have seen our post about our community impact events. So they have seen information about us giving back to the community, now they're seeing testimonials of patient. Well, if they're not ready to come in right now as a patient, maybe they just had a cleaning somewhere else. I can assure you that that seed has been planted in their mind that the next time they have a dental visit, they're going to consider if they're in the right place or if they are talking to a friend who is saying that they have a dental issue, your practice is going to be top of mine. So to me that is what a Funnel is about. It's getting people from not knowing who you are, to getting them to follow you and become a raving fan even before they're a patient. It's really interesting because I am really big about ROI. Like if you're going to spend marketing dollars, you want to see that immediate return. But the interesting thing is that with Facebook, the immediate return is not just from that patient, but all of the people that they talk about your practice to like their friends and their family and their coworkers. That's the huge benefit because you're creating this viral effect of word of mouth. So traditionally, it would take a really long time to build up that rapport in your community on what happens with social media is that you have a shortcut. I was telling all of this to Russell in the van, we were in Kenya and I was like, "This is how Healthcare Funnels work" and after they have gone through the process of getting to know the business and seeing the testimonials, then when you put a Funnel in front of them that says, "Who's at risk for cavities? Take this quick quiz to find out" or "Who is a candidate for dental implants? Take this quick quiz to find out". These are the things that once they know who you are, they're going to be like, "Oh, I knew that, that business" and then next thing you know, they are on your email list and they're receiving information about that service and your practice is calling them and saying, "Thanks so much for your interest in our practice. We wanted to offer you are an opportunity to come in. We have a few spots this week where we're giving away a consultation for you to come in and get to know us and I have a few questions for you, right? It's based on that service, you know, I see that you've been missing teeth for a certain number time" or "I know that one of the areas that you wanted to focus on was this or that". When you do, again, when patients come in, they're ready and I've seen over the last nine years that we've used social media in my practice that when these patients come in and we ask them like, how did you get to know our practice? How did you hear about us? And they say Facebook, I internally smile because I know that I am not going to have to take a few visits to be able to nurture them, to trust us. I know that they've seen us already, they're ready to get started and our case acceptance rate significantly increases. A lot of times people talk about different forms of marketing and why I'm so passionate about Facebook marketing or Funnel marketing is that we literally can get in the ears and the eyes of people who otherwise would have been afraid to go to the dentist and because they see what we're doing, they start to trust us and the fear starts to break down over time and we can help them. Many of us have unique skills, right? We go to extra training and we learn how to do additional services, whether it's help patients who have sleep apnea or we are skilled at placing dental implants or we've invested in the time to learn how to do Ortho in our practice. But we keep that knowledge inside and no one knows that we are a doctor that loves to do that or they're not even thinking about us because we're not putting ourselves in front of them and it's like out of sight, out of mind, which is why I am such a huge fan of marketing. Even if you're in a position where you're busy and you actually don't have the capacity to see more patients at this time, it's really important to still continue with marketing perhaps who are different purpose, perhaps not giving call to actions for people to schedule. But your putting yourself in front of them so that you stay relevant because as you know, businesses that come out of mind, what happens is that ultimately they lose that ability to be top of mind on people's tongues and you definitely want to make sure that, that doesn't happen to your practice. I definitely recommend that you look at and take a really close look at what you're doing for your marketing and your business. Social media is the easiest and fastest way to be able to tell your practice a story, take people behind the scenes, show them all of your patients who are extremely happy with the work that you're doing, with the way that they're treated and it's a message that needs to be heard. If you've gone to dental school for years, it's really your obligation to let people know how you can help them. Because if you don't, you are not in my opinion, impacting as many people as you truly can. So I hope this word of inspiration inspires you to look at your marketing, to look at what you're doing and to perhaps make some shifts. Again, this isn't going to be, it's already started off, but it's going to be a really, really good year for all of you. You are in the right place and you're in the right tribe and we are certainly here to help you along your journey. All right guys, so I am almost at the airport.

I was just fourteen when I met the end, Missed my bus, and lost the plot, I was holding a pistol to my head, Prayin' for the strength to take a shot. I'd planned for months for this last day, When I'd wake up and take my father's gun, And end this game, that I can't play, I'm done, and I don't care who lost or won. I'm older now, and I sing with you, A simple song of grace. Will you sing it too, and see it through? Or leave without a trace . . . I don't fit in, can't climb those hills, See no future, no place to step down, It's not the weight, but the speed that kills. I can't swim the river, and can't get around. My bones are bending, my fingers bleeding, I tried and tried to get in the flow. I just want to be me, not something your reading, My hand says yes, but my heart says no, no, no. I'm older now, and I sing with you, A simple song of grace. Will you sing it too, and see it through? Or leave without a trace . . . I was ready to shoot that ball of lead, When I heard a voice crying out with me, You heard my prayers to be done and dead, Then you held me tight, and mostly disagreed. You said wait! Don't you think it's odd? that you're the only one feeling so unsure? Be yourself, forget your fancy façade. Don' fix it, it's aint broken, and can't be cured. I'm older now, and I sing with you, A simple song of grace. Will you sing it too, and see it through? Be strong and take your place. Song of Grace: Copyright 2012-2017 John Lopker & Lenore Thomson.
