A common frustration facing the dental practitioner today is how to attract more patients that take advantage of the treatment being offered.  Much of case acceptance courses deal with self evident materials to the seasoned practitioner.

The PrimeSpeak 3 day seminar teaches practitioners how to prime the patient’s beliefs before any treatment solutions are discussed. You will learn how to activate the psychological triggers that cause patients to chose optimum treatment, refer their friends and become a loyal patient.

This counter-intuitive system is totally unlike any other and is perfect in situations where the dentists perceives that the patient requires much more than the patient expects.  You will learn how to shape the patients wants, leading them to ask you for optimum treatment.  You will never feel like you are selling. You cannot get rejected.  

PrimeSpeak is a two part series.  PrimeSpeak 1 will teach you the principles about how to get patients to want optimum treatment without any sales pressure and PrimeSpeak 2 will provide skills practice.

This course is relevant for Dentists, Hygienists and any other team members who are involved with communicating with patients.
