The Relationship of a Mentorship

Most dental practices don’t lose money on marketing because they don’t spend enough; they lose it because they spend without a plan. Over time, unstructured advertising, disconnected tactics, and unrealistic expectations quietly add up to six-figure losses. In this session, we’ll break down the most common marketing mistake dentists make, why it happens, and how to build a smarter, more predictable advertising approach tied directly to practice collections. Attendees will see real-world examples of how strategic planning, channel balance, and clear measurables can turn marketing from a guessing game into a growth engine.
