About

If you’re a dental professional (Dentist, Hygienist, TCO, Dental Nurse or Practice Manager), you may be ‘put off’ by the term selling. I know I was before I understood what ‘true consultative selling’ is.

Very often it’s because we have a preconceived idea of what ‘selling’ is, or it’s because we’ve had our own bad experience with a poor salesperson. Maybe it was when we were buying a car, or a house, or a holiday and we felt pressurised by the salesperson. THAT is not consultative selling. That is untrained, ill-timed, inappropriate pitching.

That is not what we recommend. EVER!

Take this amended excerpt from the bestselling book INSPIRE, INFLUENCE, SELL.

Selling is serving

You’re helping your patients get what they really they need, and you’re ensuring they choose you to provide it for them. You should be establishing a foundation that is ethical, honest and about serving your patient to ensure their desires, wants and needs are met fully.

It’s not possible to do this without ‘consulting’ with the patient. Let’s look at the steps:

• Connecting with the patient, establishing trust.
• Sharing your insights, knowledge and experience.
• Asking them questions about their needs, wants, desires, fears and priorities.
• Helping them understand the available options and which of them might be most suitable.
• Addressing any concerns or reservations in an objective, calm and relaxed manner.
• Clearly explaining the patient pathways, the timing and the investment theywould like to make in their future oral health.

Does this sound like selling? Perhaps it doesn’t and when you follow these steps (and the INSPIRe system) then it won’t feel like selling.

But your patient will feel a connection, an understanding and an experience like they’ve never had before.
