Transforming
Treatment Coordinators
Into Closers

TCI is all about Empowering and Training the Team 3 people selling in unison - Patient Advocate, Doctor, and Treatment Coordinator

High-performing practices have high-performing clinicians, But if the clinician is spending time and energy trying to close the case, They aren’t spending time and energy doing the cases; That’s why many run out of time!

The treatment coordinator needs to be the quarterback of the consultation and the primary closer.

TCI will provide the process, scripting psychology, and know-how to immediately increase your closing %

How Does It Work?

Let's Look at Some of the Most Common Problems that will Arise when you Scale:

Time!

There are only so many hours in a day. When we begin to close more arches it is very common for your schedule to appear to be “Full” very quickly… Resulting in pushing out new patient consultations more than 7-10 days in the future. You will need a system that allows you to complete MORE consultations in LESS time and utilize the Treatment Coordinator to handle the lions share of the communication to maximize productive hours for the doctor.

Unqualified Patients!

If you want to close Full Arch Cases in volume, you will need a lot of leads and opportunities. Many of the opportunities generated will have financial challenges or be unqualified all together. It’s much better to find that out BEFORE we invest time and energy into a full exam and consultation for a patient that ultimately has no means in which to pay for this type of treatment.

Price Shoppers!

 Full Arch is not a cheap service. It is a major expense for virtually the entire population. It is critical to have a strategy that will appeal to price shoppers both on the phone and during their consultation.

Negotiating!

You must understand the fundamentals of a negotiation and the difference in consumer psychology as it pertains to deciding which treatment is right for them vs. getting the best deal for the treatment. We must understand the difference between a sale and a negotiation.

The Deal!

We must show every patient that they are getting a great deal! They are getting more than what they are paying for and that they can’t beat or offer anywhere (That doesn’t mean that you need to be the lowest price…). We want everyone to feel good about the price and the fact that they are getting a great deal. This is all in the financial presentation strategy. This will become second nature!

Automation!

More arches means more consultations, more phone calls, more inquiries, more campaigns, and more content. We must utilize automation in every situation possible to save time in communication, scheduling, and lead management.

Bloom began her career as a world-class skier. While training as a pre-teen she was diagnosed with severe scoliosis and had to undergo surgery that the doctors said would end her athletic career. A year later, fully recovered, she was back on the slopes. She later joined the U.S. Ski Team and at 21 years old was ranked No. 3 in North America in moguls, but her Olympic dreams would go unrealized as she left the team to pursue other projects. This led her to what she thought would be a year sabbatical in LA.

Bloom was finishing her degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado – Boulder, and was in the process of applying to top tier Law Schools, when her assistant job turned her into an accidental entrepreneur, running one of the most exclusive, high-stakes underground poker games in the world, pulling in as much as $4 million per year. What happened next is where her story truly begins.
