THE HYGIENIST'S ROLE IN INTERNAL MARKETING WITH SHANNON RICHKOWSKI, DIRECTOR OF HYGIENE MASTERY

Shannon Richkowski, Director of Hygiene Mastery is interviewed by Kim McGuire in the first of a Podcast series on Peak Performing Hygiene Teams.  In this episode, Shannon describes the areas the Hygiene Team can be most impactful when it comes to Internal Marketing. 

Internal Marketing is the best and most efficient way for a Dental practice to thrive and grow. The steps that Shannon describes this system as first, taking an honest look at your belief systems around asking for referrals.  Do you have a limiting belief that must shift to a more empowering belief?  Second, you must practice and implement the system of asking for referrals in the hygiene department.  The hygienist spends so much quality time building relationships with the patients, they are the perfect person to ask for a referral.  Shannon gives us a great script for incorporating this in the practice.  Next, Shannon describes the mindset of being about possibility and opportunity in the hygiene department.  And last, we discuss the different ways of thanking our patients for referring their friends and family to the practice.
