Integrated Communication Quiz
Communication integration comes in many forms. It can be purposeful and public, interpersonal and relational, even accidental.
New dental practices have their own communication momentum and context. Being new to the community activates relationships and the building of the facility generates connections and various types of exposure.
Connections for the established dental practice have evolved, dissolved, and others diminished: personal, family, business, location, etc. Your upgraded training and vocational goals change how you approach communication. Even your perception of 'new dental marketing methods' versus how patients were attracted in the past affects your communication choices, actions, and results.
General demographics like the median age of patients also influences communication along with a myriad of other issues. This all needs to be added up to make long-term success possible.
