If your schedule is packed, but your profits aren’t growing…
If you're exhausted by high-maintenance, price-sensitive patients…
If your marketing budget feels like it’s vanishing into a black hole...

Then today’s episode is for you.

In this episode, Dr. Yazdan shares the most common mistakes dentists make in their marketing—and exactly how to start attracting the right patients who value your expertise, respect your time, and drive revenue.
 
You’ll learn:
📌 Why “we put patients first” is not a marketing strategy
📌 The 3 marketing metrics that actually matter (hint: it’s not clicks or reach)
📌 How to finally define your ideal patient—and speak directly to them
📌 What your calendar says about your messaging
📌 The biggest mistake dentists make with marketing agencies (and how to fix it fast)
📌 The internal marketing goldmine you’re probably ignoring
 
💡 Key Takeaways:
✅ Marketing isn’t about being available to everyone—it’s about attracting the people you’re best at serving.
✅ You get what you market for—so check your content, your ads, and even your Instagram captions.
✅ If your budget isn’t being tracked, it’s being wasted. Full stop.
✅ You don’t need to spend more—just market smarter.
 
🧪 Marketing Metrics that Matter:
1.	Cost Per Lead (CPL): How much are you paying for each inquiry?
2.	Lead-to-Patient Conversion Rate: Are those leads turning into booked (and kept) appointments?
3.	Patient Lifetime Value (LTV): What is each patient worth to your practice over time?
When you know these numbers, you’ll stop throwing money at random ads and start building real, sustainable growth.
 
💰 BONUS: Internal Marketing Strategies That Cost $0 (But Work Like Crazy)
📈 Review Collection Systems
📈 Referral Request Systems (with before & after books!)
📈 Reactivation Campaigns via email or text
These three strategies alone can drive massive growth—without touching your ad budget.
 
💬 Favorite Quotes from the Episode:
“You get what you market. Plain and simple.”
“If you’re not tracking your campaigns, your budget is going into a black hole.”
“Internal marketing is a goldmine—most dentists aren’t doing enough of it.”

today’s episode is a powerful one.
We’re digging into what really holds you back from reaching your next level of success. Spoiler alert: it’s not your systems, your team, or your marketing.
It’s YOU.
Specifically—your mindset, your need for approval, and the mental drama you didn’t even realize you were stuck in.

This episode came straight from a real-life conversation Dr. Yazdan had with a group of dentists, and it's full of the exact coaching she gives inside SMDP that leads to massive growth.
 
💡 In this episode, you’ll uncover:
🧠 Why strategy alone won’t get you results (and what will)
🔥 How your brain’s motivational triad keeps you small
🙅‍♀️ Why people-pleasing is destroying your authenticity
🗣️ The danger of drama bonding (especially in dental FB groups)
⚖️ The key difference between caring and over-carrying
💬 What to do when you’re worried about what others will say
💥 How to build emotional strength by embracing discomfort
 
✅ Key Mindset Shifts:
•	Success begins in your brain—not your systems.
•	Your results are a product of your decisions—and your thinking.
•	Approval-seeking is a silent dream-killer.
•	Drama is dopamine in disguise—and it’s draining your potential.
•	You don’t need to defend yourself. You need to decide who you’re becoming.
 
✨ Favorite Quotes from This Episode:
“If you accept responsibility for everything, you have the power to change everything.”
“Drama weakens you. Negativity bonding won’t grow your business—it just makes you feel ‘right’ while staying stuck.”
“You can be a badass and still fail. In fact, it’s impossible not to.”

Let’s talk about freedom.
Not just more money or more patients—but actual freedom in your dental practice.
In today’s episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down why lack of systems is the biggest bottleneck keeping dental practice owners overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid.
This episode is for the dentist who's already doing well—but knows there’s another level of growth and ease that feels totally out of reach. The answer isn't better staff. It's not more technology. It's building the right systems.
 
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
🛠️ Why no system = you becoming the system
📉 How chaos shows up daily when protocols are missing
✅ What makes a protocol effective, scalable, and actually used
👥 Why your team keeps coming to you for direction (and how to stop it)
📈 How systems unlock true growth—even when you’re not in the office
🧠 Why burnout, drama, and bottlenecks vanish with predictability
 
✨ Big Takeaways:
•	Protocols don’t eliminate problems—they reduce and predict them.
•	If your team can’t operate without you, you don’t have systems—you have assistants.
•	You don’t need to start over—just capture what’s working and simplify.
•	Growth without burnout requires predictability—and that comes from systems.
 
📝 Examples of High-Impact Systems:
•	Emergency appointment protocol
•	Pre-screening process for all new patients
•	Scheduling templates that protect production
•	Financial presentation scripts for case acceptance
•	Cancellation “rescue” systems that fill last-minute gaps fast
 
🧪 Real Results From SMDP:
One doctor inside Systems for a Million Dollar Dental Practice cut their cancellation rate by over 10% in just 30 days with a simple schedule rescue system.
✅ Standardized confirmations
✅ ASAP patient lists
✅ Clear front desk templates
✅ Team incentives aligned to fill gaps quickly
They stopped reacting—and started growing.
 
💬 Ask Yourself:
•	Where is chaos still showing up in your practice?
•	Is there a system for that?
•	Is it written down?
•	Is your team actually following it?
If the answer is “no” to any of these… it’s time to fix that.
 
🎯 Ready to Build Real Systems That Set You Free?
Inside SMDP, you’ll get the shortcuts, templates, and coaching to:
🔹 Build protocols that stick

🔑 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
•	✅ What “the manual” really is (hint: it’s not a policy binder!)
•	✅ How invisible expectations lead to frustration and burnout
•	✅ Why micromanagement isn’t a people problem — it’s a systems problem
•	✅ The 6 steps to replace your manual with real, repeatable systems
•	✅ How to separate thoughts from facts so you can lead with clarity
•	✅ The secret to handling hard conversations without emotions
•	✅ A simple homework assignment to start cleaning up your systems now
 
🧠 Key Takeaways:
•	Everyone has a manual. It’s the unspoken expectations in your head that your team can’t read — but you still hold them accountable to.
•	Manuals lead to miscommunication, micromanagement, and mental fatigue.
•	Systems create freedom. When you turn your expectations into documented, trainable processes, you can lead with facts instead of feelings.
•	Training is not a one-time event. Systems only work if you continuously train and reinforce them.
•	Accountability matters. Tie every expectation to a measurable KPI to remove drama and keep performance clear.
 
✏️ Action Step This Week:
Pick one area of your practice that’s causing frustration and ask yourself:
•	Do I have an invisible manual here?
•	Have I documented the process?
•	Have I trained the team thoroughly?
•	Is there a way to measure and track it?
If not, that’s your next step.

In this episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest (and most frustrating) challenges dental practice owners face: staff turnover. If you’ve ever hired someone great, trained them for months, only to lose them six months later—you’re not alone. But what if the problem isn’t your people… it’s your systems?
I’m sharing exactly how strategic systems for hiring, onboarding, and retention can help you build a loyal, consistent, and high-performing team.

Whether you’re hiring right now or just tired of constant turnover, this episode will help you lead with clarity, keep your best team members, and reduce the stress of staffing issues.

👋 Episode Overview:
Dr. Yazdan kicks off this episode with a personal moment — celebrating her daughter’s 6th birthday in a more intentional and low-key way. It’s a perfect segue into today’s topic: slowing down to scale smarter — by building the right systems inside your dental practice.
In this episode, you’ll learn the four core systems that high-profit dental practices all have in place — systems that drive clarity, increase case acceptance, and remove friction so your practice can grow without requiring more hustle from you.
Whether you're just starting out or you’ve been running your practice for years, this is a must-listen episode to transform how your business operates day-to-day.
 
🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
💡 1. Patient Flow Systems
•	Why patient flow isn’t just about where patients go — it’s about how they decide.
•	The 3 key questions every patient interaction should answer.
•	How bottlenecks like insurance verification and checkout delays sabotage growth.
•	How to train your team to guide patients toward “yes” at every touchpoint.
💰 2. Financial Tracking Systems
•	Go beyond production and collections: track the story of your money.
•	Real-life example of a practice unknowingly over-relying on hygiene.
•	How to use data to diagnose issues like low case acceptance or lack of new patients.
•	The 3 questions your financial reports should answer every month.
🧾 3. Team Accountability Systems
•	Why accountability is not micromanagement.
•	How to use role-specific scorecards to track performance.
•	Examples of measurable outcomes for team roles.
•	How “self-policing accountability” boosts ownership and performance.
📣 4. Marketing Systems
•	Why running ads alone isn’t a strategy — it’s gambling.
•	The 3 pillars of a real marketing system:
1.	Internal marketing
2.	External marketing
3.	Follow-up marketing
•	How high-profit practices convert leads into long-term patients through education and automation.
 
📝 Episode Highlights:
•	"High-profit practices don’t make money by accident. They measure the right things, consistently."
•	"Marketing isn’t just about leads — it’s about building trust, nurturing relationships, and guiding patients to say yes."
•	"Accountability should be baked into your systems, not your personality."
 
✅ Episode Takeaway:
Choose one system from today’s episode and ask yourself:
“What’s one change I can make this week to bring more clarity, consistency, and profitability into my practice?”
Start small — but start intentionally.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Most practice owners think profitability issues come from one big problem… but often, it’s a handful of small, consistent inefficiencies silently draining revenue.
In this episode, Dr. Yazdan breaks down the three most common profit leaks she sees in dental offices — and how to fix them fast.
 
💸 The 3 Biggest Profit Leaks in Dental Practices:
1. Time on Your Schedule
•	One lost hour per day = $12,000/month down the drain (or more!)
•	🔧 Solutions:
o	Confirmation protocols that build commitment, not just reminders
o	Intentional short-notice lists to quickly fill last-minute openings
o	Strategic block scheduling to prioritize high-value procedures during prime hours
•	🎧 Listen to related episodes on scheduling for deeper strategies.
 
2. Unaccepted Treatment
•	If you're diagnosing $100k/month and only scheduling 40%, you’re leaking $60k.
•	🔧 Solutions:
o	Boost same-day treatment acceptance (target: 70–80%)
o	Clearly communicate financing options to reduce hesitation
o	Build strong follow-up systems: automated emails, texts, and personal calls
o	Assign team members to own follow-ups — this is a game changer
 
3. Overhead & Inventory
•	Are your cabinets full of expired supplies? Or are you paying for unused software?
•	🔧 Solutions:
o	Designate an “inventory manager” to monitor usage and control ordering
o	Perform quarterly audits of subscriptions and software
o	Renegotiate vendor contracts annually — don’t pay retail if you don’t have to
 
🛠 Action Step of the Week:
Choose ONE area:
•	🗓 Scheduling
•	🦷 Treatment follow-up
•	📦 Overhead
Audit it. Find the leak. Implement one simple system to stop it.
This is the fastest way to increase profitability — without more patients, more hours, or more stress.

🔥 Episode Summary:
Hello Dentists, and Happy December! As we approach the end of the year, today’s episode is here to give you a powerful mindset shift that could change how you lead your practice moving forward.
Whether you hit your 2025 goals or not, this is a message you need to hear:
Being “ready” is a myth.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 4-stage success cycle that every thriving practice owner goes through:
Start → Suck → Learn → Get Better.
You’ll hear how this applies to everything from implementing new systems with your team, to finally stepping into leadership, to just doing the uncomfortable things you’ve been putting off — like assessments, meetings, or setting expectations.
Because let’s be honest… the perfect time doesn’t exist.
You don’t need more reviews to start marketing.
You don’t need a flawless team to lead better.
You don’t need to wait until January to start making real change.
You just need to start — messy, uncomfortable, and real.
✨ Progress > Perfection.
 
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
•	Why “being ready” is a mental roadblock, not a real one
•	The exact 4-step framework every successful dentist follows to grow
•	How to push past team resistance and leadership discomfort
•	Why starting now — even imperfectly — is the most strategic move you can make
•	Real-life examples from my own journey as a practice owner
•	Simple, powerful action steps you can take THIS WEEK to move forward
 
🛠️ Episode Challenge:
Choose one thing you’ve been putting off in your practice because you “weren’t ready” — and take imperfect actionon it this week.
Start the weekly meeting.
Hold that huddle.
Implement the system.
Launch the marketing.
Invest in the coaching.
🚫 No more waiting.
✅ Just starting.

Next time you catch yourself thinking:

If you’ve ever felt stuck below the million-dollar mark (or hovering just above it with no clear plan to scale), this episode is a must-listen.
Because more hustle won’t fix broken systems. But one intentional hour a week just might.

•	A weekly framework called the 3-Step Practice Reset to implement right away

Episode Summary:
💬 Episode Summary
If you’ve ever said:
•	“I don’t have time to make content.”
•	“I don’t know what to post.”
•	Or “I’m not dancing on Reels!”
This episode is for you.
Good news: you don’t have to dance. You just have to connect.
In this episode, Dr. Desiree Yazdan breaks down exactly what kind of Instagram content builds trust, attracts new patients, and helps you grow your practice without feeling cringey or fake.
You’ll learn how to post with purpose — not perfection — and how to create content that makes people feel something.
Because at the end of the day, people don’t follow you for dental tips.
They follow you because they’re looking for transformation — hope, confidence, beauty, and relief.
 
💡 What You’ll Learn:
•	Why people actually follow a dentist on social media (spoiler: it’s not for clinical details)
•	The 3 content pillars that will keep your feed from ever feeling boring
•	Real examples of story-driven posts that build connection and trust
•	How to bring emotion into your posts without feeling awkward or salesy
•	What “authenticity” really means when it comes to marketing
•	How to stay consistent without burning out
 
🧠 The 3 Content Pillars:
Every post should do one of these three things:
1.	Inspire — Make your audience feel something.
2.	Educate — Teach simply and clearly.
3.	Connect — Let people see the human behind the mask.
 
 
🔥 Key Takeaways:
•	People don’t buy teeth. They buy how those teeth make them feel.
•	You don’t have to be funny, loud, or extroverted to be effective online — you just have to be yourself.
•	If your content feels human, it will connect. If it feels robotic, it won’t.
•	Consistency doesn’t mean posting daily — it means showing up with purpose.
 
🪞 Try This Exercise:
Before you post, ask yourself:
👉 “Would I say this out loud to my favorite patient?”
If not, rewrite it until it sounds like you — not a marketer.
