About - Dental Practice Growth

Dental Practice Growth?

Hi, I’m Richard and I’m a dental marketing consultant based in the UK.

I’ve set-up this new site because I get a lot of questions about what dentists can do to bring in new patients, sell more high-end treatments and achieve their other business growth goals.

Dental marketing is confusing!

There are hundreds of marketing companies asking for your money in exchange for multitudes of services on dozens of digital platforms.

And all this when you’ve already got enough on your plate taking care of patients, running your business and keeping up with changes in dentistry!

So, I’ve created this site as a go-to resource for clients and friends so you can get all the information you need, in an accessible format, fast!

Which marketing services do you really need?
In what order?
And how can you tell if they’ve actually paid off or not?

These are the types of questions I’ll be answering here – together with any others you need help with (just send them in using the form below!)

On this site you’ll find regular blog posts about what’s working in dental marketing and what you need to watch out for.

If you join the mailing list, you’ll also have access to free courses, email tips and my newsletter.

I’m going to make sure you have everything you need to know about SEO, social media, etc, to make it work for your practice – without taking up weeks of your time or drowning you in tech babbble!

About Me

In 2003 I set up a consulting business in Tokyo working with international clients like Bulgari, Servier and ExxonMobil to help them improve performance in a variety of areas including sales, presentation skills, public relations and marketing.

My first experience with digital marketing was learning it to promote my own business. I built my first website in 2002 before becoming interested in video marketing and SEO. I became a professional digital marketing consultant in 2010.

I decided to specialise in dental marketing largely because I’d enjoyed working in beauty/high-end services from my years working with Bulgari and because I found the clinical/results/transformational side of dentistry interesting.

I now run the Dental Connections marketing agency. We help dentists attract and educate the right patients so they can sell more high-end treatments using a wide array of marketing strategies, from SEO and video to email and content marketing.

I always want to be the best so I invest a lot in learning from the leaders in their fields.

In terms of digital marketing and business growth strategies, I’ve learned in person from many of the world’s top experts including Jay Abraham, Jeff Walker, Don Crowther, and Paul Lemberg.

In the field of performance development, I became a Registered Corporate Coach (Worldwide Association of Business Coaches) at Dr. Tim Ursiny’s Action Coaching and Training in Chicago.

I completed Dr. Robert Mager’s training on performance development techniques at the Centre for Effective Performance in Atlanta (CEP provides training to over 80% of America’s Fortune 500 companies.)

I’ve also had the privilege to learn advanced performance development skills from renowned international business consultant and speaker, Dr. Alan Weiss, in London.
