Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The ROI Obsession That's Costing You Growth
Q: How should dentists approach working with a marketing agency to ensure accountability and real ROI?
The discussion highlights requiring transparency in ad spend, access to exact keywords, and visible attribution practices, plus ongoing coaching and accountability rather than one-off campaigns.
The ROI Obsession That's Costing You Growth
Q: What are the three buckets of marketing and why do most dentists stop at the second bucket?
She outlines foundational branding, lead generation, and brand recognition/education as the three buckets, noting that many dentists stop after lead generation due to comfort with short-term metrics and underappreciation of long-term brand work.
The ROI Obsession That's Costing You Growth
Q: Is there really a universal ROI formula for dental marketing, or is that an oversimplification?
Grace explains that while ROI exists and tracking is possible, most marketing success comes from understanding the patient journey and applying a holistic framework rather than chasing a one-size-fits-all formula.
[REPLAY] The Pulse of the Practice: Balancing Team Energy and Measurable Success
Q: Sandy, what is one small step that a practice can take just this week to get everyone on board, even the skeptical ones?
