FJD was able to successfully network and meet with many professionals in the dental industry to help them with patient/customer propagation and acquisition. We also met with an organization of  particular interest called the SmileFaith Foundation. SmileFaith is a non profit organization located in New Port Richey, FL. with the simple goal of helping people smile again through substantial, charitable dental care and counseling. The SmileFaith Foundation began what’s known as the “Smile Again Program” which provides a funding plan tailored for each participant in financial need with dental treatment, encouragement through a variety of resources and counseling, as well as a brand new smile!

Dental practices who are seeking to build patient numbers as well as contribute to the community could benefit greatly from getting involved and partnering with SmileFaith. This type of public relations directs attention to your business and traffic to your website. It also genuinely helps those in need-it’s a win-win for everybody. Businesses who know the impact that “Cause Marketing” can have are growing quickly as a result. There is a vast difference between just simply offering your services to patients rather than offering your services plus the knowledge that you are involved in significant life changing charity work. This additional community involvement may give potential clients the extra bit of motivation they need in order to tip them over the edge and choose your products or services over someone else’s.

After making the rounds and talking to several vendors FJD had acquired some excellent business leads and learned some great insights from other business owners as well. We were also able to make some excellent affiliate contacts in order to foster future beneficial relationships.

You might be wondering if it would be more productive to stay in-house and work on building your contact database but I am a firm believer that there is no replacement for face to face time and meetings with local business owners. It’s that personal interaction that allows you to really connect with prospective clients and allow them to learn more about you and your business and establish trust. That’s an important key. We hope to see you next time for a productive time of networking and insight.

Keynote Speakers:
Edward Iacobucci, founder of Citrix Systems and CEO of DayJet
Brian Roulstone, CEO of QRI and co-author of ROI for Technology Projects

Presenters:
Tony DiBenedetto, CEO of Tribridge
