BUSINESS EXPANSION PLAN
Our Vision & Purpose
Our wish for you, your children and family is to achieve the goal of never needing dental work inthe future.
Our purpose comes from the derivation of the word “doctor.” It comes from the latin word docere, which means “to show, teach or teach to know.”
We help achieve this goal of “teaching” with hygiene visits twice a year...a goal that can eliminate gum disease and future dental work for a lifetime.
This goal is our sincerest wish for you, your children and family!

MGS Dental has been in operation for approximately 12 years. The practice over these years has afforded steady growth with objectives to have stable patient flow, production and collections. The vision is to stably achieve and continue
a production goal averaging $100,000 per month, in both production and collections...an annual expectancy of $1.2 million per year.
The production of any monetary goal must have an underlying purpose of patient care and quality...a high and positive consumer Experience. Paramount to achieving any expansion is a structure of the business that focuses on 3 specific aspects:
1) Consumer acquisition (new patients)
2) Consumer Retention (recare/recall/reactivation) 3) Consumer Sales (treatment acceptance)

Internal Marketing/Website Feel & Look

These images are examples of “modernizing” any office. Light colors, white, light greys with small accents of purple ...like the outside of your building.

SECTION 2: MARKETING PLAN
Modernize Interior Design
Carry the motif, colors and branding to the interior of the building...i.e., light grey laminate- interlocking waterproof “faux wood” ...white/off white walls
accent adjacent walls light grey...match floor, accent of minor purple...i.e., chair coverings are black... keep them, they’re a neutral color for white/greys. ... Use glass where you can...or optically clear acrylic as different materials give a high tech look.
The below “Before” and “After” will give a concept. This is an overall strategy/plan...pieces of the plan can be done little by little...but your outside was gorgeously done...and when you get to the upgrade on the inside...just match what you did on the outside...clean, bright, marketing colors and it looks hygienic.

SECTION 3: RESIDUAL RETENTION BUSINESS MODEL
Ad Words
You are just now embarking on Ad Words and KEYWORDs placed on the backend are important for capturing clicks to your website. The below PPC (pay per click) Keywords are currently the top to be used and piloted. While there were 31 listed in the research article, the top 10 have far more relevance.
20
SECTION 3: RESIDUAL RETENTION BUSINESS MODEL
Implementation of Actions
There are initial actions to focus on to increase the new patients on a consistent and continual basis:
• Ad Words: I believe your budget was $1,000/mo. Pilot this for 2-3 months...with good keywords have Trevor watch the numbers and if ROI is good, increase budget to $1,500- $2,000
• Mailers to Neighborhoods
• Excellent Call Conversion...phone coverage during lunch hours and the days you are not in the office.
• Website ... see comparative of Tewksbury Dental Associates https://www.tewksburydentalassociates.com/
• Interior Upgrade (longer term strategically)
• Making Trevor an expert on Dental Marketing...NB: I will send him a series of Marketing Videos that will give him industry benchmarks and standards. He’s already tech savy as he’s doing your ad words.
Summary
You have several important factors that will affect your practice in the next 3 to 5 years. Foremost you have a high potential due to the non-competitive number of dentists in your area.
There’s really 3 to 4 strong offices. If you look at their websites they all have strong REVIEWS... Tewksbury Dental Associates has 712!
MGS has 141...you’re #3 or 4 in terms of volume of reviews...Trevor will be excellent at this to double your number!
Reviews in your area are USED...as the income range is high...and the volume of people in ages 25- 55 is the highest...they use devices, check reviews, etc.

Total households is 11,000... in a 2 square mile area...whoever wants to “own” the neighborhoods of Tewksbury can do it over the next several years. I will cover this in our Zoom meeting.

This document was put together to give you an overview and direction over the next year. It can be used as a reference for the objectives to be achieved.
The information as well as the planning can be modified as we move forward and/or changed. Let’s set our first Zoom meeting with Svetlana, yourself and Trevor.!!
