Why the Web?

Your Education did NOT Include a Computer HW Maintenance Class
Regardless of your role in the practice, whether you are the doctor, the office manager, the hygienist, or the dental assistant, your education most likely did NOT include any instruction on how to properly maintain computer hardware.
To the contrary, your purpose for practicing dentistry is to help people achieve and maintain good oral health. And I submit that the less time you spend managing backup procedures and installing updates the more time you can spend on numero uno: your patients!
When you use web-based dental software, like Curve Dental, to manage your practice you never worry about data backups nor hassle with software upgrades. That's not your concern, my friend, it's ours. And, funny thing, our formal education includes lots and lots of courses on computer technology. Don't spend another day masquerading as an IT pro, because we got you covered.
EXTENDED DEADLINE
Complimentary Data Conversion
Now's a really good time to break the chain to a server, my friend. The response to last month's offer was so well received that we would be silly not to extend it into November. Simply make the switch to Curve by December 31st and we'll convert your data at no additional charge to you. Call 888-910-4376 for details.

4 Steps for Finding Treasure in the Applicant Pool, Part I
|
 | | Jan Keller |
|
Power Thought: Jan Keller and Associates
Hiring new staff members can be a daunting process, especially as the consequences of making a mistake are costly -- in time, money and stress. It doesn't have to be that way. There are hidden 'treasures' in every applicant pool, and there is an easy 4-step process for finding them, and successfully integrating them into your practice. Let's look at this process in detail, step-by-step: - Clarify
- Screen
- Select
- Integrate
Step #1: Clarify Two of the most common errors dentists make when hiring new staff are 1) failure to clarify their own values; and 2): failure to ensure the candidate they choose shares those values. So the first question to ask, of course, is what are your core values? What matters most to you? Skills? Experience? Communication style? Is one more important than the other - communication style versus experience, for instance? Ask questions like these to help you form a picture in your mind of the perfect applicant - the "treasure": - What level of experience is preferred, or required?
- Should the applicant be a people person? A quick learner? Calm? Detail-oriented?
- What personality style complements yours, and/or your teams?
- What do you stand for and value? The right person for the job will have values similar to your own.
Next, clarify the job description and job qualifications. A good job description will include: - Job title
- Job summary
- Qualifications
- Education and experience
- Certificates, licenses and registrations
- Skills/Competencies
- Essential duties and responsibilities
Now you're ready to promote the position and build your applicant pool. Keep in mind, you must make an effort to create an ad that will attract the kind of treasure you are seeking. More About Jan Keller and Associates...

One Small Step for Me: What am I Creating?
|
 | | Katherine Eitel |
|
Power Thought: Katherine Eitel and Associates
One of the best weekends I ever spent professionally was at Marc LeBlanc's Achiever's Circle Weekend which is dedicated to Small Business Success. Among the many pearls I took away from that course was the idea of taking small steps (no matter how small) every day toward your future goals. He identifies these steps as "high value activities" (HVA's) and suggests that you aim for three every day. Marc's rules for HVA's are: "no carryover" (if you do more than three one day!) and no "negative numbers" (if you don't achieve your three). In other words, every day is a fresh start. Marc teaches that even a walk on the beach to clear your head or generate a necessary idea could qualify as an HVA if it is in service to the achievement of your goals and if it is done consciously and proactively as one of your three HVA's that day. What doesn't count is putting out a current fire, maintaining the status quo, or even servicing your current business. He's talking about steps toward what you are creating not steps toward managing what you already have. This is the piece that keeps us moving forward because without it, we stagnate and claim we can't move forward because .... "There's just no time." What are you creating? What are three things you could do each day this week that would move you closer toward that creation? A phone call? Googling something on the web? Sketching out a promotional piece? Creating a new web page? Going out for a walk to find clarity on your ideas? Whatever it is ... its one small step ... for YOU. More About Katherine Eitel and Associates...
