Sharing vs. oversharing (authenticity helps define this) Content creators and "feeding the beast" What works on Instagram Alan's fat thumbs How to delegate office social media How do you know what will get social media traction? (Goats, the answer is goats.) Instagram Stories vs. main page Al's bleach accident on his dad Jeni and Vince are engaged to be married and they work together (a little bit...not full time) Vince's amazing/interesting business model (traveling orthodontist) Bioclear + orthodontics is a match made in heaven Selling and buying specialty practices CE for specialists (orthodontists specifically) Orthodontists and aligners.

Let’s say you’re at the Chicago Midwinter meeting and you’re looking for a great ramen restaurant. There are a lot of them, so how do you choose? Well obviously...you look at the reviews! Consumers are drawn to good reviews when they’re looking for any kind of business and your dental office is no different. Our friends at YAPI understand this. YAPI™ generates quality, authentic online reviews by automatically inviting your patients to leave reviews on the sites that matter most, such as Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades. With YAPI™, your patients get an automatic review request via SMS with a link that allows them to post a review while they are still in your office or any time later. YAPI™ also makes it easy for your patients to relate any negative experience directly with your practice. This feature helps collect feedback from patients, and it encourages any patient who may have had less than ideal experience to reach out to your practice and share their concerns privately. Your office can really benefit from great reviews in all the right places and YAPI can make it happen! Check out Instareview and all of the other great features YAPI has to offer at dentalhacks.com/YAPI. YAPI. It’s a funny name, but it’s serious software!
