In a city packed with dental options, are you remembered or just another name?

The difference comes down to ground marketing that creates genuine connections, not just quick deals. In this episode, we explore how dental practices can break free from the endless cycle of discounts and competition by building relationships rooted in trust, affection, and visibility in the community.

Michael reveals a strategic approach to ground marketing that shifts from transactional tactics to authentic engagement. Instead of simply distributing coupons, you’ll learn to cultivate "psychological gravity" (making your practice a place where people feel both seen and appreciated.) Discover practical methods like thoughtful gifting to local businesses, collaborative content creation, and personalized outreach that make your dental practice irreplaceable. With step-by-step examples, from coffee shop partnerships to school involvement, this episode outlines four indispensable skills: 1. psychological gravity, 2. position power, 3. participation loops, and 4. proof cycles, empowering you to foster real loyalty and stand out as your community’s trusted dental home.
