Throughout these past few months, dentists and our supporters have come together on a massive scale, working day and night to get us through the seemingly impossible challenges that we face as dentists in a socially-distanced world. 

There has been lots of loss, but also, lots of resilience and the miracle of growth despite limited means and resources. I am incredibly grateful to all of the vendors, advisors, and colleagues that came together with one mission: survive and thrive. During the dark days of the pandemic, Nifty Thrifty dentists and supporters stepped up with new marketing techniques, cost-cutting legal strategies, resources such as N-95 masks, and countless other services designed to put patients back in chairs and keep us protected.  

The growth and determination within the dental community has been incredible. To honor and celebrate our ability to power through unprecedented challenges, I’m putting together a cost-free virtual summit featuring a team of experts and leaders eager to empower our community with the knowledge we need to grow even further during this time. 

For those of you who’ve gotten behind on our CE credits during all of the recent chaos, you also have the opportunity to opt into the paid version of the summit and collect up to sixteen CE credits right from the comfort of your own home. 

The Summit is going to feature sixteen incredible speakers that have offered to share their insight and strategies with us for free. This is an event you do not want to miss out on. For many of us, we may not be able to afford to miss it. 

Take a look just a quarter of the summit’s line up: 

1. Meet Susan McMahon DMD, an AACD-accredited cosmetic dental expert, lecturer, and author working at one of the largest cosmetic dental practices in Western Pennsylvania. She has devoted her career to the pursuit of advanced technologies in cosmetic and minimally invasive dentistry, frequently lecturing on this across the United States. Along with being voted Top Pittsburgh Dentist every year for over two decades, she has won many awards for her impact in the dental community as well as her involvement in other pursuits such as restaurant development and charity work. She here with fresh ideas and advice specifically for our Nifty group. 

2. Many of you may be familiar with Laura Nelson, the award-winning international speaker and the founder of Front Office Rocks™, a virtual training platform that teaches office systems and methods to help practices achieve exceptional customer service and embrace the business side of dentistry. She has taken on the COVID-19 pandemic’s concerns and has already offered many solutions to dentists all around the world. What does she have for us next? 

3. Say hello to Dr. Christopher Phelps, dentist, entrepreneur, and an Amazon best-selling author practicing Charlotte, North Carolina. Within seven years of opening, Dr. Phelps increased his practices’ revenue by tenfold, expanding to four locations. He sold two and had two consecutive years of 1 million dollar revenue growth at each of the remaining practices. He founded Golden Goose Scheduling, a scheduling service designed to help dentists answer calls and fill their books. Additionally, Dr. Phelps studied the Science of Influence and Ethical Persuasion under expert Dr. Robert Cialdini, and earned the title of Cialdini Method Certified Trainer (CMCT). 

4. Building his first business at the age of 26, Korey Kofiatis a serial entrepreneur that applies his low-cost, high-impact marketing expertise to engage with over 20 million patients across the United States and Canada. His company, Legwork is a patient engagement software that works to attract community members, convert them into patients, remind them, and finally, retain them. Korey has been with us from the beginning and has been working hard to create the tools we need to stay afloat during COVID-19. You don’t want to miss the wisdom he has to share at this summit! 

At the summit, you will be greeted by a dozen other dental industry leaders ready and willing to support us through what we hope to be the end of this dark time. This is an opportunity for growth and connection. We would be thrilled to have you and engage with one another and leave inspired like we used to at dentistry summits. 

Skip the travel. Skip the hotel. Receive what really matters. The upcoming summit will be live streamed on Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th from 9 AM to 6 PM Central Standard Time through the Nifty Thrifty group. There is no need to sign up. Just grab some popcorn and a blanket, and get ready for the most comfortable yet impact summit yet. 

I hope to see you there!
