Preferred Partner Model Details

Are you missing out on the 70% of new movers ready to switch dentists?

Moving to a new city is both exciting and overwhelming for families, and the decisions they make about healthcare providers often hinge on who they know and trust. In this episode, Michael shares the game-changing strategy of collaborating with real estate agents to secure dental patient referrals. He breaks down why realtors hold unique influence: nearly 70% of movers switch healthcare providers within six months of relocating. Instead of relying on impersonal postcards or blanket marketing, Michael explains how realtors’ endorsements create an authentic sense of belonging and trust (essentials for converting newcomers into long-term patients.)

You’ll hear about three actionable partnership approaches: the heartfelt Welcome Gift Model, the visibility-focused Preferred Partner Model, and community-building Agent Appreciation Event Model. Michael details a step-by-step roadmap for launching these collaborations, from identifying the right realtors to employing value-driven scripts and maintaining strong, ongoing connections. Plus, you’ll learn the crucial missteps to avoid and how hospitality, rather than hard-sell tactics, is the true secret to building both lasting relationships and a thriving dental practice.
