Kevin Nelson

Consultant – Speaker – Author – Trainer

If you are like most dentists your number one need in practice development is getting more new patients. But, after promoting and marketing dental practices from California to Quebec since 1983, Kevin asserts that bringing in a flood of new patients isn’t enough to guarantee practice success or doctor satisfaction. There is something more.
‍
As a practice development and marketing consultant, coach, author, speaker and blog publisher Kevin’s message is that Marketing is a contact sport. It's about attracting patients you love to serve by sensing and serving their needs:

  • Patients that appreciate your services.
  • Patients whose needs match the kind of dental care you love to provide.
  • Patients who connect and stay.
  • Patients who become ambassadors for your practice.

Let Kevin cut through the marketing clutter so you can focus on the specific key marketing actions and attitudes that will get your message heard and acted upon. We’ll help you set up marketing systems based on the needs and goals for your practice that virtually run on autopilot with the support and engagement of your team.
