Going Into Partnerships With Influencers

This week, Brad talks about the recent surge in dental business owners being approached by influencers, who hope to cross-promote practice owner’s work in exchange for publicity. Brad discusses the things you need to consider, and how best to use these approaches to your advantage.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Always endeavour to become the influencer if you can. Building a social media following is tough, but by controlling your own public image, you retain the authority over how your public image is used. Remember that these are business transactions. Influencers should be allowing you to understand their analytics, and whether or not their audience is right for you. Consider the locality of the influencer’s reach and how it will benefit you. If your influencer’s audience is global but not local, then it may not be beneficial to your practice.   BEST MOMENTS   ‘A personal brand these days goes further than a corporate brand’ ‘People buy into people’ ‘It’s far better if the influencer approaches you. The dynamic is far better'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Dental Business Podcast  ABOUT THE HOST Brad believes that everyone at any level should be focused on achieving multiple sources of income to create diversity and balance in life. He feels passionate about helping dentists work towards freedom by building wealth in different areas and helping to develop a mindset to improve one’s ability to handle the stresses of clinical life.    Still a practising dentist, Brad has implemented strategies to create a practice to allow him to carry out the dentistry he wants whilst continually expanding with loyal staff and patients.
