Howard and Jay Geier talk about going from good to great with a little extra, person-to-person, intentional service. Jay Geier was only 18 when he started his first company. He and his mentor, Dr. Alan Goodwin, developed a board game designed to help kids learn how to make good life decisions called "Drugs and Alcohol: Play It Straight." The duo ended up selling a million dollars worth of games to school systems around the country via direct mail. The experience taught Jay the power of marketing. He pursued a marketing career and ultimately became the marketing director of a large private practice in Atlanta, Georgia, where his sole responsibility and livelihood was based on generating new patients. This experience is really where the Scheduling Institute began. He employed every imaginable marketing tactic for getting new patients. They generated hundreds of calls, but the calls weren't translating into new patients. On a mission, he studied every part of the patient intake process and discovered two huge problems. In less than 90 days he fixed both problems and spent the next four years growing the practice and setting new patient records - his personal best: 601 new patients in ONE week. Eventually he decided to use what he had discovered to help other doctors grow their practices. That's how Jay founded the Scheduling Institute. Jay and his wife, Diane, have 3 kids and live in Alpharetta, Georgia. http://www.schedulinginstitute.com

Kristin Lind AKA kalinjax discusses how she got started on YouTube, the psychological effects of tooth loss, and closing the communication gap between dentist and patient. My name is Kristi but most know me as Kalinjax. I am a stay at home mom of four in Jacksonville, FL. After years of struggling with major tooth decay which affected me both physically and mentally, I decided to do something about it. I had all of my teeth extracted and received dentures from Coastal Dental in December of 2010. There was no other option for me, as my teeth could not be saved and I could not afford implants. Shortly after getting my new dentures, I started a channel on YouTube, which turned into an "all about dentures" channel over time. On January 1, 2013, I won a contest hosted by Dr. Golpa's Dental Implant Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. I received All-on-4 dental implants, sponsored by Nobel Biocare and placed by Dr. Mike Golpa. I enjoy sharing my experience with others who are faced with the challenge of tooth loss. Website: www.iweardentures.com YouTube: www.youtube.com/kalinjax Email: [email protected]

I have enjoyed 24 years of caring for patients with some of the best people I've ever met. I have been so fortunate to learn every aspect of working in dentistry except being the dentist (but I do joke that "although I'm not a dentist, I play one on TV.) My joy comes from seeing so many people have life transformations due to the confidence and health that dental treatment has provided for them. My heart for people drives my love for jumping out of bed everyday. It's exciting because you never know who you are going to meet, what you are going to learn from them, and how you have the ability to change a patient's perception of dentistry. I love, love, love hearing how much patients love coming to our office-I hear many times "Wow, I never thought I would be so excited to come to a dental appointment!"
