Staying Active on Social Media
Social media is the direct mail of 2023. The young dentists graduating from dental school today don’t want direct mail and, since many of them will work for a DSO, they’ll hardly ever see the mail in that type of business. This generation buys in when they’re comfortable with you, so our job is to get them comfortable. How do we do that? By building a brand and consistently getting in their feeds. The average American spends 5.5 hours per day on his phone so it’s all about fighting for facetime.

“Doing Good While Doing Well” is the Mantra for SDG Success
Global and local capital markets have powerful potential as development funding tools and offer the world the ability to move beyond traditional development assistance and philanthropy to structures and solutions that leverage public funding and crowd-in the private sector (OECD/WEF, 2015). With myriad structures, themes and formats, capital markets have the scale, depth and potential to reach far beyond the current multi-billion dollar development funding level.
