Wednesday, May 17, 2023, was a big day for me, but for the rest of the world it was just a Wednesday. On that day DSO Marketing Xeclerator was launched into the world. It was the day I participated in a vertical roundtable discussion panel where we discussed Marketing that Scales: How to Drive Growth and Efficiency in Healthcare hosted by Alex Membrillo of Cardinal Digital Marketing.
This idea I have been toying with for over 3 years. An idea that is revolutionary but also simple, an opportunity that I have been building towards for almost 30 years.
DSO Marketing Xcelerator, (DSOMarketingX.com) is a Fractional CMO marketing group offering executive guidance to Dental Service Organizations and Private Equity Groups growing their portfolio of businesses in the Dental Vertical. What makes us unique is we provide services to growing organizations that might not have resources to hire a fulltime individual CMO.
On the surface Doctors, Dentists and operational executives think getting new patients is easy and marketing can be done by anyone. The reality is Marketing is a specialty that requires education and experience for practitioners to become effective in their skills. Marketing is more than placing an ad on Facebook and hoping to generate leads.
Marketing is About Strategy
Marketing is about defining the business and who are the target customers/patients. A skilled marketing professional knows how to communicate with that group and what messaging will drive them to react in a positive way to your Call To Action (CTA). Marketing is about strategy.
Michael Porter, the founder of modern business strategy, described three types of Strategic Positions companies adopt either by design or accident. These three positions are Variety-Based, Needs Based, and Accessed Based strategies. Each of these have very different approaches and executional details.
On the other hand, Philip Kotler, the father of modern marketing, defines marketing as “The art of choosing target markets and getting, keeping and growing customers through creating, delivering and communicating superior value.”
A knowledgeable Chief Marketing Officer has the ability to take in this information along with other inputs and apply their expertise to the business to help achieve sustainable results to make the business grow. Marketing strategy is developing sustainable differentiation from the competition. Understanding how to identify those sustainable differences in the business along with developing and executing a plan to drive profitability is what separates the inexperienced marketer from the seasoned professional. 
So why did I develop DSO Marketing Xcelerator? I have come across many companies in the DSO vertical and they all Look-A-Like! I want to bring differentiation to your practice and have it stand out from the practice in the shopping center next door.
Do you want to have your practice unique? Do you want to make better profits, grow your business?
