If you’ve read any of the 50+ articles that I’ve written in dental journals, heard me on the 100+ podcasts I’ve been on or heard me lecture in person you know I that I’m all about bringing you value and getting you to where you want to go. All while making as few mistakes along the way as possible. I’ve already made them. Why should you make them too?
I only take a handful of dentists for this program as you will have my undivided attention and focus to help you put out the fires going on in your practice and get back on the path to grow again. Last year my average coaching client grew by over $250,000 in revenue from the previous year. That’s over 25% growth in a single year where they had 0%-8% growth at the most in the years prior. One of my clients was up 48% from the previous year and now has enough Associates working his practice that he doesn’t even have to be there any more unless he wants.
Strategic Practice Clients Learn & Have Fun Together!
Here's What You Get:
- 1 on-site training which I’ll try to do during the 1st quarter of 2020. That means I come to you. All expenses included so you just have to put your team in front of me and let me influence them to increase your case acceptance and revenue and pay you back from what you invested in my program from the get go.
- Unlimited access to me. You want to schedule a coaching call, have an issue going on in your practice you want to talk through, need my help with creating a solution to your problem? All you have to do is schedule the call and we’ll get it done with a solution in place and plan to put it into action.
- Day to day conversations. I’ve created a private What’s App and Voxer group just for my coaching clients so we can communicate daily. You can post your issues to me privately or to the group so everyone can learn. It’s your choice.
- 4 workshops in Charlotte NC. After the January Strategic Practice Planning Workshop we’ll schedule the remaining 3 as a group so there no schedule conflicts for the others in your group.
- You can’t do it alone! You can bring an office team member with you to each of the 4 events in Charlotte. There I'll teach you both how to find a team built to grow and how to know who you should be delegating what to. You'll also learn how to influence them to get their jobs done without you having to micromanage them.
- 1 of those workshops will be combined with my Year 2 and Year 3 coaching groups so you can hear their stories, the path to success I helped them create and more.
- Need help creating your own membership plan for patients without dental insurance? Done! You get access to all of the products I have for sale at membershipsavingsplan.com.
- Need help finding a better quality new patient? You get access to my two day marketing video at calltrackerroi.com/ready included.

ABOUT DR. CHRIS PHELPS
Who is this guy and why is he the best person to use his wisdom and experience to help you get to where you want your practice to be?
From 2003-2010, Dr. Phelps grew his fee-for-service practices by a factor of 10, going from one location to four and growing from $600,000/year in collections to over $6.5 million/year. In 2011, he changed his mindset from growing for growth’s sake to maximizing the capacity of his existing offices.
In 2011, he sold his two best offices for profit and took over his two least-producing, highest-debt offices, one of which was an office he opened from scratch earlier that year that collected $35,000/month; unfortunately it cost him over $70,000/month in expenses.
In total, these two practices finished 2011 with a combined revenue of $1.6 million. Over the next three years he grew those two practices for a combined revenue of $6 million/year, doing with two offices what he used to do with four. Have you ever wondered what the secrets to practice growth are? How about radical practice growth?
In the Strategic Practice coaching series. Dr. Phelps has taken the elements of his radical growth and mapped out a step-by-step plan on how you can do the same. Whether you are a solo practice, just getting started, practicing and adding associates, or in a multi-practice or multi-doctor group looking to take it to another level, Dr. Phelps helps you do just that every step of the way. You will define your goals and refine your vision every 90 days to stay on course.

“Dr. Phelps and team including Mr. Yagey were par excellence for me. In this era of CE courses in dentistry being sold to dentists solely for income of the presenter and the dentist going home with no useful data, it was humbling to come across Dr. Phelps playing it right with a large heart. These dentists are the true leaders of the profession, they choose to give to the profession even if they are not getting a whole lot back.”
- DR. MAULIK, PINEHURST, TX
“3 weeks ago my staff and I finished the 2-day 16 hour Principles of Persuasion workshop. Here are some qualitative results since then. No one has left our office without scheduling an appointment with us. No one. Case acceptance is notable increased thanks to the price stairs technique. A/R is dramatically higher the past 2 weeks. The course has paid for itself already. Well done, Chris. I'm glad you got to present to a large awesome group who will also benefit from your wisdom.”

ABOUT HIS BOOK
How to grow your
dental membership plan
“The headline says it all, but I'll go ahead and add one more thing. If you're a practice owner looking for a way to bring in the unicorn of all patients: happy cash ones that stick with you year after year... then read this book! Dr. Phelps lays it out for you. The only way it could be easier is if he actually came to you, took you by the hand, and personally walked you through each step. And he actually offers that option as well.”
“I highly recommend this book to any dental practice that wants to benefit from recurring revenue, patient retention, and running a hassle free practice by reducing your dependency on dental insurance. I met Dr. Phelps early this year because we both have helped many dental practices create membership programs and I have enjoyed his books, presentations, articles and expertise. Buy this book now and you won't regret it!!”
- JORDON COMSTOCK
“I can say without a doubt this is the best business book you can purchase to improve your dental practice!!! It provides a perfect action plan to attract and retain fee-for-service patients in a way that works well for both the doctor and the patient. There are many other great marketing ideas as well, and Dr. Phelps personally answered my emails to help implement his systems. The Dental $avings Plan worked exactly as described in the book. Best return on investment for any dental practice!!! Also, it is a quick and enjoyable read. I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking for a simple, practical and efficient way to grow their practice.”
- MARC J. RASMUSSEN
“Dr. Phelps did an awesome job writing this book. He goes into detail about how to create a dental membership plan to provide savings to patients who want dental care but aren't sure how it can fit into your budget. The book is very personal which helped me feel more connected to Dr. Phelps and made me realize that if he can do it, so can I. He goes over the many steps you need to take to create a membership plan such as:
- What to include
- How to market it - he even shows you graphics he used to market it
- What fee you should charge and when
- How to handle perio patients
- How to handle third-party financing such as Care Credit
- How to get patients to renew their membership yearly
He does all of this while talking to you like you are a personal friend. He gives you all of the information that you need to do this yourself, and if you don't want to do it on your own, he does offer his services for a fee at the end of the book. While he does sell a service to dentists related to dental membership plans, he isn't pushy like some dentist-authors who try to sell to you on every page or at the end of each chapter.
Overall, this is a very valuable book and will help grow your practice immensely if you put Dr. Phelps' suggestions into practice. Good book! Easy read!”

ABOUT HIS COURSE
Check out some reviews on Dr. Phelps' Principles of Persuasion Workshop
“I had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Phelps...he’s as good as advertised. The information he shared with me was original, insightful and just plain smart. No gimmicks, no shady sales, no pressure techniques to trick the patient...instead, he uses the power of choice (as described above) and reciprocity to create the environment for favorable responses and communication. Go to the course, I plan to do so at some point for sure!"
