It teaches doctors how to do virtual consultations and use social media marketing to increase their businesses. Brian begins by sharing a little of his background and his journey into dentistry. Listen as Brian discusses how his process of getting new clients differs from the traditional way, how to be more clear on pricing and what a client needs, and how Instagram can be used successfully as a marketing tool.
