Stop Wasting Money on Poor Ads—Your Best Patients Are Sitting Right in Front of You!
Most dentists think they need more marketing, but what they REALLY need is more dental referrals.
You’re running ads that attract price shoppers instead of loyal patients.
You’re spending thousands on SEO, but your existing patients aren’t sending their friends.
You’re hoping people will “just refer” you instead of having a system that MAKES them do it.
Reality check: Referrals are the MOST powerful marketing strategy.
✅ 92% of consumers trust referrals from friends & family over ANY other marketing.
✅ A referred patient is 4X more likely to accept treatment.
✅ Membership patients refer MORE people because they feel like VIPs.
And here’s the kicker: If you’re not offering a referral incentive (like a membership plan discount), you’re leaving THOUSANDS on the table.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
✅ How to get more dental referrals (without sounding desperate).
✅ Why patient experience, reminders, and rewards are game-changers.
✅ How BoomCloud™ helps practices scale memberships & maximize revenue.
Let’s go.
Story: How One Dentist Turned Dental Referrals Into a $500K Revenue Machine
Meet Dr. Lucas Reynolds.
He was:
❌ Spending thousands on marketing with little ROI.
❌ Frustrated that happy patients weren’t referring their friends.
❌ Tired of unpredictable revenue from insurance patients.
Then, he made ONE SIMPLE SHIFT—he created a patient referral system that actually WORKED.
Fast forward 12 months:
He doubled his new patient referrals.
His membership program added $42,000/month in predictable recurring revenue.
Patient retention increased by 30%.
That’s the power of a referral system combined with a membership plan.
The 3-Part System to Get More Dental Referrals
1. Patient Experience Design: Make Patients WANT to Refer You
RULE #1: If your patient experience is “just okay,” they won’t refer anyone.
How to Design a WOW Patient Experience:
✅ Greet EVERY patient by name (people love feeling special).
✅ Make scheduling & billing ridiculously easy (no long waits, no insurance headaches).
✅ Offer perks like free whitening, gift cards, or VIP treatment for members.
Best Ways to Make Patients Feel Like VIPs:
Send handwritten thank-you notes after big treatments.
Offer complimentary comfort items (neck pillows, Netflix, noise-canceling headphones).
Train your team to treat EVERY patient like royalty.
Why This Works:
✔️ Patients remember UNIQUE experiences & tell their friends.
✔️ The better the experience, the more referrals you’ll get.
✔️ Membership patients refer MORE because they feel like they belong.

2. Patient Reminders & Follow-Ups: Stay Top of Mind
RULE #2: Most patients forget to refer you because they forget about you.
How to Stay on Patients’ Minds:
✅ Automated text & email follow-ups after appointments.
✅ Quarterly newsletters with referral incentives.
✅ Social media engagement (comment, like, and interact with your patients online).
Best Follow-Up Message for Referrals:
“Hey [Patient Name]! We love having you as a patient. Know someone who needs a great dentist? Refer a friend & both of you get a FREE whitening upgrade!”
Why This Works:
✔️ Patients need reminders to take action.
✔️ It turns happy patients into active promoters.
✔️ A well-timed referral request feels NATURAL, not pushy.

How to Create a Winning Referral Program:
✅ Offer a $50 credit or FREE service for every referral.
✅ Give BOTH the referrer & new patient a special reward.
✅ Use a membership plan to drive long-term loyalty & referrals.
Best Referral Offer Example:
“Refer a friend & BOTH of you get $50 off your next visit OR a free month of membership!”
Why This Works:
✔️ People LOVE sharing deals with friends.
✔️ Membership plans make referrals EASY (no insurance headaches).
✔️ It turns referrals into a system—not just luck.
