Intrapreneurship in an Orthodontic Office | Becoming the Treatment Coordinator You Are Meant to Be

Thursday, November 24, 2022 • Duration 36:28

This week we are lucky enough to have Janelle Baum back on Hey Docs! Last time we had her on to talk about her TikTok account and how she leveraged her gift in comedy to grow her following. Today we are talking about her role as a treatment coordinator and how she has leveraged the same skills to break out of the traditional box of ""just a team member working in an office."" Janelle is the epitome of an intrapreneur and shares tips and tricks for making the TC room your own. So whether you are a doctor or a team member, you will want to catch this episode.

Her background in becoming a treatment coordinator 1:14

“It’s just trusting the process of ‘OK, these people trust us.’ They see a little bit of the doctor and most of the TC, but if you educate them and inform, and influence your patients of what to expect at that consult, they’re not going to think any different like ‘Why is the doctor here for only 3 minutes? I expected him for 10.’ So if you educate and influence your patients before they come in on what to expect, it’s golden.” 9:07

“They’re gonna know what things are to bear in the market and not go to, which is fine, you still can, go to the guy that did your kitchen or built your home. They did an exceptional job, you had a great experience. Doesn’t mean they’re gonna be an expert in building your practice. You can leverage them and use them if you want, but the expertise really comes in the proof of the process and in the individuals who do this day in and day out, and being experts in the field.” 34:06
