Presenters: Chris Barrow and Alan Suggett

Many have realised that working as an associate in the current system is neither fulfilling, nor easy. The stress has been hard to bear. Many associates have approached dentinaltubules with questions on how to start a squat. We decided to create this TubulesLive on that basis. Chris Barrow and Alan Suggett will cover this topic.

Chris Barrow will talk about business planning particularly aspects like:

• Lead generation - marketing for new patients in a squat situation;

• Lead conversion - how to design a patient journey that wins new people over and allows you to sell treatment;

• Team - first steps in building your ideal team

Alan Suggett will cover:

how to consider finance and funding for a squat as this is more difficult. He will also cover the spreadsheet and cash flow aspects
