In this episode of E-Coffee with Experts, Austin interviews Dean Steinman, founder and president of Ortho Marketing, a digital agency helping dental and orthodontic practices grow in highly competitive markets.
Dean shares how he stumbled into the dental industry, built a thriving niche agency, and eventually launched a call center to solve the #1 problem plaguing his clients: speed to lead.
You'll hear how his team uses AI, automation, and relentless follow-up to turn cold leads into booked appointments — even when it takes 5+ touchpoints.
Dean unpacks how competition from DSOs and corporate dental chains is changing the game, why personalization matters more than ever, and what differentiates a high-performing marketing campaign in today's landscape.
If you're in the healthcare space, work with local businesses, or want to learn how to scale your service with systems, this one’s for you.
