The Surprising Role of Personal Branding to Scale Your Practice - Nina Christian
In this episode of The Savvy Dentist Podcast, Dr. Jesse Green discusses marketing, with Nina Christian.
If you plan to scale up a practice of any kind, you need to be able to work with and through other people. And having your clients trust your team by having those team members have a great reputation in the marketplace is critically important.
Itâs about having a cohesive strategy that allows everyone to elevate their profile in the marketplace and to be able to support one another in that process, and ultimately give the principal of the practice the opportunity to step back from the day to day operations, step back from the clinical work, trusting that your people on hand are great and theyâre respected in the marketplace.
Nina has a knack for simplifying the complex, turning time-sucking activities into easy-to-follow systems and processes that make a lot of sense and get outcomes fast.

- [21:17] â How to find the sweet spot where weâve got your personal joy and fulfillment in the business, aligning with your business objectives.
- [28:32] â As you build and scale your practice it is really important to think about which marketing process is sustainable and does not compromise on the authenticity and connectivity factors.
- [35:20] â Letâs address the concern that practice owners have around elevating their team through marketing with the fear that they might steal patients and move to another practice.
- [41:05] â In scaling your practice there is no B-Team. How to ensure you only have an A-team!

Authenticity Matters: Nina emphasises the importance of authenticity in personal branding. Small business owners should align their online presence with the reality of their business, building trust through genuine communication.

Embrace Imperfections: Sharing the human side of the business, including vulnerabilities and learnings, enhances the connection factor. Small business owners shouldn't fear showcasing some messiness; it makes them relatable and builds stronger connections with their audience.
