My clients do love their jargon – especially all that mumbo-jumbo about teeth and gums – and this was best evidenced by listening to them attempting to introduce themselves to a fictitious business audience at last week’s marketing workshops.
In conversation with a client last Thursday, we concluded that, if all the jargon is removed, then what a dentist does can be encapsulated in the following words:
-
Make my teeth whiter
-
Make my teeth straighter
-
Make my smile nicer
-
Keep my teeth longer
And for the botox brigadiars:
Keep it simple.
