Summary

Overview

Earn Commission & Compete for $15K!

SaveYourDentalCare.com needs Toothfairies…

A. To get dentists registered on our site, and…

B. To get people registered as prospective patients, and ultimately…

C. To get those dentists and people connecting via our site for dental care.

What is a Toothfairy? A Toothfairy is a special kind of person, committed to helping establish the high-tech, SaveYourDentalCare.com (SYDC) connection between dentists and the world of patients. They are a grass-roots go-getters -the first-moving, frontline, sales force of our new company. Their work is to register as many dentists, and as many potential patients as they can to the SYDC site. Every Toothfairy will earn commissions, making money each time those patients connect with those dentists for their dental care using the SYDC product. Ultimately, this is how The Toothfairies are the heroes of this challenge -competing against each other to prove The Topmost Toothfairy of all, producing the most connections, and winning the Toothfairy Challenge Prize of $15,000.

What is SaveYourDentalCare.com? Our product is a win-win for dentists and patients in the same way that a similar product works for hotels and their patrons. Hotels offer last-minute booking for discounts as a preference to unbooked, empty rooms. There are 150,000 U.S. dentists. Each of them expects an average of 1.5 appointments unfilled each day. That’s an annual total of $80,000 per dentist missed in those empty chairs. In the past, there was little or no chance of filling those appointments on the same day. Then came SaveYourDentalCare.com… a real-time, wide-open portal between Dentists and patients. It is a patent-pending technology that enables dentists to offer discount rates that incentivize patients to fill their daily, unfilled appointments. That’s the win-win…

DENTISTS FILL CHAIRS GENERATING NEW/MORE REVENUE…

PATIENTS GET THEIR DENTAL CARE AT A DISCOUNT!

 

How does a Toothfairy win the Prize? To win the $15,000 prize, a Toothfairy must first qualify among the finalists. Each finalist must then submit a Review. The Judges will determine the winning, Topmost Toothfairy from among the reviews. 

TO ENTER THE COMPETITION… a contestant must sign up as a Toothfairy both, here on the HeroX site, and on the SaveYourDentalCare.com site, also. Just follow the links.

Guidelines

Challenge Guidelines

 

How do Toothfairies qualify as finalists?  To be a finalist in this challenge, the winning Toothfairy must achieve…

A minimum of 100 connections…

By the end of 6 months of the contest.

If the competition has not produced a Toothfairy with 100 connections by the end of 6 months, it will remain open one month at a time for no more than 12 months (total, from the start of the contest) until a qualifier is produced.

The highest producing Toothfairies will qualify to advance to the final portion of the contest.

Each finalist must submit a Review of the Toothfairy plans and activities that gave rise to their success and selection as a qualifier. The technological elements of their methods will be judged by the contents of The Review.

The winning Toothfairy will be chosen from among the finalists - the prize going to the Toothfairy that is the highest producer, utilizing the most creative and repeatable plan.

Once the last finalist has been identified, all finalists will have two weeks to submit their Review. All entries must be received no later than two weeks from the date the last finalist is announced.

Toothfairies who have already qualified to finals are encouraged to continue to register dentists and potential patients, and to continue to produce connections in attempt to post even better numbers than when they first qualified. In other words: Don't stop competing! 

Certain dates of the contest schedule will be subject to change.

 

How should the Finalist's Review be written?  The Review is your opportunity to present the unique creativity and replicability of Toothfairy methodology that gave rise to success and selection as a finalist. The Review should address two items:

Your Creative Solution – Explain your solution to The Challenge. How and why is your solution unique when compared to others? Sell us on your creative capacities, and how they were reflected in the way your resolved the problem. In this section, think as though you are being interviewed for a sales position. How did your work in making connections between dentists and patients demonstrate your unique, creative capacity?

Your Repeatable Solution – Explain how others can be a part of the solution. In this section, think like a sales manager. How would you teach other salespersons to utilize your methods so that they might achieve similar success? Demonstrate the transferability of your methodology so that others can easily replicate your achievements.

Saving and Making Money from Nothing

with the SaveYourDentalCare.com Product

by John Hansel Jr, EVP Marketing & Development, syDc • May 11, 2016

 

If you want to sell the SaveYourDentalCare.com product, then it’s important to know something about nobody. Nobody sits in a dentist’s empty chair. Nobody fills no appointments with the dentist. Each dentist knows nobody all to well. On average, every dentist in the U.S. has 1.5 unfilled appointments/empty chairs in the course of each workday. That may seem like nothing, but it is something other than your average dentists prefers.

We surveyed dentists in the U.S., asking them how much income they were missing for all these nobodies who don’t fill their chairs. The dentists guesstimated they were short-selling their practice an average of $30 thousand dollars per year. The truth about nobody is worse than the dentists imagined. Reality is, each dentist misses $80 thousand dollars in annual revenue in those 1.5 empty chairs per day.

Why don’t dentists do something about this? Up until lately they couldn’t. There wasn’t a technology that could respond in real time to this real need. So, it was a given… a dentist simply had a certain number of appointments each day that they couldn’t fill. But now, thanks to the creation of the new technology by SaveYourDentalCare.com, dentists can finally get proactive about those empty chairs. It’s new money to dentists, money that formally went to nobody.

Let that sink in.

That’s very good news for dentists. What may not be so obvious is that it is also good news for patients. Think about it… because it’s new money to dentists, and because it’s last minute, dentist’s are incentivized to offer discounts for their services to incentivize last-minute patients, to make money they formerly couldn’t make. Something is always better than nothing!

So, go to SaveYourDentalCare.com and check it out for yourself. See if you can get your dental care needs serviced at a price nobody could formerly offer. You could be somebody that’s happy to fill a chair for a discount because somebody is happy to offer it to make a buck they otherwise couldn’t.

Now you are saving or making money by understand nothing better than ever before! 


Platform Perspective

The SaveYour Not-so-Secret of Success

by John Hansel Jr, EVP Marketing & Development, syDc • May 5, 2016

 

Understand platform power, and you’ll appreciate the future of SaveYourHealthCare.com. Thanks to The Harvard Business Review, and a nod to writers VanAlstyne, Parker, and Choudary for their article for helping us explain.[i]

Think Apple. How did they displace Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Sony, and LG –collective controllers of 90% of world profits in 2007? How did the iPhone overrun these and capture 92% of profits, rendering former players with virtually 0% market share? Apple embraced a platform perspective - the definition of which is critical to understanding SaveYour’s view to success. HBR put it succinctly:

“Apple… overran incumbents by exploiting…platforms and leveraging…new rules of strategy. Platform businesses bring together producers and consumers in high-value exchanges. Their chief assets are information and interactions, which… are the source of the value they create and their competitive advantage. So, Apple conceived the iPhone…as more than a product or a conduit for services. It imagined them as a way to connect participants in two-sided markets—app developers on one side and app users on the other—generating value for both. As the number of participants on each side grew, value increased [in the] “network effects,” which is central to platform strategy. In 2015 the App Store offered 1.4 million apps, [generating] $25 billion for developers.”

SaveYour is an information technology company. “IT makes building and scaling platforms vastly simpler and cheaper, allows nearly frictionless participation, strengthening network effects, and enhancing the ability to capture, analyze, and exchange huge amounts of data, increasing the platform’s value to all.” Like any effective platform, our model represents an eco system.

The platform perspective is understood in contrast to conventional “pipeline” methods of the past. “Pipeline businesses create value by controlling a linear series of activities—Inputs at one end of the chain (say, materials) undergo a series of steps that transform them into output that’s worth more: the finished product.” HBR points out, “Pipeline giants such as Walmart, Nike, and GE are all scrambling to incorporate platforms.” HBR adds the apt warning:  Firms that fail to create platforms and don’t learn the new rules of strategy will be unable to compete for long,” and “You don’t need to look far to see examples of platform businesses, from Uber to Alibaba to Airbnb, whose spectacular growth abruptly upended their industries.”

 

[i] See… “Pipelines, Platforms, and the New Rules of Strategy”, by Marshall W. Van Alstyne, Geoffrey G. Parker, Sangeet Paul Choudary; in the Harvard Business Review, April 2016. All quotes above are from the same.
