The power has shifted…

Consumers have more access, control, and choices than ever before, which means that winning patients isn’t about what you do anymore; it’s about how you do it.

Today, marketing is about creating value, not selling services.

In the Value Era, patients don’t want or trust your sales pitch…

Instead, patients expect practices to add value beyond products or services before earning their trust.

“Show us you’re the best, don’t tell us.”
"Help us solve our problems before asking for our money."
"Earn our trust over time."
“Be a resource when, where, and how I need you.”

In the Value Era, marketing is a service: the service of helping patients solve problems.

Old era: Takers


  • Marketing as a department (silo within the business)
  • Push marketing messages to prospects (interruption)
  • Use marketing to drive immediate sales because customers don’t have other options
  • Price and product as differentiators
  • Cheapen bonds between patients by competing on price
  • Lower profits

New era: Givers


  • Marketing as a service (everyone’s a marketer)
  • Pull prospects to you by solving problems (utilitarian)
  • Use marketing to build a loyal audience because customers have infinite options
  • Experience as a differentiator
  • Deepen bonds between patients by competing on value
  • Higher profits

We’re living in the era of value, and the Givers rule the world.

We know which side we’re on. Do you?
