Dr. Jeni Perna on the Highs and Lows of Practice Acquisition (DHP318)

Dr. Jeni Perna joins the Dental Hacks to talk about purchasing a practice! Actually, she discusses that she was trying to buy a practice and it fell through!

• Jeni and Instagram (yogi_dentist)...a great follow!
• Content creators and consistency!
•  Instagram feed = perfect square (pearl!)
• Instagram feed/posts vs. stories
• "Get on stories and show your face"
• Jeni's practice acquisition story
• Are you "just an associate?"
• Finding a practice before they hit brokerage sites!
• Buying an existing practice means that you'll always have compromises from the existing owner.
• Practice purchase vs. startup
• Cold calls?
• What would Jeni have done differently?
• Flat fee attorneys/CPAs vs hourly...understand the investment that you'll make
• Jeni on practice brokers
• Make sure you have YOUR team as a buyer
• The Letter of Intent (LOI)
• Talk to LOTS of banks! Create a relationship, but don't have complete loyalty!
