Dr. Christopher Phelps is an entrepreneur, general dentist, and an amazon best-selling author of the book, Grow Your Dental Membership Plan and The COMPLETE Book On Dental Marketing. He is a certified Kolbe Trainer and is also an expert in the science of ethical influence and persuasion having received his Cialdini Method Certified Trainer (CMCT) certification under acclaimed behavioral scientist, Dr. Robert Cialdini.
He currently practices in Charlotte NC and is the cohost on the Dental Slang and Marketing Mindset podcasts. He is the founder and president of Golden Goose Scheduling, The Phelps Institute, Your Marketing CEO & Dental Membership Direct.
Golden Goose Scheduling helps practices answer and schedule more new patient calls while reactivating patients who are overdue for hygiene care. The Phelps Institute was founded to train Dentists in both the clinical and business aspects of running their practice. Your Marketing CEO advises practices to make sure they are getting a return for their marketing investment. At Dental Membership Direct, his team helps offices create, implement and grow their own in-house dental membership plan.
Dr. Phelps can deeply empathize with the dentists he coaches and trains because he has walked many, many miles in their shoes. He knows the struggles of having to balance being a successful clinician as well as asavvy marketer in today’s
world where patients have more information and options than ever before. Getting the right type of patient through the door, having them accept a treatment plan, and reliably growing your business requires several skills, and often ones that aren’t taught in dental school.
After investing hundreds of thousands of dollars learning from true experts in business such as Dan Sullivan, Kathy Kolbe, Robert Cialdini and Dr. Anthony Feck, Dr. Phelps was able to find what works, not just for him, but for anyone hoping to grow and thrive as a dentist.
A Track Record of Success
When Dr. Phelps gives talks at conventions today, he receives quite the introduction. During his first seven years as a general dentist, he was able to grow his revenue by a factor of 10 and expand from one fee for service location to four. From there, he was able to sell two practices for a profit (the two most successful ones) so he could focus on his “slower” locations. Each went on to have two consecutive years of $1,000,000 growth, and he ultimately earned as much as he did with four locations.
On top of this, he is a certified Kolbe Trainer as well as a Cialdini Method Certified Trainer who is an expert in the science of ethical influence and persuasion. His work has been featured in publications such as Dental Economics, Dental Practice Management, Dental Products Report, Dentistry IQ, and Remin Media.
In recognition of his work, Dr. Phelps was nominated by his peers and selected to receive the Doctor’s Choice National Dental Award in 2016 and 2018. In 2020, he was recognized by the Global Summits Institute as being one of the Top 100 Dentists in the World.
All of these accolades speak to one thing-whatever he is doing delivers results and does so consistently.
