Dental Marketing Expert and Hygiene KOLs Launch an Integrated Product Launch Platform

Michael Ventriello, Lisa Wadsworth, RDH and Debbie Zafiropoulos, RDH Launch MESA™: Marketing, Education and Sales Associates

 

Brick, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/01/2018 --Three dental industry veterans have joined forces to form an alliance called MESA™; Marketing, Education and Sales Associates. Michael Ventriello, Lisa Wadsworth, RDH, BS and Debbie Zafiropoulos, RDH will collaborate in developing integrated launch plans for new dental industry companies and products.

The perfect MESA client prospect is an innovator in the earliest stages of its launch cycle that needs to ramp up its marketing, clinical education and sales efforts quickly and simultaneously. According to Michael Ventriello, owner of the strategic marketing consultancy, Ventriello Communications LLC, "Although marketing is the driver for awareness, adoption and retention, it requires constant input and collaboration from educators and sales representatives to hone the message and develop the tools needed for implementation. MESA is closing the loop."

Unfortunately, even large, established companies often fail to develop and integrate all the components needed for a successful launch. "The most common pieces missing from the launch puzzle are usually education and training," notes Debbie Zafiropoulos. "For example, most of the time and budget is focused on introducing a product and selling it into the dental office, but with little or no education or training, the new product is not used correctly, if at all. In fact, supply closets are where products – especially new technology that are not properly supported by education and training, go to die."

"Another common mistake companies make is hiring hygiene educators who are not comfortable in a sales role," adds Lisa Wadsworth. "Education and sales efforts can and should be successfully blended, to improve the bottom line. Debbie and I are both highly experienced in consultative sales. We're not merely selling, we're providing clinical solutions for better patient outcomes."

The following are examples of what can be included in a MESA™ Launch Program:

- Public Relations
- Messaging & Positioning
- Advertising
- Direct Marketing Lead Generation
- Sales Materials / Brochures
- Social Media
- Training Webinars
- In-Office training
- Field Sales
- Lead Follow-up
- Hygiene Educator Training
- Dental Meeting Booth Staffing
