What Just One More “Yes” Changes

This is not a small problem.

If just a few more patients said yes each week:

Production increases immediately

Stress decreases

Consistency improves

In real practices, even one additional accepted case can significantly impact revenue and stability

WHO THIS IS FOR

Practice owners who want more consistency

Associates who want more confidence

Teams who want better patient conversations

If you present treatment, this applies to you

What Professionals Have To Say

One of the most valuable things I was privileged to learn was the concept of doing nothing presented to pts sincerely really helps them Understand and feel taken care of by us a professionals vs trying to convince them to do what we want to do. Also HOW you do this is what Jerry Burns is a master at. Thank you!

I just doubled my average monthly production from 100k to 200k. It really came down to one thing, following the 5 Steps to Yes System

— Dr. Matthew Catuna
The 5 Steps to Yes has been a game changer for me in presenting treatment. What I love most is how versatile and easy to use it is. It is now to the point where if a case does not close, the first thing I assess is if I missed any of the 5 steps.

— Dr. Anthony Boesl
“After 22 years in dentistry, I’ve spent the last 7 years using The 5 Steps and I only wish I had it sooner. It completely changed how I present treatment. It makes conversations with patients clearer, easier, and far more effective. When you actually follow the Five Steps, success stops feeling unpredictable, it becomes repeatable.”
