Okay, so it wasn’t as bad as I thought, but holey moley root canals are not the funnest experience. I had one done actually, the only painful part was the initial shot(s) but as soon as the numbness sets in, it’s just a poke here and there with the crazy drilling going on. It only took 30 minutes but the guy was great. He actually made going to the dentist not so dreadful. I can see these days how no matter what you’re profession is, it takes a lot more that attending a New York City private prep school, a private Christian boarding school or even an Ivy League University. These days it takes as much personality as it does brains. It takes a little bit of personality and a lot of marketing. I walked out of the office thinking that this was definitely a person I’d love to recommend and it was because he did more than what he was supposed to. He made the office visit peaceful and enjoyable by engaging in my interests and finding common chatter to talk about. Anyway, the point of this post is to make yourself stand out from the crowd, get yourself noticed and get those word-of-mouth referrals.
