If you don't ask, you will never get

I read recently a story of a dentist who, when finished his task asked, "Look, I notice you've got a few gaps between your teeth and I could mock up how your teeth would look if we did some cosmetic work. If you like I could do it for you now. It won't cost you because it'll be great practice for me anyway. And it'll give you an idea of how your teeth could look."

Having got the go ahead the dentist did the work and showed his patient how good his teeth looked. He was positively amazed. So much so he said, "Now I’ve seen the mock up I want it done permanently!"  The upshot! The client was delighted with his teeth (can't stop smiling) and the dentist had a nice little earner.

Also some of his friends saw how great his teeth looked that they went to the dentist and had the same cosmetic treatment done. A bonus for the dentist!

All because the dentist bothered to ask… and demonstrate.  A win all round!

Asking for business will never kill you!  Try it sometime and see how well it works
