Selling their own specialist services to dental practices
Dental practices range from single owner surgeries to groups with several sites and a central office. The principal dentist or a practice manager usually decides on suppliers, and they care about patient experience, compliance and keeping chairs busy.
Freelancers usually find work through their network, job platforms and word of mouth, which makes income uneven. A small lead database of your own gives you a steady list of companies to approach when the pipeline runs dry.
The dental practices that need their own specialist services are listed publicly. What most freelancers lack is a list they own, with the right fields, that shows who was already contacted.
What freelancers run into with dental practices
Outreach tools charge per credit or per seat, which is hard to justify on a freelance budget.
Riftjaw has no credits and a free plan to start, so you can build your first list without a card.
You forget who you emailed last month and risk writing to the same company twice.
Every contact has a status and a history of every mail, so you see at a glance who heard from you.
Generic reception inboxes rarely reach the practice manager.
Store the manager's name in a field when you find it, and use email from domain for role addresses like practice@, marked as guesses.
Group practices appear once per site, so you contact the same group many times.
Add a Part of a group field and tag head office contacts to avoid repeated mails to the same business.
A week of prospecting in Riftjaw
Monday: collect
Export a batch of dental practices from public listings and import it. Duplicates are skipped.
Tuesday: fill in
Derive missing emails with info@, reception@, enquiries@ and practice@ and tag the records that look like a fit.
Wednesday: reach
Send one mail about your their own specialist services to the new segment, in small batches.
Friday: follow up
Opens and clicks show up on each record. Set the ones who answered to Replied or Customer, so the follow-ups of the campaign skip them.
How to open a mail to dental practices
Write one mail with placeholders and let the details change per record. These openings tend to work with dental practices.
- Lead with fewer missed appointments and fuller diaries, which directly affect practice income.
- Talk about compliance and record keeping, which take a lot of a practice manager's time.
- For cosmetic and implant work, focus on attracting and informing new private patients.
Fields worth recording for dental practices
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for dental practices.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Practice manager | The manager often handles suppliers and software. |
| Private or public funded | Funding shapes budgets and priorities. |
| Treatments offered | Implants, orthodontics or cosmetic work each need their own suppliers. |
| Number of surgeries | A simple indicator of size. |
| Part of a group | Group practices often buy centrally. |
Questions people ask
For most supplier and software decisions, the practice manager or principal dentist. Record the role in a field so your campaigns reach the right people.
Yes. Add a field for it while reviewing records and save a filter on it, which you can then use as a campaign audience.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, reception@, enquiries@ and practice@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
