‘Just got our invoice and I have to say OMG – best marketing money we have EVER spent,’ says our CEO and Founder.  As the Director of Business Development for the US arm of a Canadian based software company, I knew we would get a great ROI on a sponsored content article in GDN.  The readership and social reach the folks at GDN have is unparalleled in the group dental industry.  Together with one of our larger customers, we were able to tell a story that reflected all that we do for customers.  Within two weeks, here’s what happened:

  • 12 inquiries into our website 
  • 11  demos completed
  • 15 calls completed with the sales process continuing
  • 4 strategic partnerships being explored
  • 1 inquiry from Australia!
  • 4 contracts out for signature
  • 1 contract signed with a brand new customer- this happened in three days total and it more than paid for the cost of the article
