Being listed on the SCN website with photo and bio as a current member
of SCN.
- Marketing to dental meeting planners throughout the year via the site,
ads, and
other printed materials.
- An annual "learning lab" to perfect speaking, consulting, and
writing skills along with personal and professional development of one's
own business.
- Networking at the conference and social hours as well as throughout the
year with colleagues who share the same joys and challenges of speaking,
consulting
and writing.
-
An opportunity to learn how to develop products such as books, DVDs or
CDs to increase one's visibility and generate passive income.
- An SCN blog for member contact and the sharing of exciting new ventures with others who applaud your success.
- Being involved with the annual SOS (Spotlight on Speaking) either as
a participant or in the audience as a supportive coach for twelve
colleagues.
- The opportunity to return home with volumes of material, checklists,
ideas, and panel discussion/ selected break-out group notes which
is more material
than
can be implemented in one year.
- An opportunity to rub elbows with VIP editors, meeting planners, and corporate
sponsors from leading dental companies that hire or sponsor speakers and
authors. (The next generation is being developed now. Will you be a part
of it?)
-
Notices, leads, and other promotional opportunities from Linda Miles,
SCN's founder, who is often called upon to recommend various leaders in practice
management,
hygiene, clinical dentistry, and assistant slots on programs and magazine
articles.
-
Periodic emails throughout the year from Linda Miles and other SCN members
in the Network that current members may find useful in their own businesses.
- The possibility of forming on-going alliances with other SCN members to
blend each person's talent into a group presentation, a company, or referral
system.
- An opportunity to go from non-busy to overwhelmed with invitations as
some of our members have experienced immediately upon joining SCN. It is
however,
like
most organizations and businesses, you get out of it exactly what you put
into it. Joining alone does not create the success our members enjoy.
Doing something with the materials and ideas is the key. The hard work and dedication of
perfecting one's skills is an on-going process that is simplified ten fold
with a group
of caring, sharing colleagues. SCN is just that, a platform to perfect, present
and an opportunity to give back the gift of helping others reach their goals.
As Zig Ziglar says, "You get out of life what you want and need when you
help others get what they want and need". In essence, this is SCN's success
secret, "people helping people so we all win."

Hey Linda
I know you probably get many e-mails each day, so I will respect your time and keep this one brief.
On a personal professional note, thank you for facilitating a wonderful professional growth weekend for our growing SCN family. It was a joy to interact with everyone.and it is my privilege and pleasure to have been welcomed into the family. I found the MOM weekend very cozy where we were able to spend more time talking with attendees due to the intimate size of the group. I also enjoyed contributing (during our break out groups) ideas that work for me. Yesterday I organized my notes & ideas gathered from Saturday into an action plan for the year. I find the SCN experience not only feeds the professional, it feeds the soul also. When the soul is fed it adds passion to our activities. I believe that passion driven by ethical values is a huge ingredient for success in our business of speaking/writing/consulting. Linda, thank you for empowering us to grow both personally and professionally through the SCN experience you, Lee, David, Lois and rest of the board facilitate.

Priceless: An SCN Success Story
 |
Casey Hein, BSDH, MBA |
"Like any other kind of business lead, it is always a good idea to ask potential clients how they came to hear about your services. Ironically, it was the day after I attended the SCN meeting in Orlando that I received a call from a unique kind of marketing firm that specializes in helping major companies create products. They were in search of a dental hygienist, and several other healthcare professionals for a think tank, and asked if I would consider participating. When I asked the marketing company representative how they found my name, the answer was the SCN web site. Thank you for your presence."
Regards,
Casey Hein
