- Outdated Website Design: The existing website was outdated and was poorly designed for mobile users, which significantly hindered user engagement and accessibility for the next generation of dental practice buyers.
- Salesforce CRM Integration: The client was transitioning to a new Salesforce CRM and required a website that could seamlessly integrate with this system. They needed Salesforce records to be synced to WordPress and stored as WordPress objects, enabling efficient management of dental practice listings and effective lead generation.
- Streamlining Conversion: The client needed to embed Calendly into the website to facilitate appointment setting with sales representatives, aiming to streamline the conversion process and improve sales efficiency.
- Website Self-Management: The outdated website design made it difficult for the client to make updates. They needed the ability to easily edit page content, add new pages, and publish blog posts and events without relying on a third-party team.
Revolutionizing HSD Practice Sales: A Comprehensive Website Overhaul with Salesforce Integration
Henry Schein Dental Practice Sales
The Mission
HSD Practice Sales (formerly Mediestates), specializing in helping dentists buy and sell dental practices, needed a comprehensive digital transformation to better serve their clients and enhance operational efficiency. Their outdated website hindered user engagement, especially among mobile users, and was not equipped to support the integration of their new Salesforce CRM, which was essential for managing practice listings and generating leads. Additionally, the website's design restricted the client's ability to manage content independently, limiting their responsiveness and agility.
Our mission was to create a modern, user-friendly website that seamlessly integrated with Salesforce CRM, optimized the mobile user experience, and streamlined the lead conversion process. We aimed to empower HSD Practice Sales to manage their content independently, ensuring they could maintain their competitive edge and improve operational capabilities. This transformation was crucial for attracting and retaining clients, enhancing sales efficiency, and positioning HSD Practice Sales for continued success.
The Challenges
The Solution
Modern, User-Friendly Design
- New WordPress Website: We developed a brand-new WordPress website with a custom theme to give it a modern, professional look. Utilizing Elementor site builder, we created an easy-to-edit drag-and-drop interface, empowering the client to manage their content independently.
- Custom Designs and Modules: The theme featured over 25 custom page designs and various Elementor custom modules, ensuring a cohesive and visually appealing user experience.
- Mobile Optimization: A dedicated mobile design was created to streamline the mobile experience, addressing the increasing traffic from mobile users. The use of a fixed navigation menu further enhanced usability on both desktop and mobile devices.
The Solution
Salesforce CRM Integration
- Custom WordPress Plugin: We developed a custom WordPress plugin to connect to the Salesforce API, enabling seamless data synchronization. Salesforce records associated with dental practice listings were pulled into WordPress and stored as WordPress objects, ensuring timely and accurate display.
- Lead Generation Forms: We added lead generation forms that sent data to administrators about which dental practice listings each user was interested in, facilitating efficient lead management and follow-up.
The Solution
Streamlined Conversion
- Calendly Integration: Calendly links were embedded into the new website, allowing users to easily schedule meetings with sales representatives, streamlining the conversion process.
- Custom Calculator: The custom calculator from the old website was recreated with a modern look, providing users with a valuable tool in an updated format.
The Solution
SEO and Content Management
- SEO Optimization: Temporary landing pages were created for the new domains to build SEO ‘juice’ and ensure the site could be crawled during the build. We also set up 301 redirects prior to launch.
- Easy Content Management: The Elementor site builder’s drag-and-drop interface empowered the client to edit page content, add new pages, and publish blog posts and events themselves, without needing to consult an external team.
The Solution
Enhanced User Experience
- Improved Search Listings: We paid close attention to the practice listing search results, giving them a more modern feel and a straightforward user experience which included more details for each listing (Practice Type, Turnover, Asking Price, etc.). Multiple ways to filter search results with easy-to-understand dropdown menus were added, improving usability.
- Fixed Navigation Menu: A fixed navigation menu was implemented for easier website navigation on both desktop and mobile devices.
