The Power of Ethical Influence

Dr. Phelps credits much of his success to his certification as a Cialdini Method Certified Trainer, a year-long process that deepened his understanding of Dr. Robert Cialdini’s Principles of Persuasion. “This training allowed me to ethically apply these principles to managing my team, enhancing marketing systems, and improving communication and sales processes,” he explains. By integrating these principles into his daily operations, Dr. Phelps has cultivated a culture of trust and collaboration within his organizations.

Overcoming Challenges in Entrepreneurship

Building multiple companies has not been without its challenges. For Dr. Phelps, time management and multitasking were significant hurdles. “I made a conscious effort to block and schedule dedicated time for each company, focusing on one at a time,” he shares. This disciplined approach allowed him to address issues systematically and drive growth across his ventures.

Transforming Dentistry Through Writing

Dr. Phelps’s books are a testament to his dedication to improving the dental profession. *Grow Your Dental Membership Plan* was inspired by his realization that many patients avoid dental care due to financial barriers. By promoting membership plans, he aims to make dental care more accessible nationwide. Meanwhile, *The COMPLETE Book On Dental Marketing* was born during the COVID-19 pandemic, addressing the lack of marketing knowledge among dentists. “I wanted to give my colleagues the tools to become the CEOs of their marketing departments,” he says, emphasizing the importance of efficiency and strategy in practice growth.

Leveraging Kolbe Insights for Team Success

As a certified Kolbe Trainer, Dr. Phelps uses Kolbe assessments to help his clients at Sunrise Dental Solutions better understand their own strengths and those of their team members. “It’s about finding the right fit for each role and ensuring tasks align with instinctive strengths,” he explains. This approach not only boosts productivity but also fosters long-term job satisfaction.

Leading the Cialdini Institute

In his role as the U.S. Chief Executive Officer of the Cialdini Institute, Dr. Phelps is on a mission to spread the science of influence and persuasion globally. His vision includes integrating these principles into university curricula, starting with business schools, and expanding to other disciplines. “Understanding influence and persuasion is a huge advantage for today’s graduates,” he notes. Additionally, the institute is recruiting trainers to bring this knowledge to businesses and organizations worldwide.

Inspiring Teams with Ethical Leadership

Dr. Phelps believes in empowering his teams by involving them in problem-solving and decision-making. “It starts with laying out the challenge and asking for their input,” he says. Clear roles, proper tools, and accountability are key to fostering a culture of ethical influence and collaboration.

The Future of Influence and Persuasion

Looking ahead, Dr. Phelps envisions new discoveries in the field of persuasion, including the potential for “post-suasion”—influencing individuals after an interaction has ended. To stay at the forefront, the Cialdini Institute is committed to funding behavioral science research, ensuring its teachings remain relevant and impactful.
