My dentist gave me a 'freebie'. WTF?

    I chipped one of front teeth a while ago and recently went to the dentist to get it fixed. She did a really good 'invisible' fix, and then said she wasn't going to charge me. I have no idea how much it costs to fix a chipped tooth (I was expecting AUD$150+), so when she said that, I just smiled (with my new perfect smile!) and got outta there ASAP.

    $0. I left without paying a cent.
    Is this a technique to get return business?
    Or should I be asking my dentist out for a date (and expect her to pay)... :p

    may be you would refer more customers to your dentist that way. or could be your good day where you were spared with the fees.

    I went to the garage 2 weeks ago because a hole was forming in the exhaust of the scooter, and they charged me for 1 hrs labour.

    I went to the garage 1 week ago because i needed a new rear tyre, and they didn't charge me for labour.

    I will never use another garage again.

    Great marketing technique- I would call her a Good businesswoman rather than a dentist

    Viral Marketing can do wonders :)

    That was a Green signal for you >> She likes you >> Go back to her with some stupid excuse and meet her again. She has put the first step forward and is waiting for your's now.
