    Section 3: Real Story – Why One Dentist Chose a Consultant Over an Agency
    A dentist once told me after watching my Instagram video:
    “I run a dental clinic in a busy area with experienced doctors and a good team. Rent and salaries are high. But we weren’t getting enough patients. So I hired a digital marketing agency that promised everything — from website to lead generation — all for just Rs. 20,000.”
    “The first 10 days were good, but after that, communication dropped. They gave me a template website I didn’t like and asked for more money to redesign. I ended up paying over Rs. 50,000 in two months… but saw no real results.”
    “Then I saw your video where you were educating business owners — I reached out. You built me a custom website, launched proper Meta Ads, created offers based on actual demand, and within 4 weeks, patients started coming in. And you did it all under one price.”
    This story reflects the difference between a result-focused consultant and a volume-focused agency.
