In the fast-paced field of optometry, where patient care and business management must coalesce seamlessly, the challenges you face are unique and multifaceted. From the rising costs of optometry school tuition to the complexities of insurance reimbursements and the ever-present competition from both private and corporate practices, the landscape is constantly shifting. These challenges are compounded by the need to stay abreast of legislative changes affecting scope of practice, and the pressure to specialize within the field to create new revenue streams.
As an optometrist, your expertise lies in providing exceptional eye care, but the business side of your practice demands equal attention. This is where private business coaching and one-on-one business consulting can be transformative. Our services are tailored to the specific needs of optometrists, addressing common pain points such as adopting new technology, managing money, and optimizing workflow. We understand that the success of your practice hinges not only on patient satisfaction but also on operational efficiency and financial health.
Our approach is practical and results-oriented. We assist with frame board management, ensuring your optical offerings align with your clientele. We analyze staffing performance and develop incentive programs to boost retention and effectiveness. Moreover, we provide guidance on navigating insurance claims and denials, a significant hurdle for healthcare providers.
Optometric practices that engage with business consultants often see marked improvements in net profits. Like professional athletes who rely on coaches to refine their skills and strategies, optometrists can benefit from an external perspective to enhance practice performance. Our consultants, many of whom are private practice optometrists themselves, bring a wealth of experience and a track record of success.
By partnering with us, you gain access to a team of advisors who can help you set and achieve goals, streamline operations, and elevate your practice to new heights. We offer insights into marketing strategies, especially in the digital realm, to ensure your practice remains competitive and visible to potential patients. Our expertise extends to staff training, billing and coding, and practice management, all tailored to the unique environment of optometry.
The journey to a thriving optometry practice doesn’t have to be navigated alone. With our coaching and consulting services, you can focus on what you do bestโcaring for your patients’ eyesโwhile we support you in building a robust, profitable business. Let’s embark on this path together. Reach out to us, and let’s discuss how we can tailor our services to the specific needs of your practice and set the stage for your continued success.
We all have passion and want success. But there is so much to know. Those that succeed, and that struggle, work just as hard โ whether your revenue is $1 million to $25 million. It can be what you are doing, or NOT doing. Either way โ you need a Sidekick.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โThereโs so much competition. And everyone has more money than us.โ
BEATING THE COMPETITION

WE DELIVER:
a performance management structure that integrates the people, process and metrics needed to drive performance.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โI know we need a real financial plan to run the business the right way.โ
RAISING MONEY IS NOT THAT SIMPLE
Different language and customs. If you donโt know what to say and not to say to investors and how to manage the process, itโs hard to avoid floating through space.
WE DELIVER:
an integrated money raising process โ investor deck, financials and training and tie them to your key differentiator.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โWeโve never set real goals or had a way to measure them.โ

goals for your company and each department or initiative.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โI know we need a real financial plan to run the business the right way.โ

three yearsโ financial projections for the company.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:

a set of priorities and the processes to stick to them.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โSales canโt consistently deliver our story in a way that compels customers.โ
SALES EXCELLENCE

OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โWeโve never had a strategy for revenue โ we just chase what seems right.โ
A TRUE REVENUE STRATEGY
You need a true revenue strategy that connects your playground to an integrated sales and marketing effort. Sell a product in one market and it is a hit. Sell it in another and it is a dud. Your strategy brings this all to life.
WE DELIVER:
a plan that aligns target customers, messaging, sales tools and process.
OUR CLIENTS SAY:
โIt all seems like legal mumbo jumbo to me and Iโm not sure the lawyers help.โ
