SPRING HAS SPRUNG

4 Factors That Might Be Affecting Your Business’s

Regardless of whether you soared over your revenue goals the previous quarter or you took these last few months to recover from failed marketing efforts and missed opportunities, spring provides a great opportunity for overall growth. Still, it’s hard to know where you should focus your energy. To aid your efforts, here are four factors to consider for strategic business growth.

Your employees’ perception of you and your company’s mission is what determines their motivation to work hard. Take a step back to evaluate your leadership tactics and determine if they match your ideal business model. Often, replacing poor leaders with stronger ones makes all the difference in a company’s success.

Employee Training Business growth doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Just as leadership from your management team should be a major focus, your employees need a standard but solid foundation of knowledge in order to cultivate their own growth in the company. This spring, consider revamping your training programs by moving to online platforms that customize learning paths for each new employee based on previous employees’ feedback.

We understand the challenges of running a modern clinic, which is why we are dedicated to making the supply process as turnkey as possible. It’s just one more way we’re helping doctors find value in every smile.

From the vast improvements made to self- ligating bracket systems to Invisalign-style retainers, there have never been so many options for doctors and their patients. So, why are the ways vendors supply these cutting-edge products stuck in the 1990s? In a world where books, food, dishwashers, and everything in between can be researched and ordered online, “business as usual” in orthodontic supply can feel incredibly retro.
