Increase your bookings, sell more eyewear, foster a more productive and engaged staff, and ultimately make your practice more profitable.
Pauline Blachford Consulting helps optometrists increase their bottom line and build their practice through services that are tailored to each client.
Clients receive a free 30-minute consultation. Pauline then conducts a one-day practice assessment, evaluating the effectiveness of the practice’s recalling strategy, the team’s approach to selling eyewear, the staff’s cohesiveness and level of engagement, and much more.
Following the assessment, Pauline meets with her clients to share her findings and help them develop a plan to maximize the practice’s strengths, and exploit opportunities for growth and improvement.
All employee coaching is personalized, one-on-one ‘active coaching’. After teaching and role-playing a new technique, Pauline has your employee call patients and implement the technique while booking appointments. By the end of the session, your employee will be competent and confident using the new approach to book-up your practice’s schedule. With the guidance of Pauline’s coaching, the benefits of effective recalling will be felt by your practice immediately.
In addition to increased bookings, Pauline’s recalling strategies will grow your client database and enhance your customer loyalty. For more information on the results of Pauline’s strategy, check out her article in the Canadian Journal of Optometry.
Change takes action. For all her services, Pauline recommends follow-up appointments once a month, for six months.
As a doctor and business owner, your responsibilities are countless. Practice managers are also caught up in their day-to-day obligations. Retaining Pauline Blachford Consulting to monitor and reinforce your results for six months ensures your positive results are sustained.
