About this Event
One practical day. Real dental business challenges. People who can help.
Tickets Limited - Save your spot now.
Being a great clinician doesn’t automatically prepare you for the non-clinical side of dentistry.
Numbers. Patients. Marketing. People. Growth. Risk. Suddenly, you’re expected to understand it all.
The Grow Practice Bootcamp is a practical transformational workshop that brings together people who work with dental practices every day to help you understand the questions to ask, where to focus and how to make more confident business decisions.
What will you walk away with?
- Know your numbers
Understand the numbers that matter, what they’re telling you and how to make more confident decisions about your practice. - Build patient demand
Understand what drives sustainable growth, whether your marketing is actually working and where opportunities may already exist. - Know your market
Learn how location, demographics, competition and demand can influence the performance of your practice. - Lead a stronger team
Build accountability, have better conversations and learn how to lead without feeling like everything depends on you. - Protect your practice
Understand the risks that come with growth and the questions you should be asking about your people, technology, operations and business. - Bring your real questions
This isn’t generic business theory. Bring the challenges you’re dealing with and learn from people who understand the business of dentistry.
Spend one day getting better at the part they didn’t teach you.
