The opportunities that an associate bring are exciting.
When does adding an associate make sense? When does it NOT make sense? What do you look for in an associate? How does adding an associate impact your marketing strategy? How do you promote a new provider? What are 1-2 steps to take right now to help you better prepare for adding an associate in the future?
An associate can lead to higher production by opening up another column on your schedule. Over time, this can be a major contributor towards practice growth as patients build trust and familiarity with the new doctor.
Bringing on associate also gives you the option to focus more on high-end cases, assigning other patients to your associate. As a result, your production per patient increases dramatically. You also can avoid those cases that sap your energy, allowing you to focus on treatment that excites you.
But...adding an associate to your practice isn't always as straight forward as it sounds.
To better understand the process, we talk with Dr. Pete Theurer about the ins and outs you need to know before getting started, including:...

Finding the right people to join your team is flat-out tough. Employees have a long checklist of what they are looking for-
Discover what Duke Coach Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K) changed in order to adapt to the 'one-and-done' rule and how it directly applies to your practiceWhat employees are really after right now (hint: it's not security)Shift how you approach this new employment reality to create practice evangelists for the future
Schedule flexibility, training opportunities, leadership and advancement, competitive pay-
All of this, without having even a shred of experience. To add salt to the wound, many of them will end up leaving within 12-18 months.
So how on earth are you able to find, attract, and keep (longer) the right people?
In this episode, I share insights from Steve Cadigan, LinkedIn's first Chief HR Office and consultant to organizations nationally and internationally.

Referrals are the best types of new patients out there. They trust you more, are more likely to accept treatment, less prone to haggling on price, and typically remain patients for longer.
But...if I were to ask you to explain your plan for generating more referrals, you probably wouldn't be able to tell me anything concrete.
Imagine if you were able to have your patients be the one to rave about your practice on social media...how do you think that would affect your practice?
Social proof.
Instant credibility.
Immediate trust.
That's exactly what Scott Linford has created over the past few years...an automated system that motivates patients to share their favorite things about your practice...in an authentic, natural way.
Join us this episode as I interview Scott and break down how to unlock more referrals via your patients!
