Business and Marketing Plans

Failing to plan is planning to fail – an oft used motto and common sense you would think. But many are daunted by the prospect of producing a business plan. And fewer still know how to use one, once it’s completed.

Using well thought out business and marketing plans to guide your business will make a huge positive impact on your bottom line (and lifestyle).

Recruitment and Induction

The most important resource in your practice are its people. Get the right people and your practice will fly. Get the wrong ones and you’ll be left counting the cost, often for years.

With a huge amount of experience in the recruitment market, making use of some of the most innovative approaches to selection, Dave can help you get the ‘right bums on the right seats’ in your business.

Performance Management

So you’ve got the right people, now how do you keep them motivated? Performance management is all about managing your team effectively. Setting clear objectives, measuring progress and giving feedback are just some of the skills you’ll need.

Facilitiation

Too busy to get that paperwork done today? Good intentions that never materialise? Too many voices that never seem to reach agreement? Dave knows exactly what it’s like working in a busy practice. Sometimes all you need is a helping hand to stay on track and make progress.
