“The biggest single difference SOBP has made to my business over the last five years is profit!”
Andy McDougall is the owner of Spot On Business Planning and our aim is to radically change dental businesses results and develop teams along the way. Each dental business, strategy and aspirations are unique, which is why we do not have a ‘one size fits all’ approach. We determine a system for running clients’ dental businesses year after year – allowing them to double their net profit every three years.
“Stop pondering and start acting. We have had double-digit growth year on year for every year we have worked with Andy.”
We cater to all types of dental clients: we help those at the start of their career to find the right practice at the right price and then we work with them to help build the practice, engage the team, grow their patient base, and plan and realise growing profitability using our trademark promise to double net profit within three years.Then we have those business owners who have been in business for years and who want to maximise their opportunity to build profitability and finally those who are working towards hanging up their drill and want to maximise their exit value.Andy and the SOBP team are hugely respected in the dental industry for delivering exactly what they promise – to work with clients as part of their own team, to deliver a doubling of net profits within three years, so come along and hear what Andy has to say.
