Next free webinar ‘Business Revival’ kicks off on Wednesday April 29 at 12pm

Business mentors Andy McDougall and Anne-Marie Houston from Spot On Business Planning are running Part II of their free, one-hour webinars on Wednesday, April 29 at 12pm – click here to join. The second webinar hosted by MediEstates, titled Business Revival, will focus practice owners on the decisions that underpin an effectively managed return to business and will discuss:

  • Rolling cashflows updated, daily versus monthly
  • Business modelling of the different return to work scenarios
  • Reactivation strategies that underpin a return to (and doubling of) profit
  • What if no further government support?
  • Constantly micro-managing the cash (planning & control)
  • Pricing – additional costs, additional hours
  • Protecting clinical/ staffing structure
  • Considerations of market value

At the end of Part II, Spot On Business Planning will be offering a business revival planning tool – a partially populated Gantt chart template our team has developed to help practices plan for whatever back-to-work scenarios they face. This will be an invaluable tool to work with your dental practice manager on now to ensure you are as best placed as possible to hit the ground running when business resumes – in whatever guise that might be. Operational, clinical, financial and people considerations will be already populated. More information about accessing the chart will be provided during the webinar.

For folk who become Spot On Business Planning clients, their practice managers can join a WhatsApp group of our like-minded clients’ PMs, who will be sharing their thoughts and plans with one another so we have a truly comprehensive approach no matter what permutation of practice. Part III: Business As Usual will take place a week later on May 6, also starting at 12pm. Andy and Anne-Marie will discuss the decisions that underpin an effectively managed return to business as normal.
