Dental business coach Andy McDougall from Spot On Business Planning would like to thank Chris French from Clarendon House Dental Centre in Leamington, Warwickshire for his testimonial. We are always so grateful when we receive positive reviews – if you would like to speak to one of our clients in more depth, please email us or call us on 01949 851723 for more information.
We have worked with Spot On Business Planning since 2011 and right from the start we were impressed with their experienced team and the systems and strategies they use.Initially, the goals and projections that Andy McDougall set for us seemed unrealistic and unachievable but we committed fully to the process and began to meet and exceed those targets year on year.In the early stages, SOBP were always on hand to guide us through the changes we were making but nowadays as we don’t need such close support, I have a Zoom video conference with Andy every month. This involves commentary and feedback about the monthly figures. We can both see the same spreadsheets on the screen at the same time so it’s a useful way of catching up without needing to travel to a meeting. I look forward to these meetings for the reassurance they give me.I have found that having Spot On Business Planning on board has taken away a lot of the stress associated with running a practice because I feel more in control and well supported. SOBP has an excellent extended family of other professionals including financial advisers, accountants and tax planners who have helped us through changes, including incorporation, and will help us restructure further in the future as we plan our exit.Deciding to work with Spot On Business Planning has been, without doubt, the best business decision we have made during 20 years of owning our own practice. I would not hesitate to recommend Andy and the team at SOBP to anyone looking to get to grips with their business and their profit.
