I can 100% recommend SOBP - don't even think about it, sign up now!
That’s the advice from James Goolnik, founder of Bow Lane Dental group in London and author of Kick Sugar.
I've been working with the team at Spot On for the last two and a half years. When I first started with them I thought the business was pretty efficient. But as time’s gone on and they've asked me to look at all the different systems and processes in the business, I realised that actually there are a lot of inefficiencies in how I could improve stock control, how I can simplify paying all the team and how I can look at the numbers that are actually important in my business. What the key performance indicators that important in my business specifically are and how I can monitor them.
I've really enjoyed the monthly catch-up calls and also they’re really fast at getting back to you if you send an e-mail and have some really good ideas.
I love Anne-Marie’s modelling, so when I'm not sure about whether I give somebody an increase or how I can pay somebody better she models it and it’s all done with the numbers, so it works really, really well.
They have got a really good team; there is Karolina, there's also Vikki in marketing and Shannon and also obviously Andy. So, if anyone is thinking about working with Spot On I can 100% recommend them - don't even think about it, sign up now!
