What does it take to go from a Private Practice to 26 locations DSO
Happy Wednesday everybody! I would like to start a tradition and dedicate Wednesday to being a DSO day. As I travel around the country and meet with fascinating dentists I always wonder what makes one person grow and expand? What pushes someone to go outside of the comfort zone and disregard traditional wisdom? What are the personality traits of dentists who are expanding to two, three, five, or 26 locations? So let’s dive into this.
Incentive program
Why incentive program is important? In the last 6-8 months I visited a lot of practices across the country and it's always surprising to me that doctors have same if not bigger expectations to their team members as if they own a practice. I understand the perfectionism and being type A, however, please remember your team members will work hard and put their 100% if they inspired and feel appreciated. This is where a well designed incentive program will be important. Trust me, it's not the amount that matters, more of an act of appreciation for a going above and beyond.
