hedubledmyproductionbro
i ran into an old colleague across town. nice guy very naive he inherited his dads office. total cash cow. your typical 2nd generation non founder mentality. isn't too arrogant pretty damn close though. he wife and mom run a lot of the admin. he drives a red sports car and parks it in front of his office. no joke. he's bragging about his new consultant which i used btw 16 years ago. decent consultant. but knows how to extract money from a client - there are better consultants around. i tried to warn him but didn't go well he in the coolaid deep. it's all good. his first comment though was
" he doubled my production bro "...
- my first thought was how bad was the inital production? - i've heard and seen reviews - he's run into some rough spots. 2. don't give too much credit to the consultant because he's already great at taking more credit than he deserves - dentists and teams do the real work. 3. last thought was don't over extend his invite. boot him after 12months.
whats the point of my post? dentists today need to self examine a little better. don't idolize consultants. use them but don't give them too much credit - they are already great at that.
if your production doubles thats great. rem you did most of the heavy lifting. the consultant comes in and gives new energy and direction. but "he" didn't "double" it for you . why does that trigger me? because these guys are great at pricing their fees against the "double".... instead of pricing them against what they really do- offer tips and suggestons.
