The Slickest Dental Clinics All Have These Habits In Common

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. The quality of a dental practice lies not just in the quality of the dentists, but also in the total operation. The successful practices all do the same key things well. The following contributed post is entitled, The Slickest Dental Clinics All Have These Habits In Common.

Dental clinics are businesses, just like anything else. And for that reason, they need to take their processes seriously. Unfortunately, that is only something that a small minority actually do.

If you’re not particularly happy with the amount of money you are turning over at your practice, you’re not alone. It is something that thousands of dentists struggle with every week. Their background is in medical training, not entrepreneurship. Making the shift can be tough.

There are, however, some success stories. Here’s how the slickest dental clinics generate massive revenues.

They Account For Every Dime

All good business leaders know that the best way to turn a profit is to count expenses. But keeping track of where your clinic is spending its money isn’t always easy, especially if you try to do it by hand.

Here’s the good news: you can now track expenses using software. Better yet, you can pay local professionals to do it for you. You just send them your receipts, and they deal with the whole lot.

They Always Outsource

Some dental clinics want to do everything themselves, including making all their own prosthetics—bad idea. Trying to be all things to all people never works in business.

Outsourcing to a third-party dental lab is much more convenient. Here you send them your requirements for prosthetics, and they get on with actually making them. Invariably, it works out as being much more cost-effective.

They Locate In Convenient Places

Unlike many businesses, dental practices have a lot of scope for where they locate. Many find spots well outside of the center of town, usually in residential areas. Not only does this bring them closer to their target market, but it also cuts rents.

If you do decide to situate your medical practice further afield, don’t forget to advertise. If you don’t, people won’t know where you are, especially if you are in a low foot-fall area.

They Offer Parking

For some people, going to the dentist is a bit of an ordeal. When treatment is over, all many patients want to do is drive back to their house in comfort. If parking is an issue, therefore, they’re far less likely to show up.

If you don’t have any parking on your premises, then look for alternative arrangements. See if you can offer street parking. Failing that, explore whether you can share facilities with other local businesses or rent spaces from them.

They Spend A Fortune On Digital Marketing

Digital marketing is a massive opportunity for dental practices. Local SEO, where you target people who live close by, should be a top priority.

The slickest dental clinics know this. That’s why they continually churn out content designed to help them rank at the top of Google results. The more clicks they get, the more patients they can acquire.

Digital marketing, though, isn’t just about conversions. It is also about helping dentists develop their brands. The better your social media presence, the more highly people will think of your practice.

3 Ways to Make Your Business Greener and More Sustainable

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. You can generate more profits from your business not just from sales of your products and services, but also from making your operations greener and more sustainable. The following contributed post is entitled, 3 Ways to Make Your Business Greener and More Sustainable.

* * *

We’ve talked before about the importance of “going green” within your business. With endless talks of climate change and other negative environmental issues that face the planet, sustainability is on the tip of everyone’s tongue, especially in the business world.

While you may understand the importance of being a more sustainable company, you might not know exactly how to accomplish that. Thankfully, you don’t need to be “sustainability-savvy” to make a difference in your line of work. In fact, simply implementing a recycling program within your business is a great place to start. Just one ton of recycled plastic can save over 30 cubic yards of landfill space.

If you’re interested in even more impactful and long-term solutions to make your business greener, you don’t have to look far. There are simple and effective practices you can put into place right away to make your business a greener operation for the future.

1. Do Some Remodeling

To start making your business more sustainable, why not look at the building itself? Where could improvements be made to make where you work each day greener and cleaner? Installing updates and doing some eco-friendly remodeling could make a big difference. Some examples include:

  • Installing energy-efficient appliances
  • Switching lighting to LED bulbs
  • Applying a white roof coating or a “cool roof”
  • Installing low-flow toilets in the bathrooms
  • Making sure your walls are properly insulated

There are plenty of creative ways to create a more sustainable space for your business. It might be a bit of an investment up front, but one of the great things about “going green” is that many of these practices can save you money by lowering your utility bills.

2. Have a Procurement Process in Place

Where do you get your goods and supplies? In some cases, it can be hard to order the things your business needs locally. Other times, though, finding the supplies you need just around the corner might be easier than you think. That’s especially true when it comes to food. If you provide lunches or snacks for your team, think about where you’re procuring them from.

It might be time to change your procurement practices to be more sustainable. You should do your best to purchase supplies from businesses that:

  • Are committed to sustainability
  • Use environmentally-friendly packaging
  • Take advantage of renewable materials
  • Make products that can be recycled

By helping out businesses that are already working to be more sustainable, you can make your own greener in the process.

3. Recycle Your Electronics

Chances are, your business is full of computers, laptops, mobile devices, phone systems, etc. Eventually, electronics wear out. Or, you might just try to stay up-to-date with the latest and greatest in technological innovations, so you’re switching out your computers frequently.

You should never just throw electronics into the garbage.

Electronic waste is becoming a huge problem across the globe, with over 48 million tons of it produced in 2018. Instead of throwing away your business’ electronics, work with companies like HP, Best Buy, or Staples. They all have electronic recycling programs that can help you to dispose of your computers in a safe and environmentally-friendly way. Some places even have trade-in programs that will give you cash for your old or used electronics.

As you can see, it doesn’t have to be difficult to bring your business into a more sustainable future. With a few simple changes and adjustments to your policies, you can promote a greener initiative that can boost your business, in the long run.

Picking Up New Skills for Better Personal and Professional Development

Two key focuses of my blog are General Education and Professional Development/Skills. No matter what your professional training is in, you can never have too many skills. Likewise, you never know where certain skill sets are going to translate for the betterment of your life. The following contributed post is entitled, Picking Up New Skills for Better Personal and Professional Development.

No one should ever stop learning if they want to reach their potential. Learning anything offers a variety of opportunities no matter who you are, and it gives you the chance to explore new ideas and experiences that others – especially those who gave up on learning – could never imagine.

But, there is so much to learn that it’s challenging to decide what to focus on. There are a variety of options to choose from. You can try something creative, you can learn to follow and expect current trends, or you can consider improving on what you are already proficient at. Regardless of what type of learning you indulge in, you can feel confident that it will open a world of opportunity for you.

Do Something Creative

Creativity is something that too many people believe you are just born with. However, anyone who works in the creative industry, or indeed likes to spend their free time flexing their imagination, will tell you that what it really takes is hard work.

Learning to do something creative, whether it’s learning how to draw or paint or mastering the Piano in 21 Days, among a wide range of other adventures, will be a welcome change from the daily monotony of work.

Giving your mind a break from the serious is excellent for your mental health. Furthermore, with enough practice, you may even find yourself with a useful side hustle to take advantage of in retirement.

Predict Trends

Being able to predict trends will allow you to stay ahead of the pack in the business. By anticipating the next big thing, just like the social media giants did with Facebook and the like, you could find yourself pioneering your industry and taking strides that competitors could never dream of.

There will be times where you get ideas and predictions wrong, but you were never supposed to be some Nostradamus-esque magician.

You can use your knowledge of the industry and its history to consider what might come next, and if you put enough work into it, there is plenty of success waiting for you.

Improve On What You Are Already Good At

While it’s useful to learn a new skill, there’s also plenty of benefits from perfecting what you already know. This can apply to anybody, whether you are a snowboarder or a salesperson. There is always more for you to do and learn.

Becoming the leader in your business will set you apart from those who became satisfied with their current skill level. However, if you become comfortable, you also risk becoming complacent.

Continuously striving to be better than one person: yourself is sure to give you a challenge every day, meaning you’ll never get bored and always have someone to compare yourself to.

Thinking of Your Future

It’s vital to think of your future no matter what you do. By opening up your skillset, you give yourself even more potential to succeed in whatever you do. All skills take a lot of hard work and dedication, but if you care about discovering better personal and professional development, you understand that it is worth it.

Keeping Your Work Phone Organised

Three of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money, Business/Entrepreneurship and Technology. Whether you are a business owner, or you are in management in a company or a government agency, you likely have a work phone. A key to doing your job using the phone is not over-cluttering it and using up its memory with things you shouldn’t be. The following contributed post is entitled, Keeping Your Work Phone Organised.

* * *

Phones are becoming a big part of the running of a business; they help us with a lot of everyday jobs like keeping notes, updating your calendar, and making phone calls, to name a few. Phones have progressed a long away, that most of the population own one, and we spend most of our time on it, scrolling down social media, attending video calls and sending emails all in which keep you up to date with the latest changes in your workplace.
Over time your phone will be overcrowded with everything you do. You’ll find that you have a build-up of photos, applications and files across multiple areas of your phone, making it hard to keep organized and being easy to find. It’s never a good look when you are trying to find a document, and it’s lost in-between restaurant menus and photos of your dog.

Phone pouch

Phone organization starts with being able to find your phone when you need it, rather than fumbling around in the bottom of your bag. Investing in a Reiko pouch will ensure that your phone is on you all the time, leaving your hands free for your laptop and paperwork, stopping your phone falling when you have too much to carry between meetings. This could be an excellent option for if you’re a person that stores your phone in your back pocket as it will decrease the risk of smashing the screen.

Applications

Although it’s lovely to have all your apps separate so you can see them all at a glance, it can take time to find the one you’re looking for. Creating different categories for your apps to sit in, simplifies your phone. Having social media platforms in one folder along with a photo and video editing in another takes the pressure off trying to find a specific app that you’re trying to search for. While you’re setting all your apps apart, this is a great time to delete any unwanted icons, as well as the ones you haven’t opened in the last five months.

Files and documents

Keep your documents organized in folders, along with renaming the file name to the category of what the files are to do with. It will be worth taking the time to adjust the titles of each document to make it clear what everything is without having to open each file. Having your laptop desktop empty can leave room for any current files and projects that can be placed onto the desktop to give you the space to spread out.

Back up your files

It’s the worse feeling when you’ve done loads of hard work, and then you lose it. Backing up your files and photos through something like Dropbox, Google docs can avoid frustration and having to reproduce it again. They are easy to use systems that can store everything, making it simple for you to go back and find the documents that you need when the worse comes. If you have Apple products, then you will find iCloud has its backup system for all your documents, music, videos and photos. However, once you reach over a specific limit, you will have to pay monthly for extra storage, this can also be the case with Companies like Dropbox but if you don’t want to pay for storage then investing in an internal hard drive to copy everything over can be a cheaper option. Just be aware that if this system is tampered with, then it can result in losing it, this is why people copy everything over onto two hard drives to cater for this.

Linking calendars

Are you using your calendar to its advantage? Taking the plunge from paper planners to digital calendars can be a big change, but it can save you a heap of time. Firstly, using a platform that can be automatically transferred to each of your devices makes your life a lot easier. There’s nothing worse than having to write a meeting date down in multiple places. Platforms like Apple and Google calendar, link up on all your devices which are logged into the same account. Using your schedule effectively by colour-coding each category makes you instantly see what is work-related, birthdays or events while knowing if you are free when people ask you.

Hopefully, with these ways to stay more organized using your phone, you can take your work to a new level, taking away the stress of losing your work whilst keeping your phone in a pouch, so it’s with you all the time.

At some point business owners may want to move on and will consider selling their funeral home. There are considerations for doing so.

Financial paperwork

When the potential buyer comes along, you may be asked to produce specific paperwork and calculations so they can get a feel for the business and see if they are able to set realistic goals to make it work for them. Remember that the buyer could ask for up to four years of paperwork, tax returns and statements. You’ll thank yourself later when you have all the paper you need when you are asked for it, instead of rummaging back through years of paperwork.

Portray Higher Levels of Professionalism With Your Small Business

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. Regardless of the actual quality of your product/service, you level of professionalism has to be high-level and arguably impeccable. A low level of professionalism will hurt sales and your overall reputation. The following contributed post is entitled, Portray Higher Levels of Professionalism With Your Small Business.

* * *

Trying to establish your brand as a reputable and trusted one in your industry is very tricky when you don’t have the budget for global marketing campaigns. However, there are still so many entrepreneurs who manage to create an excellent reputation for their emerging company. When you’re running a small, niche business you need to come across as polished and professional as much as possible. This is going to establish you as a thought leader in your industry and grow trust between you and your potential clients.

Professional Contact Details

If you want your business to come across as professional you need to provide contact details that position your company as trustworthy to your ideal clients. Make sure you invest in a business email address rather than using a personal one. You could also consider a virtual address so that your post is sent to a location that isn’t your personal place or residence. There are even professional phone numbers that you can purchase that direct calls straight to your mobile. All of these forms of contact will make your business seem professional and authoritative.

High Levels of Customer Service

When you treat your customers well they will respect you and come back for more of your products and services over and over again. A lot of consumers admit that they won’t return to a business if they were treated poorly or rudely by business owners or their team members. Delivering high levels of customer service will always work wonders for your business.

Clear and Concise Messaging

If your business isn’t honed in on a particular niche, you definitely need to find your focus. Your company will come across as much more professional if you have clear and concise messaging that doesn’t blur any lines. It is time to get into the head of your ideal client and speak to them as if you know them personally. This works wonders for leading companies and it can work for your small business too.

Delivering Products and Services as Promised

It is so important to follow through with any promises you make to your potential clients and customers. If you want your business to flourish and grow, you always need to sell with integrity. If you know you can’t deliver products in the way you’re selling them then steer clear from this. You may have to reassess your marketing strategies or the way you present your services, but it will all be worth it in the long run when you have built trust between you and your audience.

If you try all of the ideas mentioned above, you will be well on the way to achieving all of your business goals. You don’t need to pretend that your company is something that it isn’t; be authentic and true to your brand. You could even become the face of your brand if you think that will help you grow your reputation. As long as you aim to give your customers the best experience possible, you will always see growth and improvement for your company.

Tips to Help You Master Marketing in Your Business

Know your business

Knowing your business is not only a way of making your marketing successful but also your business. Ensure you understand your business in its entirety. Understand clearly the goals and objectives of your business. Knowing your business will help you to choose marketing strategies that are in line with the mission and vision of your business.

Know your customers

For your marketing strategies to work, you must understand the people in your target market. Examine your existing customer base and take down all the information of previous customers you have already worked with. Examine whether your existing customer base shares the same tastes and preferences and determine all the common traits that your customers have. This information will help you in creating buyer personas. Your marketing strategies should now be aligned with the tastes and preferences of the buyer personas.

Know your competitors

It is also crucial to know and understand your competitors with whom you share the same market. Examine their marketing strategies and determine how they do it. Determine how effective those marketing strategies are, and acquire as much information as possible to help you form those strategies. Implement the best strategies carefully without violating intellectual property rights.

Don’t sell a comparison, sell the benefit

Most marketing managers make the mistake of implementing marketing strategies that imply how their business offers products at a lower price compared to their competitors. The marketing strategy you implement should focus on what extra benefits the consumer will get from purchasing and consuming the product. Therefore, ensure your marketing strategy emphasizes more on how your products are going to improve the life of your customer.

Continuous generation of ideas

Marketing can be categorized as an art as well as science. Your marketing team should continuously generate creative ideas that will reach more and more potential customers. For creative idea generation to happen, you need a team with a healthy imagination. A healthy imagination can be triggered by factors such as constant reading and research. Additionally, find podcast guests who will produce podcasts for marketing purposes.

Marketing automation

Marketing automation is a technological innovation that automatically manages all marketing processes and campaigns across multiple channels. Marketing automation is made possible by specially designed software such as HubSpot Marketing Automation. Marketing automation saves you a lot of time, energy, and money as it replaces all the tedious manual marketing strategies with automated ones.

Bottom Line

Marketing plays a significant role in the success of any business. It helps create awareness in the market about the existence of your product. Therefore, the marketing discipline is significant to your business. As a business person, ensure that you continuously improve your marketing strategies for the growth of your business.

What the Heck is Upfitting?

A key focus of my blog is Technology. Something we see everyday but are relatively unfamiliar with is the concept of “Upfitting”. Automotive vehicles are are upfitted for varying reasons depending on the intended purpose. The following contributed post is entitled, What the Heck is Upfitting?

Ever considered going into the ambulance business?

Probably not a question you get asked very often.

Here ambulance business does not mean the brave men and women who frequently risk their lives to save and help others, but the business of equipping ambulance with the gear that keeps people alive. It’s a rather obscure concept to think about, but interesting nonetheless.

Let’s Talk About Upfitting

Now, what the heck is upfitting?

It’s outfitting a vehicle with specialized equipment that enables the vehicle for emergency use. Upfitting can also mean custom interior and exterior design that makes a non-emergency vehicle simply look cooler. Essentially, it is vehicle customization and upgrading with equipment that was not initially added by the manufacturer.

Most of the time, it’s emergency vehicles that get upfitted. They will need to routinely change their equipment so that it’s always up-to-date and abiding by state or federal regulations. Upfitting these kinds of emergency vehicles increase their efficiency for peak performance. It can also make the vehicle and job for technicians easier and safer. No wonder upfitting is such a crucial process in maintaining emergency vehicles.

Upfitting usually starts with painting and servicing the chassis. Think of the chassis as the “bed” of the vehicle; it holds the wheels and body of the car.

Here is a chassis, FYI (Image by Clker-Free-Vector-Images from Pixabay)

Planning could be the most crucial aspect of upfitting. Involving the technicians who will be using the vehicle can create a more thorough, safety-oriented upfitting. You will achieve the best results if you have a thorough understanding of the vehicle’s future application. One factor to consider during the upfitting process includes the end-users and how they will utilize the vehicle. Keeping the end goal and people in mind throughout the process can help upfitters better understand what kind of experience they want the users to have. Another critical factor to consider is whether the vehicle is going to serve a single purpose or multiple purposes. The upfitting process will look a lot different for the upfitting of single-purpose vehicles versus multiple-purpose vehicles.

The devil is in the details when it comes to upfitting, and that’s why it’s so important to have all concerned parties involved in the process from start to finish. Of course, it’s essential to be realistic with your clients about time constraints and any budgeting problems that may arise during the process. Otherwise, your customers could be left disappointed, and that is undoubtedly a place in which no business owner wants to be.

Advice When Investing In Cryptocurrencies

Two focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money. For years now, cryptocurrencies have been regularly discussed in the investing world. While they may be the wave of the future, and while some have profited from them thus far, they are still speculative. The following contributed post is entitled, Advice When Investing In Cryptocurrencies.

Cryptocurrencies are something that are still being understood on the financial market, and digital currency is something that not everyone is convinced will be successful. However, before you dismiss the opportunities and financial gain it could present to you, here’s some advice when investing in cryptocurrencies.

Do Your Research

Firstly, like any investment, it’s worth doing some research into how it all works. It might not be something you’re very familiar with at all, and so it’s good to develop your knowledge of what it is and how it works as an investment. You may already know some information, but there’s probably a lot that you’re still needing to understand in terms of the process. So with that in mind, try to do some digging into how it works and who you might want to speak to who may already be involved in the realm of cryptocurrency and can explain it all a little better to you. Some people find it easy to learn from just reading, while others like to put it into practice and learn that way. From Genesis Mining Review to forums on digital currency, it’s all worth exploring.

Keep Your Coins In Wallets

The coins you make need to go somewhere and so they are good to put into a digital wallet. There are different wallet options and these are often defined between hot and cold wallets. It’s worth doing your research on which are best and whether you might wish to opt to use more than one. Consider your options and most importantly, you want your currency to be secure as some wallets can be easily hackable if you’re not careful. Cold wallets are suited for more long-term investors who don’t require their access to coins for months if not, years.

Take Note Of Any Risks

Like any investment, there’s always going to be risks, and it’s worth knowing what these are. As far as digital currency goes, it’s still not so commonly accepted as a legitimate currency, but there is progress in it being recognized a lot more now than before. Make sure you know what you’re signing for and that you are aware of the risks that are involved with this type of investment. You might invest in something for it only to lose terribly within the space of twenty-four hours. Be aware of how volatile this market can be and don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

Be Prepared For A Bumpy Ride

It’s good to be prepared for all eventualities, and one thing to know about cryptocurrency is that it can be a bumpy ride. You want to ensure you’re prepared for what could happen and what might not happen. Diversifying your investment portfolio is important and something you should definitely consider doing. You shouldn’t be investing on the hype and noise that comes from other people and what is the best option for you.

Use these tips to invest in cryptocurrency wisely and knowingly of the risks that are involved.

Encouraging Ultimate Efficiency In The Workplace

Two of the focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. As a business owner, one of you goals should be to maximize efficiency. Maximizing efficiency will allow you and your staff to get the most done and save money in the long run. The following contributed post is entitled, Encouraging Ultimate Efficiency In The Workplace.

* * *

Running your own business can be an extremely rewarding project, as there’s scope for respectable profit and a great reputation amongst many other benefits. However, when your company is not reaching the goals that you had set out to achieve, it can be much more of a disappointing and infuriating scenario that may seem impossible to work through. One of the biggest reasons that productivity can take a hit is the overall efficiency of your business, and luckily there are many different things that you can do to start moving forward. So, if your business is struggling to achieve targets and may need some restructuring to become more efficient, then read on to uncover some of the best tips and tricks that you can make the most of today!

Training Is Key

One of the worst things that you can do as a business owner is to scrimp on staff training, as without the right knowledge your employees will not be able to do their jobs properly. You need to make certain that your staff have access to constant training sessions and extra learning opportunities that can allow them to understand their role inside and out, and help to ensure that they can use machinery in a safe and secure way whilst working as fast as they can. You simply cannot expect your employees to learn everything they need to know on their own, and if you leave them to fend for themselves then their productivity rates will no doubt be at an all time low. Efficiency will take a huge boost as soon as your staff know how to get their jobs done in the best way, so it’s up to you to set the standard and show them exactly how it’s done.

Don’t Be Afraid To Outsource

When your business is going through tough times, it’s tempting to let go of staff and appoint more work to other employees to reduce your overall spend, however this will do nothing to improve your efficiency or standard of work. Many business owners are afraid to let go of the reigns and ask for help, and that’s why so many tasks are completed in house – yet, outsourcing other professionals to perform just a few tasks can take a huge weight off your staff’s shoulders, and allow them to focus on their regular tasks too. It needn’t be expensive to seek out services like stock plan administration, marketing campaigns and other specific topics that your employees don’t have the time or skills to cover, and it will really help to improve your efficiency quite dramatically at the same time. These professionals would not be able to function if the service they provide isn’t top quality, so you can still retain ultimate peace of mind knowing that your projects are in good hands.

Encouraging ultimate efficiency in the workplace has never been so simple when you are able to make the most of the top tips and tricks detailed above.
