Which ‘areas’ of your practice would BENEFIT from an
‘objective’ team member?…also known as your ‘COACH’!

Production

Overall production not increasing enough on an annual basis?
OR
Annual production has flat-lined over the years? Even worse, decreasing annually?

Marketing

Is your marketing helping, hurting, or making no difference?
OR
Your team doesn’t understand or buy into the difference between Internal and External Marketing?

Team / Culture

Team not engaged or motivated to excel and change?
High stress levels
OR
Team is ‘ok’, going to work is ‘ok’… status Quo? Would love to look forward to work?

Schedule

Schedule is controlling you?
Too busy? Can’t breathe?
OR
Schedule is full, yet not productive?
Too many short notice cancellations?

Technology

Your purchased technology is collecting dust? Fear of unknown?
OR
Case acceptance not ideal despite the technology in use?

New / Patients

NP flow low? Not enough patient ‘referrals’? Team not asking for ‘referrals’?
OR
NP flow acceptable, yet losing too many existing patients?

Profit & Loss

High overhead? Don’t have routine monitors?
OR
Certain ‘line itmes’ could be better… actually exist?

Accountability & Excuses

Overwhelmed and don’t know where to start?
OR
‘Taken aback’ at times on how to handle situations? Always an ‘excuse’ as to why not?

Even “Successful” Practices benefit from “tweaking and enhancing”
what is already working every now and again.
Coaching and Consulting is not only for ‘out of control’ practices.
Actually more often than not, it is the successful practice that reaches out for objective” help.
They realize that ‘adding dimensions’ is the key to propelling performance excellence.
It is important to note, I utilize the term “Successful” lightly as everyone has a different definition of “success” and what it looks like.

Tired of not knowing who all the top advisors are that can help you successfully deal with all facets of ‘OWNING’, ‘STARTING UP’ or ‘SELLING’ a dental practice?

YOUR SEARCH IS OVER!

I will make sure that the correct individuals are brought together and
I will coordinate, orchestrate and identify areas of your practice that would benefit from either coaching, consulting or other ‘services’.

Laurie has helped our practice grow as a TEAM.
We are more of a united front and strive to reach the same office goals.

Great pick me up with cheerful and positive attitude.

Laurie Slater packs every ounce of punch that Anthony Robbins does!
The sessions, coach calls and in-office seminars have changed our team in ways
I never dreamt possible. Not only is the atmosphere, team spirit and patient experience better,
it has directly affected our bottom line. After being coached by Laurie for just over 1 yr,
our overall production has increased by 35%!
I would recommend Laurie Slater to anyone who wants to go
from ordinary to extraordinary!"

– Dr. J. Rogers DDS -

All consultants we have worked with know the numbers we should be capable of achieving.
All consultants we have worked with have similar systems for monitoring the practice
performance to produce predictable and consistent outcomes.
This experience with Laurie as our coach has been different from other consultants in the way
the “coach” helps us to keep the “wheels from falling off” these systems.
She keeps us “on track”. Laurie does it in such a way that the staff
feels they are part of the process and they become committed to the systems,
not threatened by them.

– Dr. M. Pearson DDS -

Coaching with Laurie has helped the practice be more of a team, coordinated,
implemented protocols that actually stick and has helped us follow through.

You have made me more confident and passionate in my job,
with patients and with my co-workers

Your ability to support me and my team is very powerful.

(at the time they seemed so far away).
Of course, I must mention that you had a lot to do with it.
You have been patient, never pressure me but motivate me.

Wow!! Quite a question! Laurie has helped so much.
She has given me by far more vision for the career that I have chosen.
After many jobs and many employers over my 27½ years as a Dental Hygienist,
the impact Laurie has had on my life has been incredible.
The principles, the systems, the quotes, and on and on and on have changed the way I think,
the way I work, and the way I relate with those around me.
Thank you for all your input and impact on my life.

– Lisa Preza- Dentistry on Sinclair –

They say “Change is the only Constant in the Universe”.
That said, my practice was in need of changes in order to keep up with today’s tougher economy.
For the past few years, we noticed that our practice was stagnant and not growing.
We tried a variety of different ideas but nothing really made an impact.
It was then that I sought out help from a dental consultant.
Laurie Slater. Without a doubt, Laurie has made some radical changes to our office with positive results.
She has guided our staff towards achieving all we can and more.
She has a passion for teamwork and it shows.
We look forward to working more with Laurie
and seeing what new heights our practice can soar to.

– Dr. David Ho DDS –

The difference between a dream and a goal is having a timeline with accountability and consequences.
We have a “good” practice. However, I always felt it could be better.
I would research business websites and try to new ideas but didn’t have the knowledge or confidence to truly incorporate
these ideas so they would be accepted and permanently integrate into our office environment.
Laurie has given us the tools and practical applications to make these dreams become reality.
She has been able to bring to our attention fears and limiting beliefs and help change them into empowering beliefs.
“We can do it!!” Laurie is exceptionally disciplined, devoted and committed to us and our team.
She sincerely wants to help us turn our good practice into a great practice.
When she is with us, I think we are her only clients. Laurie communicates clearly and effectively.
She is a great example of excellence conquering mediocrity.
A true coach inspires you pull your bootstraps up and keep going to be better, not to quit but to be solution driven.
She is always promoting cooperation and inspiring our staff to be a true team.
I know we still have a lot to accomplish and change is sometimes uncomfortable,
but with Laurie as our coach, I know we will achieve success… whatever it takes!
Thanks Laurie for taking us on!!

– Thea Ho, office administrator, wife & helper of the Big Boss –

Laurie has been working as our office coach for several years now.
Since then, her philosophy of excellence and achieving beyond has clearly had
a positive impact on our practice.
Our team is now much more effective and a cohesive unit both professionally and personally.
Practice morale is at an all time high
and as a result of her systematic approach of operation,
our practice production has increased dramatically.
- Her coach calls are especially insightful and allow us to deal with issues immediately and effectively.
- We at Downtown Dental are excited to keep working with Laurie for many more years ahead!
