In Optometry, as in Sports, Coaching Takes You to the Next Level

ADVERTORIAL

Serena Williams and Roger Federer have been at the pinnacle of professional tennis for the past decade or more. But in recent years, both sought the services of coaches to help them to maintain their incredible level of competitiveness.

Optometrists, and especially highly successful optometrists, can learn a lot from their example.

In sports as in other disciplines, a true professional knows the value of working with an individual or consulting group to evaluate performance and identify areas for improvement. Standout performers not only work with coaches; they implement their advice. Those unaware of their level of performance routinely lag behind the pack and achieve little more than mediocrity in their careers.

Optometry is a complex business with multiple profit centers that require constant oversight. As a result, optometrists often are overwhelmed by the demands of running their practice. Not only must optometrists see patients; they oversee operations, manage staff and direct strategic planning. Further, they run staff meetings, monitor retail profitability, professional profitability, individual optician productivity, and they oversee reports on cash flow, profit and loss statements, benchmarking, while handling managed care issues, coding and billing audits, compliance manuals and hiring and firing. All of these areas are vital to the success of an optometric practice, and maintaining them requires time and effort.

Like professional athletes, optometrists need coaching. Optometric practices with the best net profits work with outside consultancies to ensure that all practice functions are more than being performed, they are exceeding expectations.
