Episode Summary

In this next, hard-hitting episode of the Practice Efficiency Series, Shaun Damico, Director of Operations and Business Development at Williams Group shares strategies for improving efficiency within your optical.

Episode Notes

Being efficient in the optical is critical but can be a significant challenge for your entire team. Shaun Damico, Director of Operations and Business Development at Williams Group, shares the best strategies for improving your optical's efficiency. 

Takeaways: 

1. Engage your entire team in the optical sales process. Everyone on your team should be able to sell eyewear.
2. Reevaluate your approach to cross training. Can all team members can jump in to adjust, dispense, repair. Making a patient wait is one of the biggest causes for a poor experience and a negative review.
3. Consider adding clinical opticians to your exam room to improve patient perception, education, and treatment compliance.
4. Stop asking, "Do you want to buy glasses today?"
5. Embrace the reality that you have to be able to afford to deliver the level of care you desire to give your patients.
