The Magic of Intentional Consistency

The best patient experiences and the worst patient experiences grow out of the same problem most businesses face: their systems are inconsistent. Johanna Loeffler, CPBA, Senior Director of Operational Development, shows you the one trick you need to always deliver your best to your clients.

The Impact Of The Personal Touch

Cleinman Performance Partners’ Senior Director of Client Solutions, Amanda VanVoris, talks with Alan French, OD, FAAO regarding the challenges he had running his practice and his consulting journey. See what Dr. French says was one aspect of the consulting process that really stood out for him.

Did It Really Kill The Cat?

Our consultants often get asked, “what do I look for in an employee?” This is an age-old question, and I’m quite certain that most optometrists don’t really think this one through. First, each position likely has a requirement for different attributes. As just one example, a bookkeeper doesn’t have to be very people-oriented while an optician simply must be. The attributes of your patient-care coordinator will likely be different than those of your contact lens tech. Different jobs require different skills.

The Future is in your Closet!

I recently read an article that predicted that on-line optical is expected to reach a 21% share of market by 2023. Ouch, you say! Firm’s like Zenni Optical, Warby Parker and Essilor’s EyeBuy Direct and FramesDirect.com are out to eat your lunch. VSP is right there with them. Are these your enemies…or friends?

What It Takes!

Some time ago, I had my office painted. As I reassembled my “stuff” after the project, I had occasion to reconnect with a number of mementos; items that remind me of various steps in my career. Memories.

Happy Holidays!

Cleinman Performance Partners wishes to extend to you our warmest wishes this holiday season.  Thank you for growing with us, and wishing you continued health, happiness, and success in the coming New Year!

Time Really is Money

We live in a fast-paced world where we are faced with competing priorities that often force us to relinquish the ownership of our choices and our time. How, then, do we find balance for our personal and professional productivity? The answer lies in learning to find the hidden value in how we invest our time. […]
