There is a lot of strategy that goes behind deciding on the perfect location for your practice. With our help, we will put together a geographic and demographic analysis that provides the data to help us determine where the right location actually is for you. The report includes an analysis of factors such as age, gender, income, housing, and competition.
No two aesthetic practices are alike but many perform the same services. It really depends on what procedures you will be performing and the demographic location your practice is in. You want to be careful to have the patient base to drive revenue so you do not end up with a laser or equipment graveyard. Every practice has the infamous “equipment graveyard,” basically meaning that everyone has pieces of equipment that they bought and do not use. Lastly, do not get caught up with aggressive salespeople. Make sure you know the equipment you want.
There are five steps when hiring new staff:
- Recruiting (you can go about this through HR employment channels, referrals, vendors, etc.)
- Interviewing
- Hiring
- Training
- Incentivization
