Overhead Management

Reducing Your Overhead to 55%
Presented by Sally McKenzie, CMC
29 minutes

Excessive overhead can affect both your ability to reach your own professional goals as well as your practice’s ability to continuously improve services for patients. It’s time to take the plunge and delve into the nitty-gritty of what will enable your practice to achieve the gold standard for overhead, which is 55% of your collections…the money you deposit in the checking account.

If you are currently at 60-65%, congratulations, you are in the comfortable range for a general practice. However, to really protect your practice from the ever-changing economy, you will want to look closely at the overhead triggers – inconsistent production, low collections, and high expenses.

Even if you are managing to meet your operating costs each month, you may not have enough left over to pay yourself quite what you had in mind. Even if you do have the revenues to pay your bills AND pay yourself a fair wage, you will still benefit by taking this course. After all, can you honestly say that you net enough profit to stash away something for your retirement every month? Do you always have the ready cash you need for professional training and continuing education for you and your staff? Have you set aside a nest egg for the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment, or a bit of savings to keep your office décor looking fresh and up-to-date? Lastly, do you have the capital reserves to market your practice so that it can survive in a marketplace that’s becoming more competitive each day?

The first step in keeping overhead in check is to have a complete picture of not only your operating costs, but how those costs measure up to those of other dental practices and industry standards.

This course will teach you:

  • Common problems and causes of high overhead
  • Profit and Loss Report – how to understand it
  • Ideal overhead category percentages
  • What to consider before acquiring additional facility space
  • Causes and solutions of high salary overhead
  • Causes of high debt hygiene

Testimonials

Before the training I didn’t have a clue how to make my practice better, but since going through it there is no place to go except up!  Now my confidence level is sky high and I can’t go fast enough to implement my visions and new ideas.  I would definitely recommend training at McKenzie Management!  Not only do you get great ideas & techniques tried and true, but you also are given confidence & enthusiasm that radiates throughout your practice.   We didn’t just concentrate on our major problems; we also focused on the “little things” that I realized could be implemented easily and immediately. Being taught by someone who had “been there done that”, I knew I had made the right choice to pursue training at McKenzie.

Prior to attending the Advanced Dentist Business Training, my knowledge was minimal. After receiving the training on dental business systems, I felt a significant gain of knowledge. I feel more empowered to run my practice. The information is very informative and customized.
