How Customized Solutions Guarantee Growth and Profits

Dental Management Systems and Coaching provided by Accelerate My Practice (AMP) brings a much needed approach to the dental industry. Dental Practices nationwide are challenged with the fight against consumer spending habits and the growth in technology. To lead dental teams towards the way the industry is shifting AMP created systems and processes that focus on understanding the psychology behind Consumers Purchasing, a Healthy Business, Case Acceptance, a Strong Team, Technology and more.
Having the most innovative experts in the market in practices all around the nation has proven that customization is key. The only way to provide dental coaching is to give doctors the ability to customize an approach that focus’s on specific office challenges. Every practice is unique and each should be treated differently.

Customizing strategies specific to individual practices is the most effective way to grow a dental practice. No matter the location, economic structure of the region, size of the practice, years of experience or the amount of the time AMP is in the practice. The results are generated within a single months time due to the customization provided by AMP.

This study will demonstrate honest practice data captured while on site with doctors. While the AMP focus is providing strategies to doctors and team members on how to grow the practice’s finances, what is more important is for everyone in the practice to grow personally while they continue to grow professionally.
Many consulting companies categorize their services with the intent to hyper focus on one specific area. For example, a category may be “Hygiene” which would mean that the focus is only on increasing profits in the hygiene program.

 The flaw here is that a binder given to an office and team ultimately gets forgotten about and the contents of that binder isn’t specific to that practice. Sometimes it’s not even relatable which leaves practices seeking additional information in forums, colleagues and books.
This is not as impactful as a coaching company who offers customized solutions allowing doctors to understand why they should rebuild their hygiene program to become a more successful one and how that is going to impact their case acceptance rates and increase cash flow. These customized programs encourage team members to think differently about their day to day interactions with patients. A hygiene team benefits greatly with in office guidance and real patients.

Implementing customized 360° systems and processes have yielded huge results all across the United States, below are 3 practices that have made their way through AMP’s program each with their own goals and different approaches.
