Good Afternoon to everyone. I write this blog standing in the Internet Cafe at the British Orthodontic Society Web Cafe in Harrogate. Its quite amusing that almost everyone is out of sync given that the conference started on Sunday and no-one can quite get their head round that it is only Tuesday now. Something tells me this is going to be a long week. Still we can't complain - having agreed five practice sales in the last 24 hours - a new company record!
The BOS is an event that seems to have been well attended by many of the Orthodontic Alumni and it has been nice to say hello again to a lot of our Orthodontic client base - particularly the two who have recently had sales agreed and are excited about the future ahead given that there appears to be an air of pessimism about the new Orthodontic Contract and the likelihood that they will have to tender for their goodwill in the coming months.
For us this is the first marketing event of what looks as if it is going to be a very tiring autumn season with an over-subscribed seminar at South Lodge to follow on Thursday Evening. If you are interested in attending there are another six repetitions of this seminar before Christmas with more to follow in the New Year. We will also be launching Buying the Right Dental Business in Birmingham on the 18th November for those at the other end of their dental career pathways.
All in all it's been nice to spend a few days in the beautiful city of Harrogate and life without VPN and Wi-Fi has allowed us to consider how to improve our service offering over the coming months. Although, I'm sure my waistline would prefer it without the Shortbread accompaniments.
Hopefully see you all over the autumn.
