Q&A Segment
- 00:22:46 – Question 01 – My practice overhead is higher than ideal, especially regarding my ‘Team Member Compensation’ category. I’m concerned that if we start doing more meetings and team-building activities, we will have less productive time, and my overhead will just increase even more. Your thoughts?
- 00:27:35 – Question 02 – I’d like to take my team members to more CE courses. However, some team members cannot travel due to their family situation. How can I include those team members who are not able to travel?
- 00:29:28 – Question 03 – I really like your suggestion of scheduling two all-day team meetings each year to include team-building activities. What are some specific activities we could consider?
- 00:34:30 – Question 04 – I have taken my team members on CE trips in the past, but I haven’t really felt that we received lasting results from this investment, and it may have been partially a result of not having the best team members. However, I now have a very strong team and want to do more CE with them. How can I get a better return on this investment?
