No Excuses - (Re)boot Camp

September 24th, 2019

My name is Angie Bachman, lead clinical trainer with Reboot Practice Productivity Training and I can guarantee you that not all training is created equal - especially clinical training. What makes up your clinical department? Personnel, Sterilization, Operatories, Lab, Technology, Supplies, Training (hiring) to name a few. This list could get pretty long. I know of training for administration, practice management, insurance, and marketing - and there are some really good programs out there - but, I have yet to discover an onsite, hands-on clinical training program as comprehensive as Reboot.

I love it when I walk into a practice and everyone says, “I love my _____ rep.” When I ask what they love the most about them, they say, “My rep always gets me the best price with the best deals.” But, your supply rep does NOT have your best interest at heart. Is it really a deal? Do you really need that side cabinetry? (see Out of Sight blog). I made a commitment to you when I started writing this blog. I promised to share real-life experiences. I was a sales rep for one of the “big 3” dental supply companies. It was a hiccup in my life. Sales meetings included what’s hot on the menu. “ Sell this and you’ll make an additional $$.” Looking around the room, the wheels were turning. Commission based or not, I couldn’t do it. I would go broke before selling all that cabinetry or the “cement of the month.” I had to have a purpose - to add real value to dental practices.

When you think “Reboot” Training, the first thing that might come to your mind is a 7-day extreme workout that’s guaranteed to get you fit as fast and as safe as possible. Military basic training is essentially boot camp. Depending on what branch, the enlisted are required to complete 7-12 weeks of training before they can begin service. Boot Camp is designed to take the minds and bodies of those able and willing and (Re)boot them into soldiers. 

Reboot Practice Productivity Training - What is it? Think boot camp but for the dental practice. It is the most comprehensive clinical training designed for dentists, by dentists. After an in-depth plan, we come to you. For two days, we will restructure your inventory, resupply and deployment systems. We will address the lab organization. We will simplify and standardize the area in your practice where the actual dentistry happens, ultimately implementing the tools you need to be most productive. We are an enthusiastic team of dental practice clinical trainers who have played the game and have decades of total clinical experience. We are efficiency experts. We are not dentists, but we work for one of the best, who consistently ranks among the top 1% in production per hour. 

We don’t stop there. Think about it. If you complete a boot camp workout in seven days, you need to practice the skills learned and maintain them - or bad habits will start to show their faces again. Continuous Improvement is a key principle of the systems implemented at Reboot. We call this Refine Training; a one-day, onsite training where we will assess and enhance the systems installed at Reboot. We examine what’s really working, and make it even better - and address any new bottlenecks that may have popped up after we set the stage for extreme efficiency and productivity. 

The most critical element of any system are the people who make it happen. Reinvigorate Training is a one-day onsite staff focused session where we will build custom tools to keep your clinical teams engaged, motivated and accountable. Our Heart Charts ™ are a game-changer.

An example HeartChartTM

Do you feel like your clinical staff is spending more time cleaning, get up to go gets,
processing instruments, and stocking rather than treating patients? Then, you need a Reboot. 

Are you spending too much money on supplies? You need a Reboot.

Are you ready to declare a state of emergency in your laboratory? You need to Reboot. 

Do you have crap everywhere except in the place you need it when you need it? You need to Reboot!

Reboot Practice Productivity Training is a dental practice boot camp. It lifts the chaos and lays down structure that will position your people and your practice for inevitable growth. We guarantee it! (Literally - we guarantee you’ll see a $50 production per hour improvement or there’s no charge!)

Stop looking at yourself in the mirror and saying, “I have got to go to the gym but I just don't have the energy or the time.” Start asking yourself why you feel that way. Trim the fat - get rid of the waste. Get your practice off the couch and out of the weeds - give me a shout! We’ll get you and your practice looking (and producing) like a toned, High-Performance-Dental-Pilates-Veteran in no time!
