Increasing Your Profit Margin and the Value of Your Practice
About this Event
What is your profit margin?
What is your profit?
What is the difference?
And how do these impact your growth, ability to attract great talent, and the value of your practice?
Even though payers are finding ever more inventive ways to not pay you or just pay you less, there still remain a few clear avenues for you to significantly improve your profit margin and the value of your practice.
Join me to learn what changes you can make to double or even triple the value of your practice.
I am not exaggerating. I have helped practice owners identify the path to go from thinking they would just be happy to walk away to a likely valuation of nearly $1M.
In the last month I have shown other owners how they can:
- Go from a purchase offer of $130k to a likely valuation of over $800k using the same key metrics the buyers based their offer on.
- Increase their company’s monthly revenue by over $8k with virtually no additional expenses.
- Increase a single clinic’s monthly revenue by over $5k just by managing their therapists’ billing more closely (to align with their other clinic).
What can I do for you and your practice?
This will be a small group webinar. Let’s explore the dials and levers you can move to dramatically improve your revenue and profit.
I will send you what key data you need to gather prior to this webinar so you can look at your own numbers and identify what will have the biggest impact with the least effort.

Create order, save time, and increase your profits. Learn the 12 Focus Forward Pillars you need in your business!
About this Event
Over ninety percent of business owners start their businesses because they are good at what they do. But there are two other types of work beyond their specialty that are necessary for the successful running of a business.
The three types of work are:
- Technical
- Managerial
- Strategic
Most business owners are specialists at their Technical work. They then must learn the Managerial and Strategic work necessary to run and grow their businesses. This often happens through trial and error instead of an efficient and structured approach to learning.
The 12 Focus Forward Pillars will help you learn the foundations of the Managerial and Strategic work that will help you run and grow your business. I call this your business generalist education. You are a specialist at your specialty. This will help you be a generalist in business to enable you to reach more people with your specialty.
The 12 Focus Forward Pillars are the structure that you need in your business. They provide a structured approach to putting the pieces in place to allow you run your business while focusing on your specialty.
We will dive into each of the 12 Pillars to help you and your business reduce chaos and interruptions, inspire your team, and delight your customers and patients.
AND… there’s a Money Back Guarantee! I guarantee you will get way more value out of the training than the ticket price, or your money back. No questions asked. What do you have to lose?
See you there!

About this Event
To most practices, billing is a sequence of essential tasks needed to submit claims, post payments, determine what patients owe you and check into why some claims have not been paid.
Most billing related metrics (KPI’s) represent what billing software developers thought you should know about the status of claims.
When properly utilized, billing is an essential revenue cycle process that provides you with mission critical data and is the most sensitive process effectiveness indicator in your practice.
In this webinar Bob Kowalick will show you how to obtain the practice intelligence you are missing from your billing processes and how to know how well billing and all related revenue cycle processes are working.
Understanding this is critical to understanding how to maximize your cash flow, profit, and your practice value.
This webinar will dive into metrics specific to revenue cycle and billing and complement the Feb 3 webinar on Increasing Profit Margin and the Value of Your Practice.
Bob Kowalick has helped practice owners add millions of dollars to their practice values by optimizing every-day processes. He is an expert on billing and revenue cycle management.
Description
Bad hires cost us so much in time, money, morale, and to our brands. And we have all made bad hires, sometimes by compromising, but more often by not having a robust process to find and truly vet “A-Players”.
According to TopGrading, most companies hire A-Players only 25% of the time.
Following a proven methodology, companies can achieve successful hiring of A-Players up to 90% of the time.
In this presentation we help you understand and adapt the methods used by General Electric and other successful hiring organizations to your smaller business.
As small business owners and entrepreneurs we do not have the resource that a GE has. But there are methods and processes you can put in place that will improve your hiring of great people much more often and consistently than 25%, or even 50%, of the time.
In this 90 minute presentation you will learn:
- how to define and identify A-Players (and B & C-Players)
- how to improve the quality of applicants while reducing the volume of candidates to review
- how to efficiently screen candidates in
- how to get more of the answers you want beyond their prepared resume
- how to organize and hold an efficient interview to find resourceful people with character who align with your values
- how to assess your candidates’ skills in a tangible way
- how to do reference checks that actually get you answers
- how to induct new hires and have them feel welcomed in your organization

About this Event
The value of your practice comes down to how well you are doing at outperforming the market averages in two areas; cash flow and growth rate. Going from the 25th percentile in these two metrics to the 75th percentile triples the value of your practice. How you fare in that regard comes down to the condition of a few key business processes in your practice. Even in the downward reimbursement environment we are in, there are many avenues available to you to significantly improve practice value.
Opportunities lie in just about every day-to-day task you and your team presently perform.
Over the past 5 years Bob Kowalick has helped practice owners add millions of dollars to their practice values by optimizing every-day processes. They followed three steps:
1) expanding awareness of how money was being left on the table without even knowing it,
2) optimize critical business processes,
3) improve data.
Accomplish those three things and you will be off to a new level of profitability. In this 1-hour webinar Bob is going to share what he has learned by helping practice owners go through these steps to having more financially stable and scalable businesses.

The writing is on the wall. A Vision of Meaning that you actually use, one that incorporates purpose, values, and where you are going, is a critical component of building a Purpose Driven Business.
Where can you learn more about this? I’m glad you asked.
Join me for a one hour crash course on Purpose Driven, Values Driven Organizations, and how to get started on your own Vision of Meaning.

About this Event
90% of business owners start their businesses because they are good at what they do. But there are 3 types of work:
- Tactical/Technical
- Managerial
- Entrepreneurial/Strategic
Most business owners are specialists at number 1, just not 2 and 3.
The good news is you do not have to be a business specialist. But you need a good foundation in the Managerial and Strategic work to be a good enough business generalist.
If you are mired in the day to day and feel like you are running in place, this is for you.
If you are being pulled in multiple directions, this is for you.
If you are surviving, but want to be thriving, this is for you.
It is not that you cannot keep up or are not capable. We get addicted to “busy” and to the chaos. It makes us feel important. And you are not even remotely alone in this.
But when we take a moment to slow down and think, it is obvious — Of course you need structure to grow and thrive in your business. You need a foundation in the Managerial and Strategic work necessary to your business and to your success.
The 12 Focus Forward Pillars are the structure that you need in your business!
We will dive into each of the 12 Pillars to help you and your business reduce chaos and interruptions, inspire your team, and delight your customers and patients.
AND… I guarantee you will get way more value out of the training than the ticket price, or your money back. No questions asked. What do you have to lose?
See you there!
