At Provide, he’s playing a key role in launching and expanding our SBA offerings, building a strong foundation for growth, and helping our customers build their legacies.

We asked Provide Advisory Network member Dr. Dan Dinowitz, DMD to share three takeaways from his first three months of ownership since opening Voorhees Pediatric Dentistry. Here’s what he shared with us. ?? 1?? Patience and flexibility are key. Unexpected challenges like vendor delays or insurance hurdles are inevitable. Being adaptable and maintaining a positive attitude helped us overcome these obstacles without compromising the quality of care we provide. 2?? A team that is committed to providing an excellent patient experience makes all the difference. Creating a positive and empowered work culture translates into better care for our customers, which strengthens the trust between our practice and the families we serve. 3?? Clear communication with customers is a game-changer. From follow-up texts to social media updates, making sure families feel informed and comfortable with their child’s treatment plan has helped us build strong relationships with our patients. #ProvideAdvisor

As the year comes to a close, it’s the perfect time to assess your business’s current performance and plan for the future. But how do you start, and what data should you examine for your 2025 planning? Demographic data ?? Understanding the specific needs of your customer base starts with knowing who they are. Customer satisfaction data ?? Customer feedback can allow you to respond to concerns, celebrate strengths, and identify opportunities to enhance service quality. Staff performance data ?? Analyzing employee performance – including productivity, attendance, turnover, and customer feedback – can provide a clear picture of your team’s strengths and areas for improvement. Financial data ?? Key metrics like revenue, profit margins, cash flow, operating expenses, and ROI offer an objective view of your business’s financial health. Forecasting data ?? By analyzing historical trends and market conditions, you can more easily anticipate challenges and opportunities, from customer flow to potential external disruptions.
