Your Weekend of Business Development Courtesy of

Better Perspective. Better Results.When you attend a Business Development Weekend, you invest time with other top performing practice owners. The purpose is to expose and resolve both deep strategic issues such as succession planning and facilities expansion, as well as front-line tactical matters like staff issues, hiring & firing, compensation, marketing and bookkeeping. The small wisdom-sharing group setting allows you to interact with other practice owners in a safe, confidential and creative environment. And on top of that, you will have a chance to float your thinking by Al Cleinman’s team, some of independent optometry’s leading business consultants.

Lots of great take-aways - rejuvenating.Lucky 13 Group Member - CT

When you have a better perspective on your business, the results will come quickly, often from “blind spot” areas where you might not be seeing true and vital opportunity.

•Learn how your numbers “can talk to you.”

•Refresh your current approaches and revitalize your staff and practice.

•Peer validation is the glue that holds your experience together and offers rejuvenating ideas.

Two Professionally Facilitated Meetings Each Year“Unlike other consulting, sharing ideas and experiences with fellow docs is invaluable.” Dr. Ed Laulainen, WA

Every six months you meet up with your group of up to 14 other ODs in a professionally facilitated setting during the monthly network meeting. You will walk away from these two-day events with new ideas and skills from peer group interaction, professional presentations, problem solving exercises, strategic planning sessions, knowledge and experience sharing.

These meetings provide access to Cleinman Performance Partners’ senior consulting staff and facilitators, each of whom bring 20 or more years of business experience to meeting interactions to energize and “recharge your batteries”.

At each meeting, one or two carefully selected business leaders and industry representatives bring exposure to leading edge business concepts and breakthrough technology before introduction to the general eye care professional audience. This, along with interactions with the leading optometric business practices, brings you to the head of the pack, and keeps you there.

Meaningful Interaction with True Peers

“It allowed me to get out of my isolation and discuss optometric issues with other optometrists”. Dr. Bill Gordon, LA For any business leader, the benefit of having up to 15 minds pooling resources, brainstorming answers to questions, providing solutions to unique problems, sharing moneymaking and business-promotion techniques is immeasurable.

Time that is wasted in the lonely solo struggle to find solutions can be reclaimed for use in other areas, like family, golf and travel.

Comparative Financial and Operating Benchmarks

“I’m working fewer hours, but yet I’m more profitable”. Dr. Bob Salchak, TX

Imagine receiving a report card on the financial performance of your business on a regular basis. What performance is really possible with a practice like yours? How do you really stack up? How have the changes you have made affected your practice performance?

Through the Cleinman Performance System® database, the only such data base available in the industry, you'll receive a confidential semiannual report that determines how your business is doing in comparison to the other leading optometric practices in the Network. You'll be able to benchmark yourself against top performers. By understanding these comparative results and general industry trends, you can see where opportunities lie within your practice. Utilizing this objective knowledge, you can more successfully steer your business on a highly focused course to turn those opportunities into improved performance.

Your InvestmentYour participation in CPN is an investment, not a cost. Like any other investment, you should expect a substantial return. Your investment in CPN for an entire year is the equivalent of about one day's cost for custom consulting, yet the positive impact of your participation can be staggering. Here's what it takes:

• There is a one time enrollment and Benchmarking Opportunity Assessment fee.

• An annual membership is paid on an installment plan.

• A willingness to share information in confidence and put the resources you gain to work in your practice.

Membership to Cleinman Performance Network comes in two ways only. The first is by invitation only and comes with the responsibility to share information while maintaining confidence. The second is that you have been selected through careful screening based on practice size, growth and reputation. We ask that you approach this investment with a commitment to the concept of learning by sharing.
