Opticians:Unhinged

Welcome back Nerds! We're both hoping you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones this week! Sorry this episode is late, but the holidays are nuts and so are we! This week we wanted to serve you guys something light and informative and we decided to recap some of the Do's and Don'ts of handling our eyewear. We've gained some followers since we originally aired our episodes about lenses and frames and wanted to revisit those points and add some more to it as well. It might not be as much fun to listen to but hopefully you'll all find some knowledge to gain here! So reheat some leftovers and hit play!

So we're still having issues and that's not surprising anymore. We lost the first 20 minutes of recording and the post edit didn't save right either. But we're here and we're sharing some life hacks about alternate ways to use their HSA/FSA benefits to their advantage and not just limiting it to eyewear. So tune in and bring a notepad because we're a month and a half away from your benefits running out and we want your bucks to work in your benefit!

Woah! We are BACK and more unhinged than ever! We both thank you for your patience with our technical difficulties last week, however, this week we're having a hard time staying on topic. We're trying to discuss Cherry Optical Lab's recent news about partnering with Horizons Optical. How that could affect the landscape of options available available on the market? What are their products like? We're hoping for great things but currently just speculating a LITTLE too hard. Enjoy this episode for the hilarity of our conversation more than the topic itself. Check out our socials for sneak peeks from the bloopers! Thanks for coming back to hang out with us!

In this episode, we challenge the status quo by examining the impact of commission payouts in your optical sales and how they can hinder customer-centric practices in the optical field. Join us as we discuss the need to replace commissions in the optical industry and with fairer compensation structures.https://www.eyecarebusiness.com/supplements/2013/march-2013/framebuyer/b-hot-topic-bhttps://invisionmag.com/more-than-80-of-ecps-dont-offer-a-sales-commission-but-many-do-offer-various-bonus-and-incentive-programs/https://www.optiboard.com/forums/showthread.php/12633-Advice-re-optician-commissionshttps://blog.visionweb.com/optical-dispensing-the-pros-and-cons-of-commission-programs#:~:text=Commission%20programs%20are%20a%20perk,percent%20of%20monthly%20dispensary%20sales.https://www.payscale.com/research/US/Job=Optician/Hourly_Rate

Welcome back our four-eyed friends! In today's episode, Lucia and I are discussing the Do's and Don'ts of fitting kids in glasses. This is an art that many opticians have not perfected and we want the parents of the world to know what they can do to help their kids look and feel their best this school year and many years after. Pull up a seat and bring your coffee, and be a part of our conversation!
