TBS160 - Hiring New Staff for Higher Productivity with Will Jones

Will Jones is the owner of Will Jones Dentistry, a practice based in Brentwood, Tennessee that offers services such as implants, botox, and sleep apnea treatment. With a long family history of dentists - from his sister and grandfather both having careers in dentistry and his parents meeting in dental school - it’s not surprising that Will found his passion for the industry and all of the amazing benefits it offers. Will earned his DDS from The University of Tennessee Health Science Center and holds an IV Moderate Sedation License, which he obtained from the Tennessee Board of Dentistry.

Will joins me today to discuss how he manages his practice and why he is optimistic about its increasing growth and profitability. He explains how he took over the practice and the difference in profit between the old team and the team he assembled. He explains the benefits and drawbacks of changing team members as well as why you should not be afraid to remove even those who stayed with you the longest. Will also describes how he manages the financial side of the business and we share tips regarding practice management as a whole.

“Don't be scared to let a few people go and replace them with someone better." - Will Jones
