I don't mind a bit of competition, but if we're being honest with ourselves, life would be simpler and your business would be a LOT more profitable if you didn't have to compete, Imagine a world where potential patients only knew YOU as THE Hearing Care Professional to go to.

Anything is possible! 💪🏼

So...have you ever wondered how you can buy your competitor? 💵

Well, in today's podcast, I'm going to dive into all the details on EXACTLY how you can approach and acquire one of your competitors right now, without having to leverage debt or step into a manufacturer unit agreement.

You're probably saying "sounds too good to be true" right?

Well, i guess there's only one way for you to find out, hit play and I'll let you in on all the secrets! 😉

Have a question you would like to discuss on the podcast? Shoot me an email to [email protected].

I look forward to hearing from you. Enjoy

Do you own a pair of AirPods? 🎧 Well, it appears that it was only a matter of time before 🍎 brought forth their long-awaited attack on the hearing healthcare world.  When I say ‘world’ that’s exactly what I mean, this new technology from Apple has the potential to disrupt hearing care internationally. 

This podcast is going to share what we know up to now, my predictions, the pros and cons to this move, and how I believe you should approach this to be positioned perfectly for the tech giant’s announcement. 

It’s only short, but this podcast is direct, and will ensure that you’re ready to take advantage when the time comes.  Enjoy!

I’ve been VERY hesitant to release this week’s podcast.

Because in all honesty, what I'm about to tell you, you might question my sanity, and when my name appears anywhere, the only image you will be able to invisage is me in a straight jacket.

Essentially, I thought there may be value (probably not) in sharing three little weird ‘high performance habits’ that I’ve discovered over the past several years.

•    One of them involves alcohol and shopping •    One is focused on mindful scheduling •    And the third is something that I’ve never shared with anybody (a little mental game that I play with myself).

To have a better business, you need to be a better business owner, and these are three of the things that I believe give me the edge and help me to improve.

Please don’t judge me lol!

I don’t “need” a new bathroom... However my wife “want’s” a new bathroom...

So...we’re getting a new bathroom! 🚿

Off the back of this fantastic home improvement thought from my wife, I’ve been contacting a variety of different installation companies, arranged visits for their representatives, exchanged a filing cabinet’s worth of pleasantries and discussed in detail options that were available. 

Yet, to this date, not a SINGLE company has followed up on our enquiries or meetings. 

Ironically, this inconvenience got me thinking, these companies must be sitting on what are effectively ‘Gold Mines’. 👑🤯

If they aren’t following up with my quote... think about how many other people who are in the same position as me, in a position to buy, but we don’t know who to turn to?

They’re wasting every bit of time they invested in me; the quote, a house visit, discussions and so much more... for what?

All to flush it down the toilet? 🚽 (Ok ill stop.)

Enjoy! 

Welcome to another thought-provoking ‘Under the Hood’ interview, and this week, if you'll pardon the pun... we're feeling victorious as Dr. Nancy Duncan is joined by Dr. Jill Davis from Victory Hearing & Balance in Austin, Texas.

Since the birth of her ‘Victory Music Program’ Jill has demonstrated to how she’s utilized “cognitive hearing” to create a sharp point of difference in her marketplace.

There’s so many lessons in this episode around adding additional services, proving just how important it is to look outside the box. Because as we all know... this industry is not just about selling someone a set of hearing aids.

I’m not sure about you, but I learn so much from these conversations where two great practice leaders put their heads together, bounce ideas back and forth and ask the questions that truly matter!

Enjoy!

I’m not sure if you should listen to this podcast... 

Last week I told you that if you only listened to one of my podcasts, to make sure it was that one.  

Well... in stark contrast to that, for the vast majority of listeners, this week’s podcast probably isn’t something that you’ll ever even consider.   Granted, not everyone is driven to build out practices on a franchise-like scale, but for some (you know who you are...), BIGGER can only ever be BETTER.  Are you looking for OBNOXIOUS growth? Want to know where the BIGGEST opportunities are? 

From buying out your competitors through unique deal structures to the low-hanging fruit, effectively "buying" extra revenue, it's all in this episode. So click play, and listen away.  

Enjoy.  Oli 😊  

It's BIG, it's Juicy... and If you only ever listen to ONE of my podcasts, make it this episode. Times are clearly changing and if you're trying to market yourself in the same way you did in years gone by, you might have noticed that it's not quite working the same way as it once did.

If you understand what I’m sharing with you in this episode, you’ll be head and shoulders above the rest of the industry... and you'll be able to benefit from a big opportunity in the next 6 years. What I'm about to share with you is the combination of studying months worth of data, trends and generations, to ultimately share the most in-depth details explaining EXACTLY what you need to do right NOW to attract the next generation of patients to your practice. I've always lived by the "5 P's"... Planning & Preparation Prevents Poor Performance, and I can personally guarantee you that this episode will give you foresight into what's changing not just in the Hearing Healthcare Industry, but for marketing all over the world in the next 6 years and how you can benefit from this monumental swing we're about to witness.

Have you ever wondered how BIG private practices do it? How they operate and how they manage such large teams?

Well today, you're in luck, as this podcast interview will be very insightful.

As part of the ‘Under the Hood’ series, Dr. Nancy Duncan interviews Robbie Davidson, the owner of Davidson Hearing Centres.

With 10 locations, and a whopping 48 members of staff, he has created a reputation as the oldest independently owned private practice in Canada ... what he has achieved (and continues to achieve) is pretty impressive!.

In this interview, Nancy dives deep into how he does it, how he manages such a large team and the secrets behind their success.

Enjoy

Yes, I like to overshar the details... And this podcast is no different... Today I'm going to share with you a very awkward interaction I encountered during the Formula 1 weekend in Dubai at a massage parlour, and rather interestingly, how my bad/awkward experience has provided me with some big lessons that you could take from this and apply to your practice.

I'm foreseeing plenty of opportunities for you to acquire patients from competitors that may have also had a bad/awkward experience (or been rubbed up the wrong way – get it?!) – there is some quick lessons you can take from this episode to attract more opportunities, and help them to put their bad memories behind them.

Oh, and if you’re easily offended or would prefer not to hear about the time I got awkwardly stripped naked by a Thai massage therapist – then this is not for you.

Enjoy! :-)
