The importance of a consultant to your practice - "As a doctor and business owner, you are the expert in your field of study.

Everyone loves to say… “Just write it off.”⁠

But here’s the truth:⁠
Write-offs are NOT free money. ❌️⁠
They directly impact your production, collections, and overall profitability. 💸⁠

A write-off means your practice produced something you are no longer collecting.⁠

And if you’re not watching them closely, they can quietly destroy the financial health of your practice.⁠


Here are 4 action steps your team should implement immediately:⁠

1. Audit write-offs weekly⁠
🔹Do not wait until end of month. Review adjustment categories every single week.⁠

2. Identify the WHY behind the write-offs⁠
🔹Are they insurance related?⁠
🔹Courtesy discounts?⁠
🔹Bad debt?⁠
🔹Uncollected balances?⁠
🔹Posting errors?⁠
You cannot fix what you do not track.⁠

3. Create accountability⁠
🔹Who is approving write-offs?⁠
🔹Are systems being followed consistently?⁠
🔹Every adjustment should have visibility.⁠

4. Educate the entire team⁠
Doctors and team members need to understand:⁠
🔹Write-offs reduce REAL production and REAL collections.⁠
🔹They are not harmless numbers on a report.⁠

The goal is not to “just write it off.”⁠

The goal is to build strong financial systems that protect profitability and long-term growth. 🤝🏼⁠

Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through relationships, systems, accountability, and a team willing to build the right foundation before scaling. ⁠

Kerri traveled to Colorado to spend time onsite with our new friends at Wood Orthodontics focusing on:⁠
✨ Building strong relationships with the team⁠
✨ Creating clarity in systems and protocols⁠
✨ Identifying opportunities for growth and efficiency⁠
✨ Strengthening communication and accountability⁠
✨ Preparing the practice for intentional growth into 2026⁠

The best growth strategies are never just about “doing more.” They’re about creating structure that allows the entire team to execute with confidence and consistency.⁠

Excited for what’s ahead for this team and proud to partner alongside practices that are committed to growing the right way. 🚀

High-performing practices aren’t built on hustle alone; they’re built on structure, clarity, EX*****ON, and a team that understands how to drive intentional GROWTH.⁠

This May, our focus is High-Performance Teams and High-Performance Results and we’re going beyond surface-level motivation. We’re focusing on the systems, accountability, and ex*****on strategies that create long-term growth inside a practice.⁠

We’re dialing in:⁠
✨ Training that builds confidence, consistency, and ex*****on⁠
✨ Clearly defined roles so there’s ownership, accountability, and operational growth⁠
✨ Development systems that elevate your team instead of simply maintaining them⁠
✨ Leadership strategies that turn reactive teams into growth-driven teams⁠

This is where:⁠
✔️ Accountability becomes part of the culture⁠
✔️ Communication becomes intentional and consistent⁠
✔️ Ex*****on replaces confusion⁠
✔️ Systems begin creating predictable growth⁠
✔️ Teams stop reacting and start performing⁠

What does this actually look like?⁠
➡️ A TC converting at 58% receives structured training, scripting, coaching, and weekly accountability and within 60 days is confidently executing consultations at a 75%+ conversion rate⁠
➡️ A team struggling with unclear expectations implements role clarity, accountability scorecards, and operational systems and suddenly missed tasks, dropped communication, and scheduling gaps dramatically decrease⁠
➡️ A practice stuck at the same production level focuses on intentional team development, stronger ex*****on, and operational consistency and begins seeing steady month-over-month growth⁠

No more guessing.⁠
No more inconsistency.⁠
No more “it depends on the day.”⁠

This month, we’re building teams that don’t just show up…⁠
They execute.⁠
They lead.⁠
They grow.⁠
They perform.⁠

Because the strength of your practice will always reflect the strength of your leadership, your systems, and your team’s ability to execute.⁠

🚀DM or comment “GROWTH” and let’s identify your biggest opportunity and build a strategy to elevate your team, your systems, and your results.

You’re giving your time.⁠
Your mind.⁠
Your whole self… every single day. 😴⁠

But without boundaries?⁠
Without intention?⁠
It starts to cost you more than it’s giving back. ⏲️⁠

This isn’t about balance.⁠
It’s about alignment.⁠

We call it the alliance!⁠
Where your personal life and professional life don’t compete…⁠
They complement each other. 🤝🏼⁠

✨ Happy Birthday, Melissa! ✨⁠

Today we’re celebrating a true pillar of strength within Shimmin Consulting, our incredible Consultant and Shimmin Virtual Financial Manager, Melissa.⁠

Melissa, the greatness you bring to our organization operates on multiple levels. As a consultant, you provide clarity, direction, and strategy that help practices move forward with confidence. As our Shimmin Virtual Financial Manager, you protect, guide, and elevate the financial health of the offices that trust us with their systems.⁠

You have a rare ability to zoom out and see the big picture while still mastering the smallest financial details. That balance is powerful. It creates structure for our clients and stability for our team.⁠

Because of you:⁠
• Financial departments are stronger and more accountable⁠
• Consultants are better supported⁠
• Systems are more intentional⁠
• And our clients feel protected in their investment⁠

But what makes your impact even greater is how you show up for the Shimmin team itself. You lead with steadiness, wisdom, and collaboration. You elevate conversations. You strengthen decision-making. You help us all think sharper and operate better.⁠

Your influence is felt in the strategy we build, the services we deliver, and the culture we continue to grow.⁠

Melissa, we are beyond grateful for your leadership, your excellence, and the standard you uphold across every role you carry.⁠

Happy Birthday! 🎉 Here’s to another year of impact, growth, and continued greatness. We are so lucky to have you. 💛✨

When collaboration feels easy, solutions feel tailored, and growth feels aligned… that’s when real transformation happens.⁠

Britney’s ability to bridge clinical insight with operational strategy is what allows us to meet practices where they are, and elevate them to where they want to be.⁠

To our incredible partners, thank you for trusting us to be part of your journey. Your growth is always the goal.⁠

We loved getting back in office with our clients, and now friends, at Hopke Orthodontics 🤍⁠

This visit was all about reviewing what’s working, restructuring where needed, and building a clear, confident plan for next steps as we head into 2026.⁠

Lisa had such a great time being back with the team, diving into strategy, and creating alignment on what’s next.⁠

There’s something powerful about being in the room together, collaborating, refining, and making sure every system supports growth and success.⁠

Grateful for partnerships like this and excited for everything ahead ✨⁠
