Challenge & Solution
There have been multiple challenges since we met in 2013 with key ones being:
Our Process
When Dr Oldham first approached us, he wanted a new accountant and joined swiftly. Since joining, we’ve provided most of the services Hive has to offer.
The accountancy team worked closely with Caroline, one of the Directors of the group. They worked hard to ensure financial visibility was clear and delivered in a way that allowed informative conversations. This structure has been the foundation of being able to make big decisions.
Working with the marketing team at Hive has enabled practice growth, understanding of the marketing systems that work for the practice and stimulated great pathways to continue to grow. The team specifically introduced open evenings at the practice to drive high value treatment signup. They also used direct mail to increase implant patients which successfully grew their patient base in this area.
No service has been without impact, they have seamlessly dovetailed together to deliver the holistic growth plan we want all of our clients to experience.
Hive has changed the way I view my practice. I went from quite a small-minded mentality to thinking a lot bigger as soon as Hive got on board.
