2044: Inside the Operations of the Dental Success Companies Pt. 2

The Dentalpreneur Podcast w/ Dr. Mark Costes

On today’s 2nd part episode, Kay discusses the importance of having robust systems in place to ensure efficiency and minimize the need for micromanagement. She shares her experience implementing a travel preference checklist that has streamlined Mark’s extensive travel schedule, ensuring all preferences are met and reducing stress.

The conversation shifts to the evolution of these systems, starting from the early days with Ashlee Hirschfeld, now COO of Dental Success Network (DSN), and how these processes have been refined over the years. Kay highlights the value of detailed checklists, not only for travel but for all operations, such as event management and office supplies. This meticulous approach ensures consistency and high standards across all aspects of the business.

Kay also reflects on the challenges of managing a young team, emphasizing the importance of hiring individuals with ambition and a willingness to learn. She credits the company's culture of personal development and continuous learning as key factors in the success and growth of team members. Mark and Kay agree that the biggest perk of working at Dental Success Companies is the access to invaluable resources and the opportunity for personal and professional growth.

Kay shares her strategies for managing stress and maintaining control over her workload, including excellent communication and thorough prioritization. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing that much of the stress is self-imposed and can be managed through effective planning and delegation.
