The Path To Financial Success For Many Eyecare Professionals Begins With Hayes Consulting

“Increased $100,000 In One Year!”
“The results we received from the ‘Practice Profitability Analysis’ this past year have been wonderful. We’ve averaged a profit increase of 5% of gross for 3 offices, totaling over $100,000. For a $4,000 investment — that’s incredible. We are extremely pleased. Ms. Blackwell was very professional and very generous with her time. The way she helped me categorize my expenses, in particular, was extremely valuable. We’ve reformatted a number of reporting items with our accountant. I recommend this service very highly.”
— Dr. Brian Oswald • Crestwood, IL

“You Helped Me Add Another OD To My Practice”
“Because I have a degree in finance and accounting, I felt I held the tools for financial planning management in my own growing practice. However, after working with Dr. Jerry Hayes and Marilee Blackwell, I was introduced to many new concepts of practice enhancement and was able to add an additional optometrist without sustaining any financial loss from my own personal income. I highly recommend this wonderful team of financial advisors.”
— Dr. Bob Turney • Crossville, TN

“Your Report Gave Me Confidence”
“The evaluation and information I received validated my own assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of my practice. It gave me the confidence that I really could improve profitability by increasing my practice fees and still be competitive in the local market.”
— Dr. Richard Orgain • Hendersonville, TN

“Increased Net 75% In One Year”
“By implementing Marilee’s recommendations, I increased my net from 18 percent to 32 percent (a 75% increase!) in just one year. I wish I had done this 10 years ago.”
— Dr. Victoria Blower • Anchorage, AK

“Marilee Was Very Professional”
“I found the ‘Practice Profitability Analysis’ to be very thorough. Marilee was very professional, helpful and provided continual communication throughout the process. I wasn’t expecting a typewritten 50 page report — that was really enlightening and helpful. I got a lot of practical advice on how to enhance my profit margins.”
— Dr. David Moss • Cordova, TN

“Discovered A High Gross Isn’t Everything”
“Going through your ‘process’ was very valuable. It forced us to analyze where we were losing or making money. Having a high gross isn’t everything — you can still have slow leaks. We re-evaluated staff productivity, and also learned that we were out of line on cost of goods. The report we received was very thorough and we found Marilee to be very professional and helpful with our questions.”
— Dr. Gary Nance • Memphis, TN

“Improved Our Net 150% In Just Six Months!”
“We hired Hayes Consulting because we were having a tough time making ends meet and they helped us improve our net by 150% in less than six months. Beyond Marilee’s obvious skills in helping eyecare professionals achieve their financial goals, she has a personable and caring style. The value we received was worth far more than the modest fees we paid.”
— Dr. Sandra Eveleth • Fort Myers, FL

“Increased Net From 22% To 32% In One Year!”
“Hayes Consulting showed me how to increase my net income from 22 percent to 32 percent in just one year. Marilee helped me develop an incentive plan to motivate my staff and showed me how to monitor my practice finances so I could achieve my goals. I highly recommend Hayes Consulting for any practitioner who is trying to increase his or her net income.”
— Dr. Mark Wolmer • Danbury, CT

“Your Process Was A True Learning Experience”
“Marilee was efficient and professional but at the same time personable, and the process was truly a learning experience for us. The final written analysis she provided was to the point and the remedies were realistic, achievable and supported by her business plan. We are on the right track now with accurate benchmarks that will allow us to assess our progress and the means to control our fate.”
— Dr. Donald A. Perlmutter • Cleveland, OH

“Report Was Very Understandable And Usable”
“The way in which you organized the information is very understandable and usable! Your advice was based on our performance, and I really appreciate your unbiased recommendations.”
— Dr. J. Eric Paulsen • Sturgeon Bay, WI
