support your practice needs. Review our services here then go to our pricing page to

Recruitment
Successful recruitment of associate veterinarians requires a comprehensive action
plan. Our plans include both short term and long term components. T&L Veterinary
Business Consulting is happy to provide references from veterinary practice owners
who have utilized our recruitment action plans.
Marketing & Social Media
Your website is your face to the world. It is where the bulk of your marketing dollars need to
go. Should you outsource it to one of the many veterinary marketing companies that do this work?
Should you develop a custom website from scratch? Do you want to create you own content? Purchase
content? What forms should you have on your site for maximum efficiency for both you and your
clients. Online stores, how to make them work for you. We guide you through the process of
answering these questions to the end result of the best possible website for your practice.
Social Media can be a minefield. We train you to navigate the pitfalls and create social media
to be an effective tool to bond clients to your practice. Everything from how and what to post, to
the social media policy in your policy manual to client consent forms we show you how to do it
right.
Staff Training and Engagement
T&L Veterinary Business Consulting offers a wide variety of staff training and team building
programs. The proper training of a new practice manager is often an issue in growing practices.
Often an excellent candidate for the job is promoted to practice manager from either the technician
pool or the front desk. They come to the job eager to do it well but with little idea of what they
should be doing. Unlike many consulting firms, T&L will train your practice manager to do the job
right, lessening your need for extensive future support from consulting firms.
Staff need training on all aspects of their jobs. It is their interaction with clients that will
differentiate your practice from others. Telephone techniques, handling difficult or unhappy
clients are just part of the skill sets we can provide for your staff.
Speaking
"Creating a culture that improves practice performance was the focus of the 2018
AAEP convention in San Francisco. The Sessions began with an excellent presentation
by Tracy Sheffield, who outlined the importance of a positive work
environment."

Learning from the Numbers
Evaluation of current practice numbers will not only tell you where your practice has been but
what direction you need to go. The numbers will tell you everything from the effectiveness of your
marketing program to how missed charges are affecting you bottom line. We will show you what
numbers to look at and how to interpret them or if you would rather we will do the evaluation for
you and give you a detailed report and business plan based off your numbers.
Human Resources
One of the key foundations to a successful Veterinary practice is successful human
resource practices. It starts with hiring the right people, coaching and developing
their skills and creating a culture where employees are engaged and highly
productive. We also know that at times an employee will be unable to do what is
right for the practice, when that occurs we have the skills and expertise to help
you navigate the difficult waters of releasing them from your practice. We provide
a wide variety of HR process’s, policies and protocols, built upon years of
experience solving people issues, as well as ongoing support at the ready to provide
advice and counsel.
