20/20 Money Episode #203 – Rethinking the perception of sales in your office with Kayla Ashlee, Founder of Spexy

September 26, 2022

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! I’m joined by Kayla Ashlee (founder of Spexy) live at Vision Expo West. Kayla and I spend our time talking about a word that often gets a very negative connotation in practices: sales. We talk about ways to make sales a positive experience, we each share our definition of what sales means to us, and ways to think about changing sales culture in your office. We wrap up the conversation with Kayla telling us what two words, if given the chance, she would abolish from every optometry office.

As a reminder, you can get all the information discussed in today’s conversation by visiting our website at integratedpwm.com and clicking on the Learning Center. While there, be sure to subscribe to our newsletter and you can also set up a 20-30min Triage conversation to learn a little bit more about how we help OD practice owners around the country reduce their tax bill, proactively manage cash flow, and make prudent investment decisions to help them live their best life on purpose or check out any number of additional free resources like our eBooks, blog posts, and on-demand webinars.
