This can be a short term or long term engagement and we will ensure that your objectives are met. Our projects are tracked and you are in the drivers seat while we work from the bottom up and work either with you directly, involving your team as much or as little as you want, or independently to get it done.

With 15 years of industry experience, a Doctor of Audiology to oversee the work and experience with clinical practice, manufacturing and clinic sales, we bring all of our experience to bear on your goals to accomplish them successfully.

Here's your chance to compare how you do things to how things could be done.

You may or may not pursue our software or other custom services and may choose to implement our recommendations on your own or with our help, or not at all.

The practice management product is like an external audit of your EW software or for those that don't use it, a outside review of your processes that generates a recommendation/action report.

Insurance Benefits

Mon, 31 Jan 2011 06:30:35 -0800

Hearing Clinics are usually smaller and getting good insurance can be difficult at a good rate.

Ear Works Inc. therefore offers a new insurance program for hearing clinics whether or not you use our other products or services.

There are 4 packages to choose from. Each provides lower rates with more coverage than most individual or group plans.

Bayside Life (based in Calgary) will walk you through the process of comparing your current coverage to this new program and then get you and your staff signed up for the better, more cost effective coverage.

Plan is only available in Canada. The broker Bayside Life will handle all support calls. Ear Works Inc. is not an insurance agency.

Reverse Head Hunting

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 11:09:08 -0700

"I appreciate the reverse head hunting scenario; this is a small incestuous industry with the advantage to the employers, this evens the game. Thank you."

REVERSE HEAD HUNTING

If you're ready for a change and want a stress-free and exciting solution to finding your new dream career step, fill out this form!

Name
Email
Subject
Message

If you are looking for a first job or are changing jobs, you may be at a disadvantage in the market place if you reveal your identity.

How it works traditionally:

Staffing agencies and head hunters traditionally work for the employer and the employer is charged a fee that the agency pays based on the salary offered to the applicant. However, the applicant usually reveals their identity making it difficult if you don't want your employer or others to know about your intentions. This is a small industry and ultimately your identity is your strongest asset and needs to be protected.

How Ear Works Inc. Reverse Headhunting works:

We represent you anonymously. A confidentiality agreement is signed with the engagement letter and we now search jobs for you customized to what you want. We will present all jobs to you, apply for you to the ones you like and negotiate on your behalf and nobody will ever know your identity.

We will then be paid by the employer so this is a free service to the applicant, you.

Turnkey Solutions

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 08:48:01 -0700

Tell us more about your new venture!

We will contact you to determine how we can help you achieve your own dream clinic

Congratulations! Opening up a new clinic can be exciting and daunting at the same time. As you know, you have several options. One is to go it alone with key manufacturer support, while another is to partner with investors or groups who will buy part of your practice in something like a 70/30 or 60/40 split.

You may find this appealing but it may not be your best option in the long term with respect to exit strategies, profits you will be making long-term, and the relative value that the co-ownership produces for you in the future.

You have another option - Ear Works inc. turnkey solutions. This means that you take your vision and engage Ear Works Inc. to do the whole or any part of the process. Your general steps will be

creating a business plan
finding, vetting and choosing key professional support including bookkeeping, legal and IT
legal, incorporation and accounting requirements
negotiating optimal supplier agreements
finding an office
equipping the office
setting up IT - network, computers, software
furnishing and designing the office
creating a brand, letterhead, image, business cards
creating brochures and print material
deciding on and choosing marketing
creating a website
planning a launch strategy
hiring staff
executing the launch strategy
engaging key referral sources
managing media PR campaigns
follow up support, evaluation and adjustment

We can do it all or any part of these key milestones for you. A clear and concise flat fee summary of work is created, the milestone activity is tracked in a private and secure online site so you know exactly how the timeline is proceeding and whether the goals are being achieved on time.

Costs are generally profit shared once the clinic starts earning for a defined limited period of time so there is no cost up front, and any payments that are due are determined on the success of the clinic. This gives Ear Works Inc. the incentive to do a superlative job at getting it right and making you successful from the start.

You don't have long-term commitments, only short term payment responsibilities once you generate cash flow, and not before. The only up-front costs you have are the actual assets and products you need to buy to equip, furnish and prepare your office - including office costs, professional fees for non-Ear Works consultants, software, hardware, rent, furnishings, equipment and so on. Ear Works Inc.'s professional fees are waived until the clinic produces cash flow, and limited for a period of time so you don't have up-front costs, only fees for a short time after becoming solvent.

Ear Works Inc. takes the risk that if the company does not succeed that all incurred costs and expected revenue will be lost and therefore not earn anything on the efforts provided. Therefore we will carefully assess whether any given new start-up fits the criteria for the risk Ear Works Inc. has to put forward. To this end you will just need to send us a vision statement outlining exactly what you want to see the end solution to look like, and why you think it is worth the risk for Ear Works Inc.

Weigh your options and see what we can do to make you rise to the top faster with less stress and lower cost than alternative solutions.
