TEC is a philosophy, a high-level strategy that can be incorporated to accelerate any practice in any business environment with a focus on independent practices.
After years of watching profits erode and the commoditization of our dispensaries, a novel approach was imperative. Practice differentiation and the patient experience are keys to an independent and profitable practice. We did the work for you and aggregated the best-in-class, independent players in our industry, known simply as TEC – The Eye Consortium.
We have taken it even further to create a comprehensive suite of products and services for your practice to use to increase profitability and remain independent. We aim to ease the pain points that make running a practice difficult and time-consuming. Creating a community of like-minded business people allows us to curate a specialized group of vendors, focus on maintaining your unique environment, and increase your profitability.
Why choose independent? When you sell main stream products, you are choosing to directly compete with the retailers and vertically integrated chains. Not only will they undercut the independent practice and divert your patients, but they do this all while simultaneously lining their pockets with your profits.
At The Eye Consortium (TEC), we have curated the industry’s most aggressive programs for your practice. We offer the best-in-class suite of solutions to help ease the pain points of running a business. We utilize data and analytics specific to your practice and your region to ensure maximum profitability.
It’s a business. Profitability is not a bad word.
At The Eye Consortium (TEC), we understand the benefit of the premium patient experience. Selling better quality, individualized products within your practice will amplify patient loyalty, elevate your practice, and differentiate you from the chain groups and your biggest competitors.
In our industry today, it has become rather cliche for groups to talk about their support for the independent while simultaneously lining the pockets of your biggest competitors. At TEC, we have carefully selected vendor partners who share our core philosophy. Establishing working relationships with these vendor partners will reduce your reliance on the vertically integrated companies while keeping you authentically independent.
