Consulting Engagement Proposal
Prepared for Kim Middleton
Practice Operations & Case Acceptance

Consulting engagement with Ressler Dental and Troy Family Dental

Kim, this is the formal version of what Sarah and I have been wanting to bring to you. Two practices to start: Ressler Dental and Troy Family Dental. Both have a real operational need on a clear timeline, and both feel like the right fit for the work you do best. The pages that follow walk through scope and timing for each. All we need back from you to move forward is two numbers: anticipated hours per engagement, and the hours you can commit to. We will work out final terms together from there.

01 / Background

Where this is coming from

Sarah and I have been wanting to bring you into SGA in a more structured way for a while. This is the first version of that. Two practices we know well, both with defined, near-term operational needs that fit the kind of work you do.

If these two go the way we think they will, the next conversation is about a broader, ongoing role with us. Most likely a recurring cohort program where you work with a small group of practices at once instead of one at a time. There is more on that on page four, but for the purposes of what we are asking today, treat it as where we are headed and nothing more.

On structure, we want to work the terms out together. Tell us how many hours you anticipate each engagement realistically taking, and how many hours you can commit to. Those two numbers are what Sarah and I will use to come back to you and talk through final terms.

02 / Scope

What each engagement looks like

Both engagements have the same shape. You come in, watch how the practice actually runs, audit what is happening against what good looks like, give the team direct feedback, and help them get better. The only real difference between the two is where each practice is starting from.

03 / What we need

Your anticipated hours and what you can commit to

Two numbers from you and we can move. No need for a long document. A short email with the numbers below works fine. If you want to note any assumptions or thoughts on structure, that is helpful but not required.

Response Requested

Send the two numbers back over email. Sarah and I will use them to come back to you and work out final terms.

Itemize Ressler and Troy separately. The two numbers across both engagements are what we will use to land on terms that work on your side and ours.

Q1
Anticipated hours per engagement
Your honest estimate of what each engagement realistically takes you. Prep, on-site or session time, and any follow-up included. Itemized for Ressler and Troy.
Q2
Hours you can commit to
How many hours you are able to dedicate to each engagement, given everything else on your plate. If that number differs from your anticipated hours, that is useful for us to know.
04 / Looking ahead

After these two engagements

Ressler and Troy are not one-offs. Behind them, we have a steady flow of practices new to full-arch dentistry that would benefit from the same coaching this proposal scopes, delivered one practice at a time at first.

Once two to four of those practices are sitting at roughly the same stage inside a quarter, the format we want to test with you is a weekly cohort session. Same content, four or five practices in the room, one prep cycle on your end. That is the bigger version of the relationship we have in mind a quarter or two from now. We will come back to you with a proper scope and structure for it once we see how the first two engagements land.

To be clear

The cohort program is the direction we are headed. The scope on the table today is just the two engagements in Section 02. We will come back to you with a proper proposal for the cohort when the time is right.

05 / Process

How we move from here

  1. You email Dakota with your anticipated and committed hours per engagement.
  2. Dakota and Sarah review on our side and come back to you to work out final terms together.
  3. Once we are aligned on terms, SGA sends an SOW for each engagement with start dates, deliverables, and payment structure.
  4. Troy kicks off on the confirmed start date. Ressler kicks off the week Go High Level goes live.
  5. Debrief with Dakota and Sarah at the end of each engagement, then a real conversation about cohort.

Thank you for reading through this, Kim. Sarah and I picked these two practices on purpose. Both of them will benefit from having you in the room, and both will be in a better place by the time you wrap.

If anything in here needs more context before you respond, please just call. A 15-minute conversation now beats chasing clarifications over email later.
