Business of Aesthetics, Your Success Matters!

Most practices run on the owner. Yours can run on a system.

Powered by our Practice Analytics Technology, the BOA Practice System turns your own numbers into a clear plan for your whole team, then shows everyone what to fix next, every month.

Why we built the BOA Practice System

  • 6 years of expert interviews
  • 18 years helping practices grow
  • Powered by your own practice data

The Business of Aesthetics podcast

Six years of learning what works in aesthetic practices

Since 2020, the podcast has asked successful owners, physicians and industry experts what grows a practice and what holds it back. The BOA Practice System puts those lessons to work in yours.

Busy every day. But is the practice actually growing?

A full schedule can hide what is quietly holding a practice back. Most owners only find out when the gaps show up months later.

  • Clients don't come back on time

    Tox clients leave without booking their next visit, and memberships go unused until they are canceled.

  • Consultations end with "I'll think about it"

    Almost every practice runs a consultation. Very few follow up with the client who left undecided.

  • Everything runs through you

    You know the numbers, you spot the problems, and you pass every fix down. You can't keep doing it all yourself.

Knowing what to fix is the easy part

Practices rarely struggle because they don't know what to fix. They struggle because nobody makes the change happen. So every practice gets three things working together.

The system

Finds the fix

Our Practice Analytics Technology analyzes your numbers against industry benchmarks, then tells each role what to fix next.

Your implementation specialist

Helps put it in place

Works with your team to install each system: the scripts, the checklists and the daily routines. Steps in when something stalls.

Your practice champion

Makes it stick

An office manager or team lead in your practice who owns the action lists and keeps everyone on track.

Every practice names a champion before starting, because systems only last when someone inside the practice owns them.

One system. Four parts.

Everything your practice needs to improve, without depending on any one person's time.

Numbers

Your 9 key numbers

Pulled from your practice software or a short monthly export, so you always know where you stand.

  • 3 years of your history to start
  • Updated every month

Roles

A number for every role

Front desk, coordinator, providers and owner each own the numbers they can move.

  • Clear goals for each person
  • You stop being the only one fixing things

Systems

18 proven systems

Step by step playbooks your team follows to improve each number.

  • Across six areas of the practice
  • Put in place one at a time, in the order your numbers need them

Rhythm

A monthly rhythm

Every month the system shows what moved, what slipped and what to fix next.

  • A monthly report
  • A quick weekly status update from each person
Every recommendation draws on proven playbooks, built from more than 300 interviews with the industry's leading owners, physicians and experts.

Practice Analytics Technology

The engine behind the system. It analyzes your last 3 years of practice data against industry benchmarks to find where revenue is slipping and why, then matches each problem to a proven playbook your team can act on.

Every number has an owner on your team

Each of the 9 key numbers is matched to the person who can actually move it. You stop being the only one fixing things.

Front desk

Owns 4 numbersCall conversion, no shows and cancellations, maintenance tox appointments, Google reviews

Answers every inquiry, books on the first contact, and fills canceled slots.

Coordinator

Owns 2 numbersConsultation conversion, membership visits

Runs a structured consultation and follows up with the clients who leave undecided.

Providers

Own 2 numbersRevenue per provider, new clients

Grow their skills, bring in referrals, and turn great results into new clients.

You, the owner

Owns 1 numberEarned revenue

Your monthly report is about decisions, not chasing data or passing instructions down.

18 proven systems across six areas

When a number falls behind, the system shows exactly which systems to put in place.

Systems that buildThey produce the number in the first place.

Systems that recoverThey win back what the first ones miss. This is where quick wins usually hide.

Revenue and profit

A schedule built around a daily target, a menu priced to sell, and a monthly check on costs.

Moves earned revenue

Provider performance

Every provider measured each month, and a clear path to grow their skills and rewards.

Moves revenue per provider

New client growth

How inquiries are answered, how missed leads are recovered, and how happy clients bring in more.

Moves new clients, call conversion, Google reviews

Client retention

Rebooking before clients leave, memberships that get used, and bringing lapsed clients back.

Moves maintenance tox appointments, membership visits

Consultations

A consultation that leads to a clear plan, and a follow up for the client who didn't decide.

Moves consultation conversion

Schedule protection

Confirmations and deposits that stick, and a fast way to fill every canceled slot.

Moves no shows and cancellations

The system follows up, so you don't have to

Reports alone don't change a practice. Action does. So the system keeps every person on track, every week, without you chasing anyone.

What your practice receives

You don't build reports or chase data. The system brings the plan, the numbers and the next steps.

  1. Month one

    Your Practice Blueprint

    Built from your last 3 years of data: where you stand, where revenue is slipping, and the order to fix it.

  2. Every month

    Your report

    All 9 key numbers against your goals, with what moved and why.

  3. Every month

    Clear next steps

    The next system to put in place, and a short action list for each role.

  4. Every quarter

    A Blueprint update

    Your plan is updated with your results, so it keeps up with your practice.

How this is different

Most coaching depends on a person and a meeting. The BOA Practice System runs on your data, every month.

How is this different from coaching?

Coaching depends on a coach's time and a monthly meeting. The BOA Practice System runs on your own data. It builds your plan, tracks your 9 key numbers every month, and shows each person on your team what to fix next.

Will I work with anyone?

Yes. Your free strategy meeting is with Jeffrey Richmond, cofounder of Business of Aesthetics. After that, an implementation specialist works with your practice champion to put each system in place, while the system handles your Blueprint, monthly reports and check-ins.

What is a practice champion?

An office manager or team lead in your practice who owns the action lists, keeps the team on track between check-ins, and works with your implementation specialist. Every practice names one before starting.

Without a coach, what keeps my team on track?

Three things. The system gives each person an action list and a quick weekly check-in, and alerts you when something slips. Your practice champion keeps the team moving day to day. And your implementation specialist steps in when a system stalls.

Do you use AI?

Yes. Our Practice Analytics Technology uses AI to analyze the business numbers from your practice software against industry benchmarks, and matches what it finds to proven playbooks built from 300+ expert interviews. It builds your Blueprint from your last 3 years of data and spots problems early.

What does it cost?

The regular price is $1,497 a month. Founding members pay $897 a month, locked in for as long as they stay. It is a flat fee, with no revenue share. The commitment is 12 months.

How much time does it take?

Reading your monthly report takes a few minutes. Each weekly check-in takes your team under a minute. Your practice champion needs a little time each week to keep the action lists moving.

What do you need from my practice?

Access to your practice software, or a short monthly export, a practice champion, and the team members who own each number.

How do you handle access to our data?

We only pull the business numbers needed for your Blueprint and reports, outside practice hours. We walk you through exactly how access works in the strategy meeting, before you sign anything.

Which practice software do you work with?

We confirm yours in the strategy meeting. Some systems let us pull the numbers directly; with others you send a short monthly export.

What if it doesn't work for us?

Your Blueprint sets goals from your own numbers, and every quarter it is updated against your results. If a number isn't moving, we change the plan instead of waiting. And because we check your data and fit before you sign, you know what you're committing to from the start.

Do I need to be an Ekwa Marketing client?

No. The BOA Practice System stands on its own.

Run your practice on a system, not on you.

10 founding spots at $897 a month, instead of $1,497. Opens Thursday, November 12.
