“What can be said about Jayne that has not already been used in the Tomb Raider movie? The Lara Croft of dental business? Some have said so –...”
and those that argue seem to disappear mysteriously.
I first met Jayne when she worked for Denplan. She appeared in my reception having crashed through the front window, swung down from the light fitting and decapitated two of my most irksome, unreliable NHS patients – who by some misfortune had happened to actually turn up that day (although one was 45 minutes late).
Having helped dispose of the bodies and tidy up the stains, she went onto explain how I could legally get rid of many more such people. The staff training programme she devised was very thorough. Although an elderly hygienist did object to the 50 mile route march in a particularly chilly November night and I wondered if the bomb disposal and booby trap module was strictly relevant.
Come the day of conversion though and it was all systems go. Everyone knew their job, the questions they were likely to be asked and how to pin down patients in a way that would not bruise them, whilst still leaving them free to sign cheques or forms.
So on the whole – a very successful conversion.”

“As Partners of The Cosmetic Dental Group in Jersey, we have always looked to develop our practice and over the last decade or so we have worked with a number...”
of external consultants, leading up to 2010.
We had been aware of Jayne Sproson’s abilities through feedback from many practices that she has provided excellent consultancy services over the years and the success she had achieved for these colleagues.
Jayne started providing consultancy services for us around 2010 and in the short period between then and now (2014) we have seen amazing changes at our practice; with a significantly larger patient base, much greater range of special interest and specialised skills being delivered. A much more capable, happy team taking the day-to-day initiative and responsibility to make the practice run as it should for us and our patients. On the business side we have expanded by approaching 40% in that time during a recessionary period.
Jayne is certainly unique within the dental profession. Following her corporate experience with Denplan Ltd and other consultancy companies, she has been running the very successful, Sproson Consulting Ltd, providing services to a large number of dental business clients.
What Jayne can do for you?
Jayne is distinctive in being able to motivate and enthuse clients to form an exciting and ambitious long-term strategy.
She has a tireless approach to achieving goals in a way that is harmonised with continuing to run the practice in it’s current form and integrate change in a well-managed way.
She is one of the best team trainers and due to her marketing skills and market ’antennae’ has created many strategic business partnerships that have raised our profile locally and significantly increased new patient flow.
She has a full range of high level business planning, management, marketing, team building and leadership skills.
You can rely on Jayne delivering more than 100% of what she proposes with tireless effort and total loyalty.
Whether your business is already successful and you wanted to move it on to the level, or whether you are unhappy with how your practice is going, I would recommend Jayne over and above all the other consultant experiences we have had in my 30 years in practice.
Don’t hesitate to ask for any further recommendation.

“To Whom It may Concern
I have great pleasure in recommending Jayne to yourselves. I have known Jayne for a number of years now and have found her to be...”
the consummate professional and I hold her in very high regard.
Jayne’s dedication to her clients is unsurpassed. From what I know of Jaynes work ethics there were not enough hours in the day. Nothing was every too much trouble and every time I needed her assistance it got results quickly.
If circumstances allowed ie if Jayne lived in this area I would have no hesitation in offering her a senior position here. Any organization employing Jayne would benefit enormously from her experience and professionalism. I am sure you will find that out for yourselves.
I wish Jayne very success and happiness for the future and am more than happy to give further information or clarification if necessary.
To Whom It may Concern
I have known Jayne for approximately six years and on several occasions she has made significant contribution to discussions and development of strategic ideas for my companies. Her ability to develop concepts and plans at a strategic level, both on her own and within groups is quite remarkable. She possesses that rare skill of being able to grasps and focus on key issues and deal with them in a creative way.
As a person she is very comfortable communicating at all levels within an organization in a persuasive and friendly manner. Whenever I have need for someone to come up with innovative, thought-provoking and intelligent suggestions to produce a plan for the way forward I immediately think of Jayne. If there is a need for someone in a full-time capacity in my organization I will be trying hard to tempt her into it!
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact me

“This letter is my official recommendation for Jayne Sproson as a business consultant for your organization. I was Business Development Director for DDAT when the owner instructed Jayne to be...”
involved in the project to create worldwide growth.
She was involved in an innovative sales process, business planning, marketing and the HR function. Her experience in a highly regulated profession was most useful in ensuring best practice and regulations were not lost in the excitement of the exponential growth we experienced. The results we had were so positive, that I was quickly able to involve Jayne beyond her original remit due to her competencies which are many but I list several key skills areas;
· Naturally commercially astute combined with an entrepreneur approach is as unusual as it is valuable in a consultant
· Understanding the ‘real issues’ that are preventing progress with a sensible approach to managing those
· Leadership skills
· Creating high performing teams – whilst Jayne will ensure that everyone is given the means to develop to their true potential, she is quite capable of making difficult decisions and having that ‘difficult conversation’.
· Sales process and training – Jayne can review existing skills and systems and can not only make reliable recommendations she has the ability to implement them.
· Jayne has huge integrity, a great work ethic and very high standards, which are self imposed and the client inevitably benefit from this.
Jayne is the consummate business consulting professional and always exceeded my expectations. She is diligent about collecting information and insists on developing appropriate systems to embed the cultural change required to benefit growth but also the value of the business
Most importantly to us, Jayne always indicates the practical applications her work had for our organization and future revenue generation. There is no doubt growth would not have been so exponential without Jayne as part of our team.
We also found out that Jayne has strong group communication skills, which meant that the changes required were conveyed in a manner that ensured that the team embraced the challenge. Jayne's professional and refined approach make her work valuable to clients and it is no coincidence that I have kept in touch with her for many years and worked with her on other projects since. Should Jayne be your next business consultant I have no doubt that you would get extremely good value for money and enjoy the business relationship immensely. I am delighted to be able to recommend Jayne to you.
Sincerely,

“As the Clinical Director at Evolve Dentistry, I have many responsibilities including marketing my practice and sales training for my team, as well as delivering top quality dental care to...”
my patients. I realised early in the life of my business that I needed to work with a team of professionals who could help me achieve the vision that I had for Evolve. Early on in that journey, I met Jayne Sproson when she was delivering a lecture on marketing and sales at the BACD conference. Shortly after that meeting I arranged for Jayne to spend a day with my team to discuss how we could improve our sales. Jayne took time before our training day to find out exactly where we were as a business and where I wanted the business to go, over what time frame and what my budget was to achieve this. She also wanted to know who was in the team and their roles within team. We then had an excellent day of training which resulted in our conversion rate of enquiries to new patient bookings from 67% to 92% over a 6 month period. Jayne took a real interest after our training day to ensure that we achieved our targets.
A couple of years later, I was again considering who I needed to help me take my business to the next level as I was increasingly busy doing the dentistry and Jayne again was the person that I felt was the right person to help me. On this occasion she undertook a full review of our marketing, what we had done in the past and recommendations for the future with a particular emphasis on digital marketing. She undertook this review systematically and in great depth. Jayne delivered a report that showed me what had been working, what hadn't been working, as well a detailed written document on her recommendations going forwards.
When I have worked with Jayne, I am always impressed by the results that she achieves, she takes the time to find out what I needed and then ensured that she delivers on the brief. She is passionate about customer service and being professional. I have no doubt that I will be working with Jayne again in the future and can highly recommend her to anyone who is serious about taking their business to the next level.

“Unlike many of her practice consultancy clients, Jayne has helped me tremendously at an early stage in my career. We met by chance at a BACD conference, and over the...”
course of an evening, she changed my outlook on dentistry, and focused my ambitions. She has since persevered with me to develop my abilities as an associate, and has constantly championed me to achieve more.
From my perspective, Jayne has an excellent sense of character judgment, and has a breadth of experience to solve almost any problem. She promotes an air of positivity, which in this profession, is much appreciated. I highly recommend all dentists to contact her.

“When I first started working with Jayne I had an idea where I wanted to take my business, but had little idea of how to get there. Jayne helped me...”
to fill in the detail around my vision, which then made taking the steps to achieve it much easier to see and to achieve.
We worked on my leadership skills, as it was clear that team buy-in was going to be critical in getting to where I wanted. It was so much easier to progress with a supportive team, rather than pushing against them. I had a team who embraced the changes we needed to achieve.
After working with Jayne, the business became much less reliant on me, in part because of the systems and structures we had introduced and implemented.
Working with Jayne was a delight, and I have no doubt that the ride would have been much bumpier and slower if I hadn’t.

I am greatly looking forward to working with her over the coming months and I have every confidence she will facilitate us achieving the progress we desire. Thank you, Jayne ”

work harder for her clients than she has for her own practice. the things that impress me about Jayne in business is that she always does the right thing by the client. Her reputation for leaving no stone unturned is well deserved as is that of focus, drive, determination and fun. Jayne can get to the real issues very quickly and evolve a plan that delight her clients.
She is able to either implement this herself or build a team and train them to engage in achieving the aims and objectives. She has an innate understanding of sales and marketing as well as how every action can impact on your team or your patients. Every project she has undertaken has had a real return on investment. Professionalism is her middle name. Discerning clients always remain in touch and recommend her. I obviously am in touch! - however I should now like to recommend her in her professional capacity.”
