Dear Labby,
I’m an optician with a practice in a nice, affluent area. I have a great staff, we’ve got a pretty good premium product mix, and we’re in a long-term relationship with a nearby lab. The quality of their work is good, and they’re pretty reliable about delivery times. I don’t have a lot to complain about. But there’s something missing. Our relationship has become routine, and while my lab is helping me keep my business doing well, I feel like things could be better. How do I take my relationship with my lab to the next level?
