BizQuiz: What can a manager do for you? (Answer 2c)

Taking the BizQuiz? This is the answer to question 2 of "What can a manager do for you?"

2) C-A little too optimistic there-it's actually close to double the revenue.

The 2009 Veterinary Economics State of the Industry Study revealed that practices with a manager earned an average gross revenue of $1.2 million compared with $646,000 for practices without one. In addition, the average revenue per full-time-equivalent (FTE) doctor at a practice with a manager was $400,000. It was $50,000 less ($350,000) for FTE doctors at a practice without one.
