By combining industry knowledge with strategy, creativity, and operational experience, POD Strategic Group helps businesses grow, thrive, and make a lasting impact in their industries.

Our Industries

Eye care professionals all have something unique to offer. But how do you stand out from the franchise down the street? We work with independent eye care businesses, both big and small, helping them stand out against their competitors and carve out a niche. From ophthalmologists to optometrists to opticians, we’ve worked with over 1,000 practices all over North America.
How do you communicate warmth, organization, knowledge, trustworthiness, compassion, security, and fun all at once? With our help. We empower senior living communities to put their best foot forward, making an impact on potential residents and their families. Our team knows your industry, right down to which words to avoid and what imagery to use.



Marketing your dental practice is a minefield. Regulations and bylaws can be unbelievably strict, and it’s hard to tell what you can and can’t say. The team at SmileShop Dental Marketing have poured over the rules and found ways to differentiate your practice without getting dinged by the powers that be in your region. Whether you’re independent or a DSO, we know how to set your dental practice up for success.

For over 35 years, Cleinman has been North America’s premier business development consultancy for large private optometry practices and growth-minded practice owners. Our team offers personalized consulting, HR services, data-driven insights, transformational wisdom sharing, and comprehensive practice transition services, empowering clients to recognize and realize all their possibilities.
