Why work with Bob Priddy

Robert F. Priddy, Should I work with you?

This is the question I'm most frequently asked by physicians, and I appreciate its significance. It's not a simple yes or no; it's a strategic decision. My answer, drawn from years of exclusive focus in this niche, is both candid and insightful.

Let me reframe it. You wouldn't walk into a master tax accountant's office and expect them to say, "No, you don't need my expertise—just muddle through it yourself." Of course not. You seek them for their specialized ability to find value and opportunity you would otherwise miss.

I learned this lesson powerfully early in my career. After I advised a potential client that they might not need my services, my business partner—a semi-retired, highly respected physician—took me aside. He firmly reminded me that true expertise always adds measurable value and increases the likelihood of a superior outcome. He was right. Undervaluing deep specialization is a disservice to those who need it most.

So, when I say "it depends," it's not a evasion—it's a diagnostic. My counsel on whether we should partner hinges on a precise assessment of your unique ambitions against the realities of the non-clinical marketplace. Based on my specialized insights, here is what I advise you to consider:

1. Your Career Longevity and Aspiration
My guidance is clear: if you intend to remain in the workforce for five or more years and target an executive or senior-level role, the investment in our partnership—typically equivalent to about one month's future salary—is not just warranted, it's one of the highest-return decisions you can make. I help you compress years of trial and error into months of strategic execution.

2. The Critical Gap Between "Want" and "Can"
This is where my advisory role provides immense clarity. Many physicians know what they can do, but haven't explored what they want to do—or how to align the two.

  • If the difference between your desires and your current capabilities is unclear, you need my strategic guidance.

  • If you're limiting yourself to what you believe you can do, you need my insight to reveal a wider array of possibilities.

  • If you want to understand how your passions fit into the non-clinical ecosystem, my mapping expertise is indispensable.

3. Understanding the Profound Shift in Strategy
The search for a non-clinical career is fundamentally different from finding a clinical job. It’s a nuanced process where traditional recruitment channels often fail. My methodology, detailed across my resources, addresses the extended timeline, the art of self-presentation, and the strategic outreach that recruiters won't tell you. If this landscape seems confusing or opaque, that is the clearest signal that my counsel will provide a decisive advantage.

So, Who is Not an Ideal Fit for My Services?

My expertise is designed for physicians seeking transformative, long-term career success. You may not require my specialized advisory services if:

  • Your goal is strictly short-term, temporary, or part-time work. While I can often create better fits than one could alone, the investment may not align with your objectives unless this is a long-term, non-financial driven choice.

  • You are solely focused on remote medical record review. These roles are largely found through public postings; your time is better spent refining your search skills, not on high-level strategic advising.

  • Your primary strategy is to apply for jobs online. This is the least effective method for landing significant roles. My process is built on a completely different, proactive methodology. I'll be here to assist when the frustration of that approach becomes apparent.

There you have it: my straightforward, expert assessment. This should provide a clearer framework for your decision. However, the final step in any informed choice is a conversation about your specific situation.

I invite you to a direct, no-obligation consultation. Let's discuss your unique goals and I can offer immediate, actionable insights. This is what I do best: provide clarity and a specialized path forward.

So, there you have it. I hope this helps in answering the should I work with you question, but as always, I’m happy to discuss your unique situation to whatever extent you require to make your own best and most informed decision. You can contact me HERE for a hallway consult whenever you wish.
