Sandra knew that dentistry was one of
the hardest services to sell. And, seeing the success created in this
arena made the thought of more work with other service professionals even more
exciting.
She took one year to apprentice with a national
business development firm before opening her private consulting
practice. This commitment gave her hands-on experience in hundreds of
independently owned businesses nationwide. She specialized in marketing and practice management strategies with dentists, chiropractors,
veterinarians, and all types of service professionals.
She achieved Senior Consultant status within five months and was given
the firm’s most challenging clients. With this and thousands of jet
miles behind her, in 1987, she founded Advance Associates Inc.

owners and thousands of team members since 1986. She prides herself in guiding them in taking their
business and skills to the next level of success.

Lee says, "Frankly,
if you don't get people the results they want, making their business
lives better overall, they simply don't invite you back ... let alone,
year after year! Working with service professionals and their teams,
business success strategies continue to be a true career love of Sandra's!
Entering the field of business management in 1981, Sandra was the
Administrator of a group dental practice in Dallas. During her tenure she led
the practice growth from $540,000 to over $2.7 million per year by
1985. They expanded from 9 to 75 employees in four years – a major
team building, coaching and business growth process!
Leading this group to the top 1% of their field – marketing,
systemization, team building and a solution focus became Sandra’s key
business strengths.
Abruptly, in 1985, Sandra had a major life
setback. Her 17-year marriage was broken. Her husband announced he
was having an affair and no longer wanted the responsibility of
marriage or their daughter.
Like it or not, Sandra’s teen daughter and she had a whole new life
ahead. This felt like death at the time. But, it actually became the
birth of Sandra’s new career and carrying her passion for people
in service professions to a much higher level.
