"I met David when he started his first company over 20 years ago.
His experience and understanding of the dental lab industry have made him a great thought leader, and I am glad to see he’s sharing that through consulting and speaking.
His insights on the dental lab industry are always worth knowing and he has an energy that’s fun to be around."
"I have known David for over 10 years and interacted with him numerous times as participants in dental and dental laboratory meetings together. We’ve shared views on many areas of dentistry and participated together on several programs."
"David is a very innovative and creative person and a stimulating leader who knows the dental and dental lab industries very well. If you have any needs that could benefit from his expertise, you will not find a better candidate."

"After 18 months of amazing, highly profitable, growth, I literally told David he may have to slow down growing our dental lab."

"David’s diverse experience in the laboratory community coupled with his quick mind and business acumen make him a powerfully valuable, results-oriented asset to any dental laboratory.”

Our lab got cases from five new dentists, from the first 25 cold calls we did, using David Lesh’s Complete Selling System for Dental Labs. We have never experienced results even remotely close to that before.
David's system included his CRM and routing setups, extensive sales and follow up training, and role-playing. It is a complete selling system that has completely changed how we go about winning new clients, and it was all done by Zoom, 15 time zones away.
David jumps on calls with us just about every day to help us though creating the best follow ups and designing the most efficient sales routing that lets us get more done in less time. Just amazing.
Thank you David, you are the GOAT! Use David before your competitors do!
Dr. Don Miloni Founder ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers
"I brought David on to be our interim VP of Dental Lab Operations where he oversaw all aspects of our 23 dental labs, their performance, HR and manufacturing of our all-on-four implant prosthetics.
David's knowledge of dental lab operations, leadership and management style allowed our team to focus on growing our dental practices. I would highly recommend David for any strategic or management considerations any dental organization may have."

"I literally closed my first sale, for a $6,000 case, 27 minutes after my very first sales training with Dave.
I 100% would not have landed that case without his training. Thank you David!"

“I grew my lab from 1 to nearly 75 employees, at its peak, over the past 8 years. It has never been easy, but with the constant year over year growth and successes we were experiencing, I thought I always knew the winning formula.
Entering into 2019, we were starting to face harder challenges that were more difficult for me to navigate through. Being the lone decision maker on many of these challenges, I started to question myself more. Being a bigger lab, with multiple locations in different states, there was more at risk than ever before to keep the ship moving in the right direction.
At one of our peaks of chaos, I saw small writeup in LMT about a new consulting firm led by Dave Lesh. I knew the name well as I started my lab as a CAD/CAM lab in 2011 and Dale Dental was king. I blindly sent him a message to see if I could find any value in talking to someone about some of the things I was instinctively making decisions on. That ended up being one of the best decisions I could make at that time.
Where do I begin with on working with Dave? He has lived, breathed, and experienced everything dental lab related. We have touched on every aspect of owning and growing a lab and has provided advice that has challenged the way I have typically looked at and faced challenges.
Our lab as a whole - financial, administrative, sales, human resources, and CEO level decision making and negotiating - have all improved drastically in a positive light and direction.
Dave has always said that he is there to see us win - and that’s exactly what we are doing together.”
