How Much Is A New Patient/Client Worth? New Patient Should Be Worth At Least $1000 In The First Year
So Why Can’t Offices Get More New Patients? What They Actually Capture What They Don’t Even See
What’s The Missed Opportunity? Issues With Your Phone Issues With Your Ability To Answer Calls That Go To Voicemail Calls That Get A Busy Signal Calls That Ring, Ring, Ring & Caller Hangs Up Because No One Answers Fact: 87% of New Clients Who Call An Office Do NOT Leave A Message/Voicemail • Dropped or Disconnected Calls
Dropped or Disconnected Calls Occurs In Over 90% Of The Offices We Work With Majority Of Docs/Staff Have No Clue It’s Occurring Results Because Of A Poor “Hunt Sequence”
The Hunt Sequence Either Controlled By The Phone Company Or Controlled By Your Phone System Directly 90% Of Time It’s Not Working Properly
Where Is The Problem Located? 2 Possible Areas: With The Phone Company Most Team Members Were Unaware That They Should Be Testing Their Hunt Sequence On A Monthly Basis & If Problems Seen, Alert Their Phone Carrier So They Can Reprogram The Correct Sequence
Where Is The Problem Located? 2 Possible Areas: With The Phone System Itself Most Team Members Have Had 0 Training On How To Operate Their Phone System or How To Know When It’s Not Rolling Over Properly Result? Dropped or Disconnected Calls Means New Patients Can’t Get Through To Make An Appointment
Solutions? • Test Your Lines. Have Someone Talking On Line 1. Have Someone Call In On A Cell Phone & See If It Rolls Over & Rings On Line 2. Have Someone Answer That Phone. Caller #3 Should Then Call In & See What Happens. If Any Calls Get Disconnected/Dropped, Then You Know You Have An Issue
Solutions? • If You Do Have A Problem • Start With Your Phone Carrier To See If They Can Fix The Issue. Retest It After They Said They Fixed It (Many Times They Don’t Do It) • If It’s Your Phone System, Then Hire A Phone Technician Or Whomever Set The Phones Up Originally To Come In & Test The Programming Of The Phone, Fix It, & Train The Staff On How To Do This In The Future
Result? More New Patient Calls Will Get Through For You To Schedule Appointments

Missed, Unanswered, Get Busy SignalAverage Office Misses 40-50 Potential New Patient Calls/Month
How Much Is A New Patient/Client Worth? • 40-50 Missed Calls Per Month • Result: You Are Conservatively Losing $50,000 or More • Every Month & Don’t Even Realize It! • That’s Where We Come In To Bring These Type Of Issues To Light
That Costs You $40,000-$50,000 A Month In Lost Revenue! Why? • Poor Telephone Management • 2 Actual Phones At Front Desk, One Person On Hold With Insurance Company, One Confirming Patients For Next Day Means New Patients Can’t Get Through. Lines Are Tied Up
Why? • Understaffed, Not Enough People To Handle Volume Of Calls Received • Existing vs NP Conflict • Too Many Tasks Going On… • Calling On Friday, Saturdays & No One There To Answer The Call • Everyone In Office Takes Lunch From 1-2pm So No One Is There To Take New Patient Calls
Solution? • If One Person At Front Desk: Hire A Second. If You’re Trying To Grow You Need To Have That Capacity In Place. • Stagger Lunches: Someone Goes To Lunch From Noon-1pm, Someone Goes From 1-2pm. This Way, Someone Is Always There To Answer The Phone. Rotate Who Goes When Every 2 Weeks To Keep It Fair • If Patients Are Calling On Fridays, Pay Someone To Be There At Least From 8am-1pm To Capture Those Appointments. It’s Worth The Investment
