Speed to Lead: The $30K Mistake Killing Your Clinic Growth In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down one of the most overlooked profit leaks in cash-based practice ownership — slow lead follow-up. Learn how the average clinic loses tens of thousands each month from poor contact speed, and discover a simple system to fix it fast. Quick Ask Help us hit our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to physical therapy. Share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories — tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it! Episode Summary Big picture: Most clinics lose $30K+ per month from slow follow-up and poor lead management. The data gap: The average healthcare clinic takes 2 hours and 5 minutes to respond to a lead — consumers expect 10–15 minutes. Industry average: Only 11% of people who fill out a healthcare form ever become patients. 100x advantage: Responding within 5 minutes increases your chance of conversion by 100 times. The math: Raising your contact-to-eval rate from 40% to 70% could add $30,000/month in revenue — no new ads, no new spend. Lessons & Takeaways Track everything: If you don't measure conversion from contact to eval, you're flying blind. Speed to lead: Reach out within 5–15 minutes when someone submits a form or books a call. Multi-touch follow-up: Use 5–7 touch points (calls, texts, emails) in the first 1–2 weeks. Auto + human combo: Use automated confirmations plus manual outreach to maximize connection. Text wins: Consumers are far more likely to reply to a text than a voicemail. Mindset & Motivation Serve, don't sell: Follow-up isn't pestering — it's helping people make the change they already want. Fix the leak first: Don't spend more on marketing until your conversion system works. Track the funnel: Know your contact requests, booked calls, evals, and follow-ups weekly. Pro Tips for Owners Set notifications: When a new form is submitted, get instant alerts via Slack or text. Train your admin: Give them scripts for fast responses and early scheduling. Layer automation: Confirm appointments automatically via text + email. Segment leads: Prioritize same-day outreach for hot leads; move cold leads to your newsletter. Systemize: Build a “speed to lead” SOP — who calls, who texts, and when. Notable Quotes “If you can respond within five minutes, it increases the likelihood they'll become a client by 100 times.” “Fortune is in the follow-up — and most clinics aren't following up at all.” “Nobody wants PT; they want the freedom PT gives them. Help them get it by being responsive.” Action Items Audit your lead-to-eval conversion rate. Implement instant text + email confirmation for all form submissions. Create a 5–7 touchpoint follow-up plan over two weeks. Assign ownership: Who calls, who texts, and how soon? Review results monthly — aim for 70% contact-to-eval conversion.

*****UPDATE: After we recorded this episode, GoFundMe announced they would reverse their stance on auto-generated nonprofit donation pages made without their consent making them opt-in instead of opt-out. Unclaimed Nonprofit Pages, they wrote in a public response, would be removed and de-indexed.***** In this episode of Nonprofit Newsfeed, George Weiner, Chief Whaler of Whole Whale, and Nick Azulay, digital strategist at Whole Whale, dive into a startling discovery involving GoFundMe's creation of 1.4 million shadow donation pages for US nonprofits. Without outreach or consent, GoFundMe auto-generated these pages, raising significant concerns within the nonprofit community. Discovery of Shadow Pages: The hosts note how they discovered that many nonprofits, including Whole Whale clients, had active GoFundMe pages soliciting donations without their knowledge or consent. Potential Ramifications: The hosts discuss the implications of GoFundMe using nonprofit logos and public information without permission. The platform also initially set a default tip for itself at 16.5%, which has since been reduced following public backlash. Impact on Nonprofits: The episode emphasizes the risk to nonprofit brand management, especially with the upcoming end-of-year giving season. Nonprofits now face the challenge of ensuring their brand integrity and donor relationships are not compromised. Recommendations for Nonprofits: George and Nick outline a "claim, clean, and correct" strategy. They advise nonprofits to claim their GoFundMe pages, correct any inaccuracies, and make the pages private to protect their brand and donor data. Broader Implications: The conversation extends to the potential impact on AI systems that rely on indexed information from such pages, affecting how nonprofits are represented in digital spaces.

So, Stacey has Anthony Sims from LUCKY DOG GUITARS in the shop to discuss the custom built six string. Anthony talks about how his love for music and playing live led to him and a group of buddies opening up a dance hall at 18 years old, how that led to building his first custom guitar and opening his small three-man shop in East Tennessee, and of course his two current automotive projects - a '68 Charger and an original DeLorean that he inherited from his grandfather who purchased TWO of them just before John Delorean's arrest.

To listen to the full episode consider becoming a donor to the Munk Debates for as little as $25 annually, or $.50 per episode. Canadian donors receive a charitable tax receipt. Should Donald Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize? Andrew thinks we should wait to see how this ceasefire unfolds before heaping praise on the US President. The current cessation of hostilities has more to do with Netanyahu and Israel's extremely aggressive war policy that has redrawn the map in the Middle East. Does Trump's brand of diplomacy work better in that part of the world? Or did Trump have the benefit of coming after Biden and two years of fighting that exhausted both sides? And finally has the media been fair in their overall coverage of Trump since he started his second term? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Andrew turn to ongoing trade negotiations between the US and Canada, and specifically Trump's hostility towards our auto industry. Is it time to let the sector go instead of pouring millions of dollars of subsidies into propping it up? Do we put tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles to protect our industry? And why aren't we supporting industries that are not subsidized and excelling on their own in the new economy? Rudyard and Andrew agree that trade has now become intermingled with climate change and security issues, and we need to take those factors into account as we negotiate new agreements for Canada. This podcast is a project of the Munk Debates, a Canadian charitable organization dedicated to fostering civil and substantive public dialogue.

Prezident Petr Pavel se zatím při vyjednávání o budoucí vládě Andreje Babiše (ANO) drží Ústavy, přesto ho mnozí kritizují. Přitom nejde jen o skandály Filipa Turka (za AUTO) a státní rozpočet. Jaké cíle má Rusko v Evropě podle německé rozvědky? A na jakého krále čeká Gaza? Nelegální trh s tabákem podle Jindřicha Vobořila roste a stát přichází o miliardy. O tom všem uslyšíte v Názorech a argumentech, které moderuje Kamila Pešeková.
Stellantis has announced plans to expand production in the U.S., while pulling back on production in Canada and the union representing the autoworkers is calling on the government to pressure the company to honour its commitments in this country. But, Christopher Worswick, an economics professor at Carleton University makes the case that Canada should consider following Australia's lead and phasing out the domestic car industry in the face of Trump's tariffs, rather than spending billions on support and subsidies
Canada's automotive sector continues to trot along the bumpy road, after auto giant Stellantis announced its plans to relocate Jeep production from the Brampton Assembly Plant to a location in Illinois.The Brampton plant has closed its doors in 2024 in preparation for the production of the new EV model, but that's also been paused after US President Trump's tariff announcement on the automotive sector earlier this year.The residuals of Trump's push for domestic vehicle production has since threatened the livelihoods of more than 3,000 at the Brampton plant alone, with the rest of the sector biting its nails for whatever else the President has up his sleeves. And Ottawa has since announced it might bring Stellantis before a judge if it actually goes through with their $13B investment moving down South.Host Mike Eppel speaks to Greg Layson, Digital and Mobile Editor at Automotive News Canada to break down the 'why' behind Stellantis' bombshell announcement, and where it leaves Canada's fragile automotive sector.

Aumentano i timori per i dazi, mentre cresce l'interesse verso l'arrivo delle case cinesi in Europa, con possibili nuovi stabilimenti, considerati un'opportunità dal 52% delle aziende.L'Osservatorio sulla componentistica automotive italiana, realizzato da Camera di commercio di Torino e Anfia, mostra un calo del 6% dei ricavi in Italia e del 5,6% in Piemonte, dove gli addetti diminuiscono del 2,4%. Meglio solo motorsport e aftermarket. I dazi preoccupano il 47% delle imprese (contro il 32% del 2023) e cresce la diversificazione verso altri settori. Il 68,6% delle aziende ha Stellantis o Iveco tra i clienti.Marco Stella, presidente del Gruppo Componenti Anfia, sottolinea la necessità di rivedere la transizione energetica europea, troppo centrata sull'elettrico, che riduce il ruolo dei fornitori europei e rischia di far perdere fino al 23% del valore aggiunto entro il 2030. Le imprese italiane della componentistica sono 2.134 con 168.000 addetti e un fatturato di 55,5 miliardi di euro. Il Piemonte rappresenta il 33,6% del totale. Interviene Roberto Vavassori, Presidente ANFIASciopero di 24 Ore in tutti i siti del gruppo ex IlvaSciopero di 24 ore in tutti gli stabilimenti del gruppo ex Ilva per richiamare l'attenzione sulla crisi che coinvolge 10.700 lavoratori diretti, 1.500 dipendenti di Ilva in amministrazione straordinaria e 6.000 dell'indotto. La mobilitazione di Fim, Fiom e Uilm denuncia l'assenza di un piano industriale credibile e il ricorso continuo alla cassa integrazione. La produzione è scesa sotto i 2 milioni di tonnellate l'anno, contro una capacità di oltre 8. Solo un altoforno è operativo, mentre gli altri impianti sono fermi per mancanza di fondi. Il debito ammonta a 5,4 miliardi e 4.550 lavoratori sono in cassa integrazione. I sindacati temono una frammentazione del gruppo con pesanti tagli occupazionali e chiedono un intervento pubblico deciso per garantire unità industriale e riconversione ambientale.A Taranto migliaia di operai hanno sfilato fino a Palazzo di Città per consegnare un documento al sindaco. Lo sciopero è un segnale contro l'assenza di strategia e la crisi del principale polo siderurgico europeo. Il commento è di Domenico Palmiotti, Il Sole 24 Ore TarantoNestlé, fatturato -1,9%, taglierà 16mila posti di lavoroNestlé taglierà 16.000 posti di lavoro a livello mondiale nei prossimi due anni, dopo un calo del fatturato dell'1,9% nei primi nove mesi del 2024, a 65,9 miliardi di franchi svizzeri (71 miliardi di euro). Il nuovo amministratore delegato Philipp Navratil ha annunciato un piano di riduzione del personale per accelerare l'adattamento del gruppo e ottenere risparmi annuali di 1 miliardo di franchi entro il 2027, il doppio del previsto.Il programma prevede la soppressione di 12.000 posti di lavoro in vari settori e 4.000 in progetti di produttività già in corso. La riorganizzazione segue lo scandalo che ha portato alla rimozione dell'ex CEO Laurent Freixe e alle dimissioni anticipate del presidente Paul Bulcke, sostituito da Pablo Isla, ex Inditex. Interviene Lino Terlizzi, Il Sole 24 Ore da LuganoVerso nuovo vertice sulla manovra, Cdm al momento domattinaMaggioranza ancora al lavoro per definire la legge di Bilancio. Il Consiglio dei ministri è previsto domattina alle 11, ma non si esclude un rinvio. Resta da definire il contributo di banche e assicurazioni e i tagli ai ministeri.Il Documento programmatico di Bilancio prevede 4,4 miliardi di contributo dal settore finanziario nel 2026 (11 miliardi nel triennio). Forza Italia si oppone a qualsiasi tassa sugli extraprofitti, mentre diversi ministeri chiedono di ridurre la spending review, che vale 2 miliardi aggiuntivi nel 2026. Si valutano possibili risparmi dalle tax expenditures.Il ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani ha ribadito che non ci sarà una tassa sugli extraprofitti ma un contributo concordato con banche e assicurazioni, evitando misure punitive. Ne parliamo con Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore

As the U.S. government shutdown delays key economic data, the Equifax Advisors team steps in with deeper insights. Host Emmaline Aliff is joined by Jesse Hardin, Tom O'Neill, and Maria Urtubey to unpack the indicators that matter most when visibility is limited—and to debut the Market Pulse Index, a new holistic measure capturing the intersection of credit, income, assets, and financial behavior across populations.Economist Justin Begley of Moody's Analytics delivers our macroeconomic update.In this episode: What is the Market Pulse Index?The Market Pulse Index is a new measure developed by Equifax Advisors that combines multiple financial dimensions—credit performance, income, debt, assets, and affluence—into one holistic view of consumer and market health. It helps lenders and policymakers understand economic conditions beyond single metrics like CPI or GDP.Why is the Market Pulse Index important right now?With the U.S. government shutdown delaying key data releases, traditional indicators such as the jobs report and GDP updates are unavailable. The Market Pulse Index fills this gap by integrating real-time, multi-source data to reveal trends in affordability, financial durability, and consumer well-being.How does the Market Pulse Index differ from other metrics like CPI or GDP?Unlike single-dimension indicators, the Market Pulse Index combines hard data (credit, income, assets) and soft data (consumer sentiment) to provide a multi-layered view of economic conditions. It can reveal disparities across populations, regions, and credit tiers—helping decision-makers identify who's thriving and who's struggling.What is the K-shaped economy and how does it relate?The K-shaped economy describes uneven recovery patterns—where high-income consumers see wealth gains while lower-income groups face rising debt and affordability challenges. The Market Pulse Index captures these differences, offering a clearer picture of financial resilience across demographic groups.How can lenders and businesses use the Market Pulse Index?Organizations can use the Market Pulse Index to:Track aggregate consumer health across income, geography, and age groupsIdentify emerging credit risks and opportunitiesAdjust lending and pricing strategies based on holistic insightsImprove risk management and marketing segmentationIf you have questions or suggestions for future podcasts, please reach out to riskadvisors@equifax.com.
