Why can your practice feel busier than ever, show higher production, and still not see more money in the bank? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, ACT Dental's Director of Education, to explain why gross production is often a misleading proxy for profitability and what to measure instead. You'll learn the difference between gross and net production, how write-offs and overhead quietly erase gains, and the first steps to protect margins so profit can follow production. Listen to Episode 1057 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production can be a “gross misrepresentation” of what a practice can actually collect, while net production reflects what is realistically collectible.Higher production does not automatically create higher profit when write-offs grow and overhead rises at the same time.Practices get it wrong when they celebrate production without tracking what gets adjusted away and what it costs to deliver the care.Large write-offs (insurance, membership plan discounts, elective courtesies, and untracked adjustments) can create an “effort gap” where work is done but revenue is not collectible.Adding hours, days, team members, and equipment to chase production can increase expenses and compound the profitability problem.Practices get it right by tracking adjustments by category (and often by individual insurance carriers) and by regularly reviewing the P&L to confirm expenses are aligned with revenue-producing needs.The first action steps are to clarify write-offs in the practice management system and to understand where overhead dollars are going before pushing for more production.Snippets:00:00 Why production can be up while profit doesn't follow.02:10 Gross vs. net production and why the distinction matters for doctors and teams.06:10 What it looks like when practices get it wrong and the bank account doesn't grow.07:05 Write-offs and the “effort gap” between delivered care and collectible revenue.08:35 How chasing more production can quietly drive overhead higher.10:05 Why the real issue is often strategy, not production.14:15 The mindset shift for fee-for-service: being okay with downtime and using it well.17:10 The first thing to do tomorrow: get clarity on write-offs and adjustments.19:05 The next step: review the P&L and understand overhead buckets.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics.

In this 2023 episode of the podcast, we hear from Beeson alumnus Jeff Gissing, who talks about his work with Tyndale Publishing House and their philosophy for Bible acquisitions, publishing and marketing.

Tracking every KPI can feel productive, but it often creates noise and diffuses accountability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, ACT's co-host and practice coach, to explain why “tracking everything is the fastest way to improve nothing.”You'll learn how to narrow your focus to a small set of metrics that match your top quarterly priority, how to separate leadership-level monitoring from team-level focus, and what to do when a metric is off-track so it actually improves. Listen to Episode 1054 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysTrack data because feelings are not reliable indicators of what is happening in the practice.Too many KPIs create overwhelm, dilute accountability, and make it harder to prioritize action.Choose three to seven “main” KPIs each quarter that directly correlate to the practice's current priority.Leadership can monitor a broader scorecard, but the team should stay focused on the quarter's priority metrics.Practices that track everything often bounce between problems week to week without making measurable progress.When a focus metric is off-track, the team must issue-discuss-solve instead of only reporting the number.Assign clear ownership for collecting and reporting each KPI so the numbers stay visible and actionable.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Kickoff01:22 Meet Miranda Beeson02:00 Why Tracking Everything Fails03:20 Pick Few KPIs for Traction05:51 Data Rich Direction Poor07:52 What It Looks Like Done Right08:42 Choose Focus Metrics This Quarter10:47 Action Steps and Accountability13:17 Solve Off Track Metrics14:43 Wrap Up and Get HelpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

When PPO write-offs climb, adding more patients can increase stress while decreasing profitability. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, ACT's Director of Education, to unpack “the PPO trap” and explain why more patients can mean less money. You'll learn how to spot the effort gap, gather the right data before making insurance decisions, and shift the insurance mindset and language so your team can confidently support a more profitable model—whether that means going fully fee-for-service or reducing PPO exposure strategically. Listen to Episode 1047of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:More patients can increase production but still reduce profit when write-offs and effort gap widen.Practices should make PPO decisions with data—not emotion—by analyzing write-offs, plan mix, production, and procedure impact.Going fee-for-service must match your business model and requires leadership, team alignment, and consistent communication.If you're not ready to go fully out-of-network, you can improve profitability by tracking write-offs per plan and participating selectively.Capacity matters: if you have holes in the schedule, it may not be the right time to drop plans aggressively.Teams must shift language from “coverage” to “benefits” and keep clinical recommendations separate from insurance limitations.Front office and team buy-in are critical, because inconsistent messaging and fear-based language will sabotage the transition.Snippets:00:00 More patients doesn't automatically mean more profit—and why the effort gap matters.04:59 How write-offs have grown after COVID, including practices seeing 30–55%+.10:18 Why going fee-for-service isn't just an insurance decision—it's a business model and leadership decision.14:22 The key data to review before dropping a plan (patients, production, write-offs, procedures, attrition tolerance).18:40 How to participate strategically: track write-offs per plan, evaluate plan impact, and consider fee negotiation.22:29 How to identify “poor fit” plans and include admin team friction (appeals, phone time, denials) in the decision.28:05 The mindset shift: insurance as a benefit, not coverage—and why insurance shouldn't drive diagnosis.31:53 Language that protects the health recommendation and reduces insurance-driven conversations.36:48 How to answer “Do you take my insurance?” without undermining value or confidence.38:10 First steps: confirm you bill full fees, know true write-offs, and clarify your practice model direction.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Do you ever catch yourself thinking, “Why am I even doing this?” When dentistry becomes all noise—production goals, staffing issues, and nonstop mental load—it's easy to lose your purpose and drift into burnout. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back practice coach Miranda Beeson to explain how reconnecting to service—without sacrificing yourself—restores energy, strengthens leadership, and makes the work meaningful again. You'll learn how service applies to patients, your team, your profession, and your community, plus practical ways to re-anchor your mindset through daily habits and better language around numbers. Listen to Episode 1043 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Dentistry is a helping profession, and burnout grows when purpose gets replaced by task-focus, noise, and transactional thinking.Service is not self-sacrifice; you have to protect boundaries and run a strong business to serve appropriately.When patients become “appointments” or “dollar signs,” fulfillment drops and emotional fatigue increases for both doctors and teams.Serving your team means creating an opportunity for financial stability, fulfillment, and development—not just expecting performance.Leadership is a mindset, not a title, and anyone can lead by showing up with an others-focused approach.Serving the profession and community through mentorship, study clubs, and giving back can restore meaning and re-energize seasoned dentists.Re-anchoring daily to purpose and gratitude helps reset mindset, improves team language around metrics, and supports healthier leadership.Snippets:00:00 Burnout And The Why01:23 Meet Coach Miranda03:02 Dentistry Noise Overload04:22 Service Fuels Purpose06:22 Serve Without Sacrifice09:06 When Service Gets Lost14:10 Serving Patients Deeply16:50 Serving Your Team20:52 Leadership Without Titles22:21 Serve Dentistry Community24:15 Community Service Mindset24:32 Mentorship Stories25:34 Giving Back Fuels Joy27:12 Keep the Fire Lit27:25 Margin and Mindsets29:07 Practical Reset Tips30:16 Purpose in Huddles31:41 Gratitude Over the Gap33:38 Reframing Numbers as Care35:03 Accountability and the Right People37:14 Final Takeaways on Service41:28 Core Purpose and Resources42:41 Podcast FarewellGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Dean Douglas Sweeney talks with Beeson alumna Hannah Attaway, senior pastor of Woodland Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tennessee.

Most practices spend thousands each month on supplies but still don't have a documented ordering system—so spending becomes reactive, inconsistent, and hard to control. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with co-host Miranda Beeson, Director of Education at ACT Dental, about what a GPO (group purchasing organization) is, where it fits in your ordering system, and how to combine budgets, accountability, and a repeatable process to stabilize supply costs and improve profitability over time—Listen to Episode 1032 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A GPO (group purchasing organization) leverages collective buying power to secure better pricing than a single practice can typically negotiate alone.Most offices don't have a documented ordering system, which leads to reactive ordering habits and fluctuating supply percentages month to month.A defined ordering system should clearly outline what it is, why it exists, who is accountable, who participates, when it happens, where it happens, and exactly how it's done.Supply ordering should be driven by a budget tied to collections (commonly targeting around 5%) so teams can measure performance and correct course.Accountability requires accounting, meaning practices need clear reporting and a way to review whether spending stayed on budget and why.Setting minimum/maximum inventory levels and approval guardrails reduces overstock, emergency purchases, and delays when the primary ordering person is unavailable.A centralized procurement platform can reduce decision fatigue, save time, and help teams compare options, track spend, and capture savings and rebates more consistently.Snippets:00:00 Intro01:00 Why the GPO conversation matters and where it fits in your ordering system.03:00 Why ordering must be system-driven, not habit-driven.06:00 Common “systems” that aren't systems (the whiteboard and the rep-driven order).09:00 The real dollar impact of small percentage swings in supply spend.12:00 What a complete ordering system should include (what, why, who, when, where, how).15:00 Why supply ordering must start with a collections-based budget.19:00 What a GPO is and how group buying power works.24:00 How a procurement platform can include supplies, labs, savings, and rebates.26:00 Why saving time matters as much as saving money in ordering.30:00 Final recap: intentionality, consistency, visibility, and long-term profitability.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience. She is enthusiastic about communication and loves helping others find the power that words can bring to their patient interactions and practice dynamics. As a Lead Practice Coach, she is driven to create opportunities to find value in experiences and cultivate new approaches.Miranda graduated from Old Dominion University, and enjoys spending time with her husband, Chuck, and her children, Trent, Mallory, and Cassidy.

Do you ever feel like your team is technically doing their jobs—but they're not pulling in the same direction, and performance still falls short? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Miranda Beeson, ACT's co-host and practice coach, about how to shift a practice from “working with each other” to “working for each other.”You'll learn how a “me” mindset creates invisible walls, why vulnerability-based trust changes accountability and communication, and how leaders build clarity, consistency, and connection to create a true “we” culture. Listen to Episode 1031 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A team can have high individual performers and still underachieve if people are playing for themselves instead of for each other.A “me” mindset shows up as guarded communication, weak collaboration, reduced trust, and decreased accountability.Shifting to a “we” mindset starts by replacing “that's not my job” thinking with “how can I help the team succeed today?”Vulnerability-based trust creates psychological safety where people admit mistakes, ask for help, and assume positive intent.Leaders must model the behavior first by owning mistakes, asking for help, and consistently reinforcing expectations.Team building matters because time together outside the daily pressure helps people connect as humans and lowers defenses.Culture is shaped intentionally through clarity, consistency, and connection—and unintentionally through defensiveness, favoritism, avoidance, and hierarchy.Snippets:00:00 Intro02:25 The volleyball story that sparked the “with each other vs. for each other” framework.04:00 How “I did my job” thinking limits team performance.10:00 A practical example of “me mindset” vs. “team player mindset” during a handoff and ringing phone.13:00 Predictive trust vs. vulnerability-based trust in a dental practice.16:45 Why team building and bonding help teams lower their guard.23:00 Using purpose and process mapping to show how every role impacts the patient experience.27:00 Clarity, consistency, and connection as leadership habits that shape culture.34:00 A simple next step to start building “for each other” behavior in your next team meeting.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Case acceptance slows down when patients don't fully trust the diagnosis or understand the outcomes they're buying—not just the treatment they're paying for. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Miranda Beason, ACT's Director of Education, about why low case acceptance is often a trust problem and how to fix it with better value communication, co-discovery, and consistent team language. You'll learn what it looks like when practices get case acceptance wrong, what “right” looks like in real conversations, and the specific behaviors and tools that move patients from “let me think about it” to scheduling before they leave. Listen to Episode 1027 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Low case acceptance is rarely about price alone and is often rooted in missing trust and value creation.Patient acceptance percentage can look strong even when dollar amount acceptance shows weak commitment to comprehensive care.When practices miss trust-building, patients leave without scheduling, say “let me think about it,” and large plans sit in unscheduled treatment reports.Inconsistent case acceptance between providers often reflects differences in how clearly outcomes, value, and trust are communicated.When teams build trust well, patients ask curious questions, prioritize recommended care, and accept comprehensive plans at higher rates.Co-discovery and co-diagnosis help patients participate in understanding their condition and choosing solutions, which increases trust and commitment.Visuals like intraoral photos and properly oriented radiographs help patients see what you see and reduce confusion during treatment discussions.Snippets:00:00 Metric Monday Kickoff01:55 Why Trust Drives Acceptance04:19 Signs Youre Getting It Wrong05:48 Patient vs Dollar Acceptance07:39 Accountability and Assistants10:05 What It Looks Like Right13:13 How to Improve Today15:01 Tools Visuals and Language16:37 Resources and Wrap UpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Miranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.
