Ever been blindsided by a cancelation that just didn't make sense? This week we're sharing a raw, real story about a transaction that went sideways—only to come full circle weeks (and $15,000) later. In this episode, Alissa opens up about a recent experience with a buyer who backed out of a deal in the eleventh hour. What followed was a perfect storm of assumptions, zero communication, and a text message that dropped a cancelation bomb—with no phone call to discuss it first. We're diving deep into the best practices & etiquette for Real Estate Cancellations: when you should call (not text), how to manage your client's emotions, and what happens when professionalism goes out the window. Spoiler alert: it cost the buyer way more than they expected. This is your podcast therapy session and masterclass in cancelation communication all rolled into one. Because y'all, some deals really *can* be saved—with the right conversation. Here's what we chat about in this episode: - The shocking cancelation that inspired this story   - Stats on how often cancelations are happening (hint: it's more than you think)   - What *should* happen before a cancelation is sent   - Why a simple phone call could have saved the deal   - Handling emotional clients and managing expectations   - What to disclose—and when   - How to exit gracefully and protect relationships for the long game   - What happened when the *same* buyer came back   - Tips for co-op agent professionalism in tricky transactions

Ever felt like your dental practice would finally take off if you could just get a few more new patients through the door? That seductive thought might be keeping you from discovering what's really holding your practice back.I learned this lesson the hard way. Two years into practice ownership, we were consistently seeing 75-90 new patients monthly with minimal marketing effort. The schedule was packed, production was strong, and colleagues were asking for my secrets. I genuinely believed I had mastered practice ownership—until I implemented dashboard software that revealed the harsh truth. Despite impressive production numbers, almost every other metric was failing. Patient retention was terrible. Case acceptance rates were dismal. Cancellations were rampant.What makes this trap so dangerous is how effectively new patients mask these problems. When you're constantly busy with new faces, you don't notice how many existing patients disappear through the back door. When demand for appointments is high, cancellations don't leave obvious holes in your schedule. When enough patients say "yes" to keep you busy, low case acceptance rates don't trigger alarms. But these hidden inefficiencies dramatically slow your practice's true growth potential.Once we addressed these fundamental issues, everything changed rapidly. We reached capacity faster, brought on associates sooner, and I reduced my clinical days while improving profitability. The math is clear: fixing retention keeps your marketing investments working longer; reducing cancellations frees your team from constant schedule shuffling; improving case acceptance lets you treat fewer patients while achieving better financial results. Rather than chasing more new patients to pour into a leaky bucket, focus first on plugging the holes—then watch how quickly your practice transforms when new patients become a growth accelerator rather than a band-aid covering deeper problems. Ready to discover what's really holding your practice back? Let's talk about creating systems that maximize what you already have.Take Control of Your Practice and Your Life We help dentists take more time off while making more money through systematization, team empowerment, and creating leadership teams.
