Why do smart marketing teams keep optimizing for the wrong things?In Part 1 of this Sharp Cut series, we explored Goodhart's Law — when a measure becomes a target, it stops being a good measure.But the real problem doesn't start on the marketing dashboard.It starts two floors above it.In this episode of The Sharp Cut, Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros trace the incentive problem all the way from the boardroom to the media buy, showing how the pressure to maximize shareholder value, hit revenue targets, and prove short-term ROI cascades through the organization — eventually shaping how marketing is measured.Drawing on insights from seven past Sleeping Barber guests, including Roger Martin, Peter Field, Avinash Kaushik, Dale Harrison, Herman Simon, Augustine Fou, and Koen Pauwels, this episode breaks down why marketing metrics often drift away from real business outcomes.We explore:Why shareholder value maximization may distort strategic decision-makingThe difference between revenue growth and real competitive growthHow efficiency metrics like ROI and ROAS can mislead organizationsWhy marketing dashboards are often 90% activity and only 10% outcomesWhy CPM may be one of the most dangerous metrics in media planningHow platform data quietly shapes the decisions marketers makeWhen incentives reward the wrong signals, even brilliant organizations can optimize themselves into decline.TakeawaysGoodheart's Law illustrates how metrics can become targets, leading to poor decision-making.Shareholder value maximization is a flawed approach that can harm long-term business health.Revenue growth does not equate to market growth; understanding this distinction is crucial.Short-term metrics can mislead organizations into making detrimental decisions.Effective marketing requires a balance between efficiency and effectiveness.Dashboards often reflect activity rather than meaningful outcomes, leading to misinterpretation of success.CPM is a dangerous metric that can create a false sense of accountability.Data reporting without context can lead to 'data puking' and poor decision-making.Organizations must evaluate whether their primary metrics truly reflect business health.Good measurement practices should focus on long-term outcomes rather than short-term gains.Chapters00:00 - Introduction to the Incentive Series01:00 - Understanding Goodheart's Law and Its Implications03:02 - The Shareholder Value Maximization Trap04:56 - Revenue vs. Growth: A Misunderstanding09:04 - The Dangers of Short-Term Metrics12:08 - The Role of Dashboards in Marketing Decisions14:59 - The Need for Better Measurement Practices

We help B2B brands launch shows that turn their point of view into pipeline. If you're launching a podcast (or have one already) and are not sure how it can hit your bottom line, book a meeting with Jason: https://meetings-eu1.hubspot.com/jason-bradwell/youtube-meeting-link Your download count is flattering you. And if you're pitching your podcast to a board on the back of it, you're building on sand. In this solo episode, Jason Bradwell calls out the most common measurement mistake in B2B podcasting and reveals the one metric that actually tells you whether your show is working. If you're running a podcast to drive pipeline rather than ego, this episode is essential listening. For most B2B businesses, downloads are a red herring. If your total addressable market is a few hundred or a few thousand companies, benchmarking your show against Joe Rogan or Diary of a CEO is not just meaningless -- it's actively misleading. The metric you should be tracking instead is Consumption Rate (on podcast platforms) or Watch Time (on YouTube). These tell you something far more important: how resonant your content actually is with the people who matter. Jason breaks down exactly where to find these figures in Apple, Spotify, and YouTube analytics, and makes the case that 100 listeners consuming 80% of your episode is worth considerably more than 10,000 who drop off after 60 seconds. For anyone building a business case internally to launch or continue a B2B show, this is the argument you need. Key Takeaways ◼️ Why downloads are a misleading success metric for the vast majority of B2B podcasts ◼️ How to use Consumption Rate to measure whether your show is actually resonating with buyers ◼️ Why 100 highly engaged listeners outperforms 10,000 passive ones in a B2B context ◼️ How to find Watch Time and Consumption Rate inside Apple, Spotify, and YouTube analytics ◼️ Why resonance over reach is the right frame when your total addressable market is finite ◼️ How to build a credible, data-backed business case for your podcast using a single metric Chapter Markers 00:00 Intro 00:30 Why downloads are the default metric for podcasts 01:30 The problem with downloads as a B2B success metric 02:20 Introducing Consumption Rate and Watch Time 03:00 Resonance vs. reach: which actually matters for B2B? 03:30 Where to find Consumption Rate in Apple, Spotify, and YouTube 04:00 The one metric to bring to your board What's Next If this episode made you question how you're currently measuring your show, it's time to dig into your analytics and find your Consumption Rate today. Share this episode with any founder or marketer who's still leading with download numbers in their next board update.

Do your numbers look good on paper, but the practice still feels heavy day-to-day? In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back ACT coach Ariel Siegel to explain why “busy” doesn't automatically mean “healthy,” and how the effort gap between gross production and net production creates exhaustion, tight cash flow, and a constant hamster-wheel feeling. You'll learn how to calculate your effort gap, translate it into an “energy quotient,” and start managing write-offs so your schedule is built around profitable dentistry—not just busy dentistry. Listen to Episode 1018 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Gross production can look successful while net production reveals whether the practice is actually healthy.The “effort gap” is the difference between what you produce and what you will realistically collect after adjustments and write-offs.When the effort gap is high, the team isn't lacking effort—it's performing dentistry that won't be collected, which creates the feeling of heaviness.You don't get paid on gross production, but you still pay overhead on gross production, which makes the gap more damaging as the practice grows.Converting the effort gap into “days worked for free” helps quantify how much time and energy is being donated to adjustments.Tracking both gross and net production allows you to see the effort being spent and the money actually retained, so you can make informed decisions.Breaking adjustments into categories (membership, elective discounts, and insurance by plan) creates transparency and shows exactly where to start improving.Snippets:00:00 Intro01:15 Why “numbers look good” can still feel heavy.02:15 The effort gap: gross production vs. net production.03:15 Why gross production is a false proxy in today's dentistry.04:20 You don't get paid on gross production, but you pay out on it.07:05 Bigger isn't always better: adjusted EBITDA and what a large practice is really worth.08:10 Turning the effort gap into an “energy quotient.”10:55 Track both gross and net production to manage effort and collections.12:10 How to calculate your effort gap using the last 12 months.13:20 Break adjustments into categories to find the biggest drivers.15:00 Clean reporting: track insurance adjustments by plan, not one bucket.16:40 The first step is finding where the heaviness is coming from.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Ariel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office. Her passion is to work with dental teams to empower team members to realize their full potential in order to better serve patients, improve office systems to ensure a well-functioning team/office, and to help everyone have fun in the process!More Helpful Links for a Better Practice & a Better Life:The Best Practices Show: https://www.actdental.com/podcast/Best Practices Association: https://www.actdental.com/bpaUpcoming Events & Workshops: https://www.actdental.com/events/Smile Source: https://www.smilesource.com/Subscribe on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.comSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com

Thanks to our partners Promotive and Wicked FileWould you swap out wiper blades for $500? Probably yes. Would you replace an entire engine for $500? Absolutely not. But here's the real question: what if the math behind why you said yes to one and no to the other is the same math that's silently costing your shop thousands of dollars every month? IIn this episode, Hunt Demarest breaks down one of the most powerful and most overlooked metrics in the auto repair business: gross profit dollars per hour sold.Most shop owners track sales, gross profit, and hours. But very few ask the one question that ties them all together: how fast are you making that money? Inspired by the late Aaron Stokes of Shop Fix Academy, Hunt makes the case that the speed of your profitability, not just the size of it, is what separates thriving shops from ones that are always busy but never ahead.Hunt walks through real examples that make this impossible to ignore — including why tire shops with terrible margins can still be wildly profitable, and how a $40 cabin air filter can outperform a $600 water pump job. Whether you're setting targets, pricing jobs, or wondering why a record sales month still left you short, this is the framework that explains it. And if you're already using Tekmetric or Shop-Ware, this metric is likely already on your end-of-day report; it's time to start using it.

Today's episode of the Punk CX podcast features Justin Robbins, Founder & Principal Analyst at Metric Sherpa, Inc and a newly minted author. Justin joins me to talk about his new book called: More Than A Motto: Reignite Your Purpose, Rediscover Your Joy At Work. We discuss the highlights from the book, including the leadership blind spot, that burnout is a system outcome, not a personal failure, why purpose breaks without rhythm, and the RHYTHM model. This interview follows on from my recent interview – The split personality disorder plaguing many brands – Interview with Ping Wu of Cresta – and is number 576 in the series of interviews with authors and business leaders who are doing great things, providing valuable insights, helping businesses innovate and delivering great service and experience to both their customers and their employees.

Many dentists track annual patient value (APV) but don't use it to make a clear decision about what kind of practice they want to build. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Miranda Beason, ACT's co-host and education leader, about what APV reveals about your business model, why it impacts stress and schedule design, and how to calculate it using your last 12 months of collections and active patient count.You'll learn what low versus high APV typically looks like in day-to-day operations, what changes when you start improving it, and the first step to take this week to decide whether your current model matches your vision—listen to Episode 1015 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysAPV is calculated by dividing the last 12 months of collections by your active patient count.APV is not just a number; it reflects the business model your practice is operating within.A low APV often correlates with a high-volume, low-margin practice that feels constantly busy and stressed.A higher APV allows a practice to rely on fewer patient visits while improving collections and protecting time.Write-offs and insurance contractual adjustments are major drivers of a lower APV and can limit profitability.Improving APV typically requires greater consistency in diagnosis, a strong periodontal protocol, and intentional scheduling strategy.The first step is awareness: calculate your APV and decide if it aligns with the type of practice you want to build.Snippets00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:24 Meet Miranda and The Big Question02:58 What Annual Patient Value Means05:11 How to Calculate APV06:51 Low APV Warning Signs09:01 High APV Benefits and Mindset Shift13:38 Real World Results and Freedom15:23 What to Do This Week17:27 Resources and Final Wrap UpGuest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Blizzard warnings outside, sonic weather systems inside. Matt and Sam pulled together twelve new tracks that cut through the February haze, from Bruce Springsteen's lightning-fast protest release to Charli XCX's orchestral, slow-burn elegance. The throughline is momentum—how artists old and new push ideas forward, whether by turning up the amps, sharpening the story, or stripping a feeling down to its essential parts.We start with the tradition of the protest song and how the modern pipeline lets Bruce write Friday, record Saturday, and shake feeds by Sunday. That urgency echoes across the mix: Moby and Jacob Lusk descend into winter stillness with a haunting piano rework, while Metric flips the phrase “victim of luck” into a catchy meditation on fortune's fallout. Foo Fighters slam back to a vintage roar, asking heavy questions with a grin, and Joe Jackson proves legacy doesn't mean nostalgic—his bright, narrative pop still lands clean.Midway, the energy pivots. Andrew Bird and Gavin Brivick give us a short, tender plea that lingers, then Young the Giant wrestle with belonging and the quiet art of not letting go. The Black Keys deliver a bluesy reminder that losses make the wins sweeter, and J. Cole sets 'Two Six' ablaze with tight imagery and shape-shifting flow. Charli XCX steps into cinematic mode for Wuthering Heights, weaving strings and restraint to let the emotion breathe.We close with memory and maintenance: Joyce Manor's snapshot of the bar that shaped a moment, and The New Pornographers' vow to keep the small flame alive—“my hands are cupped around a match.” If you're here for thoughtful lyrics, rock that punches, indie hooks, and a few gut-punch lines you'll carry all week, queue this one up and ride the arc with us.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/sam-february-2026-new-music/pl.u-0KJxH4oxbV1.

In this episode, Doug Larson, Dr. Mike Lane, and Coach Travis Mash sit down with Dr. Andrew Jagim, Director of Sports Medicine Research for the Mayo Clinic Health System, to talk about what actually works for building stronger, more resilient young athletes. Andrew shares how his applied research feeds directly back into real-world coaching, especially for under-resourced D3 athletes, and why the best youth training is simple, fast, and consistent. The group also trades notes on training their own kids: short sessions, minimal setup, and keeping things engaging so the habit sticks for life. They break down practical youth strength programming: unilateral work for stability (step-ups, lunges), basic patterns (kettlebell deadlifts, goblet squats, push-ups), and building hips/glutes to protect knees, especially for tall, fast-growing athletes where coordination and lever changes force constant "auto-regulation." A major theme is injury prevention without turning training into a grind: 15–25 minute workouts, circuits/supersets, park workouts with med balls and kettlebells, and even sneaky "commercial break" core work to keep kids moving while still letting them be kids. The conversation shifts into sports nutrition, body composition, and a more athlete-friendly way to talk about physique, Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI). Andrew explains how FFMI is calculated, what typical ranges look like for male and female athletes, and why it can be a more positive metric than body fat percentage, especially for female athletes where messaging can backfire. They close with a nuanced look at weight cutting in wrestling and combat sports: why massive cuts are physiologically brutal, how rules differ inside vs. outside the U.S., and why frequent dehydration (like in-season scholastic wrestling) is a completely different risk profile than occasional cuts with longer recovery windows.

Welcome to the WHOOP Research Series, where we breakdown into the extensive, scientific research conducted by the WHOOP Performance Science team. On this week's episode, WHOOP Global Head of Human Performance, Principal Scientist, Dr. Kristen Holmes sits down with WHOOP Senior Research Scientist Dr. Greg Grosicki to unpack the latest WHOOP Research Study on Heart Rate Variability Coefficient of Variation or HRV-CV. Using data from 21,000+ WHOOP members and 2 million nights of sleep, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki reveal why day-to-day stability in your HRV may matter more than the number itself. HRV-CV proves to outperform traditional metrics in detecting the real impact of alcohol, sleep consistency, and metabolic health, making it a great measure of healthspan. By looking deeper into the study, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Grosicki explains how HRV-CV can help you program your training smarter, improve your healthspan and build autonomic resilience. This episode unpacks how measuring HRV-CV isn't just about performance, but risk stratification and understanding your physiology over-time, not just day-to-day. (01:11) Intro To The Study: Why Is HRV-CV Important? (04:09) HRV-CV and Risk Stratification(08:28) Definition of HRV-CV(11:40) What HRV-CV Indicates in Athlete Recovery(14:26) Breaking Down The WHOOP Study(17:13) HRV-CV Trends in Shift Workers(21:21) Why Is HRV-CV an Important Biomarker?(25:18) HRV-CV Trends in Individuals on GLP-1 Medications(26:29) The Weather vs. The Climate: HRV vs. HRV-CV(33:41) The Results: Breaking Down the Data(36:37) How HRV-CV Responds to Certain Behaviors(39:38) Trends Between HRV-CV Between Age, Biological Sex, and Body Mass Index(49:54) How To Improve HRV-CV(56:39) New Research Roles and Opportunities at WHOOPReferences:American Journal of Physiology PublicationHRV-CV: The Key Metric for Lifestyle Consistency and StabilitySupport the showFollow WHOOP: Sign up for WHOOP Advanced Labs Trial WHOOP for Free www.whoop.com Instagram TikTok YouTube X Facebook LinkedIn Follow Will Ahmed: Instagram X LinkedIn Follow Kristen Holmes: Instagram LinkedIn Follow Emily Capodilupo: LinkedIn

Most practices have plenty of numbers but still feel unclear about what to work on next. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with Miranda Beason about why many dental practices don't have a data problem — they have a focus problem — and how to use quarterly priorities and the right metrics to create alignment, reduce chaos, and make steady progress toward annual goals. To learn how to set focus, choose what to measure, and lead your team with calmer, clearer direction, listen to Episode 1012 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysMore data does not create clarity unless the practice has clear priorities and a defined direction.Annual planning works best when it's translated into quarterly priorities that connect to day-to-day execution.When focus is missing, leadership often reacts to what feels urgent or “loud” instead of following a strategy.Practices build momentum when they choose two to four priorities for a 12-week quarter and measure progress consistently.Tracking fewer, quarter-specific metrics is more effective than maintaining a constant list of 30–40 KPIs.Weekly reporting improves a team's ability to make timely changes compared to waiting until the end of the month.Metrics gain traction when leaders clearly communicate the purpose, the team's role, and how the focus supports the patient experience.Snippets00:00 Metric Monday Kickoff: Data Doesn't Fix Everything01:57 Meet Miranda: Most Practices Have a Focus Problem02:40 Why Data Creates Alignment (and Removes Emotion)04:52 When You Get It Wrong: Chaos, Fires, and Moving Targets08:11 Real-World ‘Loud' Moments: Snow Days, Short Months & Panic09:44 When You Get It Right: Annual Goals → Quarterly Priorities13:06 Leading vs. Lagging Indicators: Staying Calm Under Pressure14:27 What You Can Do Today: Pick a Focus + Track the Right KPIs16:28 Report Weekly, Celebrate Wins, and Tie Metrics to Patient Experience17:47 Wrap-Up: Get Help, Stay Focused, and Build a Better PracticeGuest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Many dental practices feel surprised by their numbers at the end of the month, even when they review reports regularly. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt sits down with Miranda Beeson, leadership coach at ACT Dental, to explain the difference between leading and lagging indicators and why relying too heavily on historical data creates stress, reactivity, and missed opportunities. They break down how leading indicators connect daily behaviors to long-term results, how to spot problems earlier, and how to use data to lead calmly instead of reactively. If you want to understand which numbers actually help you influence outcomes before it's too late, listen to Episode 1009 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysLagging indicators show what has already happened in a practice and cannot be changed once reported.Leading indicators help predict future outcomes and guide daily and weekly behavior.Practices that focus only on lagging indicators often feel blindsided and become reactive under pressure.Tracking leading indicators weekly allows leaders to correct course before the end of the month.Hygiene reappointment, diagnostic percentage, and case acceptance are examples of leading indicators that influence production.Teams engage more effectively when they understand which daily actions influence practice results.Snippets00:52 Leading indicators versus lagging indicators and why both matter.02:28 Why lagging indicators create reactive leadership and team stress.03:50 Using hygiene metrics to predict future production.06:11 Planning ahead for known schedule disruptions like holidays.07:38 What it looks like when practices rely only on lagging indicators.09:42 How leadership changes when leading indicators are used correctly.11:39 Tracking diagnostic percentage and case acceptance week over week.14:47 A simple first step to start using leading indicators today.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

Did you know there is a metric influencing your sales right now that you're probably not tracking, reviewing, or even thinking about? The even crazier part is that ignoring it is actually costing you sales, momentum, and confidence. It's not conversion rates, lead volume, or revenue per offer. Today, we're talking about a metric almost no one is measuring, especially high-achieving business owners.

You're tracking applications. You're counting months. But what if the metrics everyone tells you to measure are actually making your job search harder and there's one crucial metric you're completely ignoring?In this video, I reveal why the numbers you're obsessing over might be sabotaging your results, and expose the counterintuitive metric that changed everything once I started paying attention to it. You'll discover what successful people are doing (whether they realize it or not), the paradox I struggled with for years, and why I landed job offers even when I had "absolutely no flipping idea" what the company did.Learn the skill above all others that will create results for you, how to know if you're taking aligned vs. misaligned action, and why your anxiety in the job search will follow you into the role unless you fix this now. If you're putting in massive effort but not seeing the outcomes you want, this is the missing piece.Watch the free 90-minute training that will shift how you feel about what's possible: https://www.asknataliefisher.com/why-you-re-not-landing-job-offersGet full show notes and more information here: https://www.asknataliefisher.com/episode-268

In today's Cloud Wars Minute, I examine why incremental growth matters more than sheer cloud size.Highlights00:02 — Made big changes atop the Cloud Wars Top 10 here at the beginning of 2026. Driven by trends in the financial results that the three biggest hyperscalers: Microsoft, Google Cloud, and AWS are reporting. There are changes taking place at the top among those companies, in terms of customer demand and the choices customers are making going forward into the AI Economy.00:48 — My big point here is that there is a metric, key growth metric, and in Q4 for the first time that I can recall, this key metric, both Google Cloud and AWS beat Microsoft in this. This hasn't happened that I can recall. The key here isn't so much about mass accumulated over the years, but about the growth and who customers are spending their money with now.01:42 — Microsoft Cloud revenue of $51.5 billion, up 26%. AWS, $35.6 billion up 24%. Google Cloud, $17.7 billion up a whopping 48%. Now look at the incremental Q4 over Q3 momentum. AWS up $2.6 billion. Google Cloud up $2.5 billion. Microsoft up $2.4 billion.03:13 — Google Cloud actually brought in more incremental revenue in Q4 versus Q3 and this is the first time I believe this has ever happened. Google Cloud's now has $70 billion on an annualized basis, not a little company by any means. In Q4 it grew 48% and it took more new business Q4 versus Q3 than Microsoft did.04:56 — Google Cloud almost matched what AWS did in incremental growth for Q4, and it beat Microsoft. That validates the position I took when I moved Google Cloud to number one on the Cloud Wars Top 10. These numbers reflect what customers are doing, where they're spending their money, who they're choosing, and who they're going with. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

Many dental leaders make decisions based on how the day feels instead of what the data shows. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt is joined by Miranda Beeson, ACT Dental coach and leadership advisor, to explain why leading from emotion creates reactive leadership and how metrics create clarity, consistency, and confidence for teams. You will learn how data removes emotion from decision-making, how to pause emotional reactions, and how to use key performance indicators to guide smarter conversations and actions. Listen to Episode 1006 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysLeading from feelings creates reactive decision-making and inconsistency for the team.Metrics reveal patterns over time and provide an objective truth that removes emotion from leadership conversations.Data-driven leadership allows teams to align around priorities and solve problems instead of chasing anxiety.Reviewing metrics consistently helps leaders respond thoughtfully rather than react emotionally.Sharing data weekly builds accountability and ownership across the entire team.Measuring and reporting on a focus area regularly accelerates improvement.Verifying emotional reactions with data builds trust and credibility as a leader.Snippets01:43 Why today's Metric Monday focuses on feelings versus data.02:18 How leading with data creates smarter leadership decisions.03:20 How personal bias disappears when data is introduced.04:38 What reactive leadership looks like in a dental practice.06:05 Why leading with feelings creates inconsistency for teams.07:42 How teams unify when data is shared consistently.08:45 Using weekly reporting to drive improvement.10:18 Pausing emotional reactions and verifying them with data.13:25 Asking which KPI confirms or challenges a feeling.14:50 Using capacity data to validate schedule concerns.15:45 Why coaches help remove emotional stories from leadership decisions.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

LinkedIn can feel pretty soulless right now, with endless AI-generated posts and very little that actually sticks. In this bonus episode, I chat with Cherie Clonan, founder and CEO of digital agency The Digital Picnic, about a different way to think about content that doesn’t chase reach or virality. We unpack her idea of return on intimacy, how she designs LinkedIn content across the funnel, why depth and resonance matter more than volume, and how she uses AI for idea generation and hooks without losing her human voice. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a simple lens to use the next time you’re wondering what to post and why. Cherie and I discuss: What return on intimacy really means and why it changes how you create content How top, middle, and bottom of funnel content works on LinkedIn Why being someone’s saved post or screenshot matters more than impressions How to measure sentiment and depth when performance metrics fall short Using AI for idea generation and hooks without sounding generic or soulless Key quotes “Return on intimacy is what I crave, not return on investment.” “Don’t ask how many people might see it. Ask whether someone would screenshot it.” Connect with Cherie Clonan on Instagram and LinkedIn and check out The Digital Picnic. My latest book The Health Habit is out now.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the aftermath of North Carolina's near collapse against Syracuse and how the Tar Heels face a 'metrics problem' heading into the first Duke game of the season. As Barnes discusses, Carolina's ultimate ranking for seeding purposes in the NCAA Tournament will come from the metrics, not the AP poll, and in losing a 32 point lead in the last ten minutes on Monday, Hubert Davis's team missed a chance to 'out-perform' the numbers. With Duke coming to two on Saturday night, a win becomes all the more important, not for just the fanbase, but for postseason positioning.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Marketing costs can easily drift without clear benchmarks, clear goals, or reliable data. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt continues the Metric Monday series with practice coach Ariel Siegel to break down marketing percentage as part of overall overhead. They explain what marketing percentage actually measures, why the benchmark matters, how internal and external marketing must align, and how to evaluate return on investment using real practice data. If you want to understand how much you should be spending on marketing and how to know whether it's working, listen to Episode 1003 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysMarketing percentage measures the total percentage of revenue spent on both internal and external marketing efforts.The general benchmark for marketing spend is around 3%, depending on whether a practice is in growth or maintenance mode.Effective marketing fuels new patient growth while also strengthening the practice brand.Internal marketing systems and patient experience must align with external marketing efforts.Tracking return on investment requires comparing marketing spend to new patient numbers and resulting production.High marketing spend without strong systems can result in poor conversions and wasted dollars.Snippets00:56 What marketing percentage measures01:44 The 3% benchmark and why it varies03:07 How marketing impacts new patient growth and branding04:22 Why more new patients is not always better06:52 Using ROI to evaluate marketing effectiveness08:12 How to respond when marketing percentage is too high10:03 Using call and conversion data to diagnose marketing performance11:34 Final Thoughts on Marketing StrategiesGuest Bio/Guest ResourcesAriel has a master's in healthcare administration and several years of dental experience in all aspects of the administrative roles within the dental office.

If you're still guessing how marketing is really performing, this episode will flip the switch. Spencer breaks down why Sales Qualified Leads (SQLs) are the most important metric you can track and the best leading indicator of future revenue. You'll learn how to clearly define an SQL, why it matters more than raw lead volume, and how tight communication between sales and marketing turns SQLs into better forecasting, smarter ad spend, and higher close rates. If you want fewer “junk leads” and more projects that actually fit your business, this is a must-listen.

In this episode, I sit down to talk about how retailers can take advantage of the current "attention world" we live in. I start by discussing the metrics that actually matter for retail, criticizing the industry's addiction to "silly reports" and subjective opinions, like brand lift studies. I argue that we are now in an era of Relevance Warfare and introduce the single most important metric for every retailer: Views Achieved. I dive deep into why your best organic creative is the key to winning with paid media and share my strong conviction that live social shopping, with platforms like Whatnot and TikTok Shop - is a colossal opportunity that too many are ignoring.You'll learn about:The biggest mistake Fortune 500 companies made in the last 20 years.Why brand loyalty is about to become more important than ever with AI.Why you need to shift your mindset from "Social Media" to "Interest Media".How to use your top-performing organic content for "Performance Selling".The profound, often underestimated, value of being on LinkedIn.My thoughts on AI influencers and how they will affect the market.

What if you're obsessing over the wrong number… and it's killing your returns?In this punchy, numbers-driven solo, Kenny Bedwell (founder, STR Insights) reveals the overlooked metric that separates the real STR winners from the wannabes: ARV (After Repair Value). He breaks down why focusing only on cash flow or gross revenue is the most common — and expensive — mistake investors make, especially as the market shifts in 2026 and beyond. Learn how the savviest investors lock in instant equity, create options, and bulletproof their portfolios… while everyone else chases hype.Don't wait.

James Check joins the show to analyze Bitcoin's market structure in early 2026. We discuss the divergence between BTC and equities, the impact of "extraordinary" ETFs, and why the Realized Cap suggests a cooling-off period. Plus, deep dives into quantum computing risks and on-chain data. James Check, Co-Founder of Check on Chain, joins us to talk about the current state of Bitcoin in 2026. James breaks down why Bitcoin decoupled from the wider market in late 2025, the massive sell-side pressure from long-term holders, and why on-chain metrics point to a bear market phase. We also explore the "extraordinary" nature of ETF flows, the quantum computing debate, and why gold and Bitcoin are ultimately the same trade. Subscribe to the newsletter!
