In this high-vibrational episode of Deepen with Christina, host Christina Weber is joined by body therapist, breathwork facilitator, and gene keys guide Dina Maayan. Fresh off the heels of the latest WeDeepen Love Immersion, the duo breaks down the serious mechanics of play and why infusing absolute silliness into modern connection is the ultimate medicine for shifting out of psychological heaviness. Dina pulls back the curtain on her cosmic origin story with her fiancé (Acro Yoga founder Jason Nemer)—involving smuggled Hawaiian mangoes, a symbolic totem box, and a literal coconut tree climb—while mapping out how human beings can alchemize deep childhood panic attacks into modern nervous system mastery. Main Topics Covered Play as a Metric of Success: Reframing comedy, improv, and games like Truth or Dare as high-frequency portals to bypass the adult ego. The Anatomy of a Perfect Prank: Dina's step-by-step formula for cultivating social courage, engineering creative characters, and leveraging vocal accents. The Magic of "Squish": Defining the conscious community's favorite somatic environment: Tempur-Pedic foam, sheepskins, and white fuzzy blankets designed for deep co-regulation.

Giving is an Inside Job: Authentic community belonging is established the second you stop searching for validation and instead step into a room as an active additive of service. Nervous System Co-Regulation: Public figures and master facilitators are not immune to social anxiety or blanking out. True safety is a physical, non-verbal resonance shared in real-time between bodies. The Antidote to Trauma is Self-Trust: Holding your breath on empty or full retentions trains the psyche to handle physiological stress, rewriting your baseline relationship with fear.

Periodontal disease is common, but many dental practices still underdiagnose it, undertreat it, and perform difficult prophies that do not address the patient's condition. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Carlie Einarson, ACT Dental coach and former dental hygienist, about the hidden clinical and financial costs of low periodontal diagnosis, visit, and treatment acceptance percentages. You will learn how to evaluate these metrics, identify gaps in your periodontal process, improve patient communication, and create a consistent protocol across your team. To uncover missed treatment opportunities and help more patients achieve better health, listen to Episode 1075 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Perio visit percentage measures how many hygiene patients receive treatment associated with periodontal codes.A low perio diagnostic percentage may indicate that periodontal disease is being missed or inconsistently documented.A low perio visit percentage may indicate that diagnosed treatment opportunities are being left untreated.A low perio acceptance percentage may reflect unclear communication about the condition, recommended therapy, and value of treatment.Every adult patient should receive a consistent periodontal evaluation that includes appropriate radiographs, probing measurements, bleeding documentation, and clinical findings.Hygienists and dentists should help patients co-discover periodontal disease instead of only telling them what treatment they need.Chart audits and a shared periodontal protocol can help providers diagnose, document, and recommend treatment consistently.Episode Chapters:00:00 The hidden cost of underdiagnosed periodontal disease.01:37 The purpose of Metric Mondays.02:30 The three periodontal metrics practices should monitor.04:18 How improving periodontal treatment affects the rest of the practice.06:08 What an underperforming periodontal program looks like.07:37 What low diagnostic, visit, and acceptance percentages reveal.09:00 Why periodontal metrics are leading indicators of practice health.10:11 What practices do differently when they get periodontal care right.11:01 Helping patients understand periodontal disease through co-discovery.12:00 Why “gum infection therapy” communicates more value than “deep cleaning.”13:15 The importance of a consistent periodontal protocol.14:08 How to review periodontal metrics and conduct chart audits.15:44 ACT Dental's periodontal protocol resources and coaching support.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Carlie Einarson is a lead practice coach who has a passion for helping others succeed in the dental field.

Motivation disappears the moment the work gets difficult. Discipline keeps you moving anyway. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why motivation is too unreliable to build a successful business and why disciplined execution is the only metric that truly matters. Feelings change. Standards should not. The entrepreneurs who win are not always the most inspired. They are the ones who follow the process, complete the checklist, and execute regardless of their mood. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why relying on motivation destroys consistency• How systems and standard operating procedures remove emotion from execution• Why the hardest days build the strongest entrepreneurs• How discipline creates the consistency required to scale The truth is simple: Amateurs wait until they feel ready. Professionals go to work. Stop analyzing your emotions. Follow the system. Execute the plan. Discipline dictates your destiny. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

AI content collapses the gap between passable and genuinely valuable. David Ebner, President and Founder of Content Workshop and Chatter, applies 13 years of enterprise brand storytelling across scrutinized YMYL verticals like cybersecurity to help teams differentiate at scale. The conversation covers building brand story around audience outcomes rather than founder origins, positioning human creativity as a deployable agent at multiple process gates instead of a single QA checkpoint, and shifting measurement away from sales-qualified leads toward trust-driven signals as traditional attribution paths fragment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

S6E9 Mark Ryski on why stores convert up to 70% of store traffic while online only converts 3% and Amazon only 10%77% of shoppers who walked out of a big box store without buying told exit interviewers they came in to buy. They couldn't find help, wouldn't wait in line, and left empty-handed. Mark Ryski has spent almost 3 decades measuring that gap, and his new book gives it a name: Store Traffic Is A Gift, and most retailers waste it. This episode, Ricardo and Casey sit down with Mark Ryski, founder and CEO of HeadCount Corporation, to dig into retail's most misunderstood metric: in-store conversion. Physical stores convert 20% to 70%+ of their store traffic. Typical online sites convert under 3%, and Amazon converts about 10%. The store converts several times better than any other channel, yet 84% of retail sales (US Census Bureau, March 2026) still get managed as if online were winning, and in-store conversion gets treated as a vibe at the end of the day.In This Episode, You'll Learn•       Why a store can get more traffic and sell less, and what conversion data reveals.•       The exit survey result that changed a big box operator's mind about service.•       The single fastest conversion win, and why most chains schedule it backwards.•       How super converting stores hit 75% while sister stores in the same chain sit at 30%.•       The CFO conversation: what 100 basis points of conversion is worth in top-line sales.•       What BOPIS, curbside, and Amazon returns really do to store traffic and conversion.•       Why accurate store traffic data is the demand signal AI needs before anything else.Subscribe & FollowIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5‑star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Goodpods. Subscribe on YouTube so you never miss an episode and check out the other shows in the Retail Razor Podcast Network: Retail Transformers, Blade to Greatness, and Data Blades.Subscribe to the Retail Razor Podcast Network: https://retailrazor.com/Subscribe to our Newsletter: https://retailrazor.substack.comSubscribe to our YouTube channel: https://go.retailrazor.com/utubeFeatured guestMark Ryski. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-ryski-8826601/CEO, HeadCount Corporation. https://headcount.comAuthor, Store Traffic Is A Gift. https://a.co/d/00VI3UujMark Ryski is the founder and CEO of HeadCount Corporation and one of the retail industry's leading authorities on store traffic and shopper conversion.

We break down the study findings and note that body composition, especially body fat percentage, and overall physical activity appear to be more important predictors of longevity than chasing VO2 max directly.We also compare VO2 max with other fitness metrics and say that focusing on one number can make people miss the habits that create it. We then shift to goal setting and explain that performance goals like improving a mile time or a back squat are often more motivating than aiming only at fat loss or a scale target. We finish with updates on the app, including testing on Apple and Android, and mention our upcoming appearance at Home Gym Con. We also note that athletes are already using the app and giving feedback.

When insurance drives patient conversations, treatment decisions can shift away from health needs and toward coverage limits. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Carlie Einarson, dental practice coach, about changing the way teams discuss insurance, treatment, and patient value. You will learn how insurance-first language affects trust and profitability, which metrics reveal the financial impact of PPO participation, and how to lead with relationships and clinical recommendations instead of benefits. To help patients choose your practice for the care you provide rather than your participation on an insurance list, listen to Episode 1072 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Insurance-centered conversations can cause patients to base treatment decisions on coverage rather than their health needs.Repeatedly mentioning insurance trains patients to view it as the primary decision-maker.PPO adjustments create an effort gap between a practice's full fee and the amount it ultimately collects.Teams should explain the patient's condition, recommended treatment, and value of care before discussing benefits.Insurance should be positioned as a benefit that may contribute toward treatment rather than determine treatment.Practices need to track their adjustment and write-off percentages before making informed decisions about PPO participation.Relationship-based conversations help patients choose a practice because they trust the team and the care it provides.Snippets:00:00 When insurance drives the conversation, value gets lost.01:19 Introduction to Metric Mondays and Carlie Einarson.02:32 Why insurance-centered conversations affect treatment decisions.03:37 How practices unintentionally create insurance-focused patients.04:15 Signs that insurance is driving conversations in the practice.05:43 How PPO write-offs create an effort gap.07:25 A relationship-based response to insurance questions.09:07 What insurance conversations look like when a practice gets them right.10:44 Track adjustments, write-offs, and the practice's effort gap.11:16 Why trust and value should guide patient decisions.13:33 Questions teams can ask to evaluate insurance-focused language.15:09 Create value before discussing price or benefits.15:47 Share the episode with the team and discuss a different approach.Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Carlie Einarson is a lead practice coach who has a passion for helping others succeed in the dental field.

We asked 28 marketers what single change in their ad account made the biggest difference — and nobody put creative at the top. What came back instead was account structure, cost caps, better data, and one answer that stopped us cold: doing nothing at all. This episode breaks down the nine cognitive biases quietly running the average media buyer's decisions, from action bias to the expert's curse. We get into why excluding past purchasers dropped one brand's new customer CPA by 40% overnight, why "data-driven" has become a red flag on a resume, and why the last 20% of Meta optimization is worth less than the first 20% of your landing page. If you manage ad accounts, hire people who do, or spend your Sundays reorganizing campaigns you shouldn't be touching, this one's for you. ⚡ IN THIS EPISODE → Why excluding past purchasers dropped NCPA by 40% instantly → The two years an account crushed because nobody touched it → Why 85% optimized and understandable beats 100% optimized and muddy → "Data aware, human obsessed" — the hiring filter that should replace "data-driven" → Why measuring by product collection, not by ad, makes diagnosis ten times faster → The case for ignoring your weaknesses entirely and doubling down on strengths ⏱ TIMESTAMPS 00:00 The no-phone morning walk that fixed our brains 01:20 The Twitter question that broke everyone's assumptions 02:30 A 40% drop in new customer CPA from one mechanical exclusion 03:45 What 28 marketers actually said — and why creative never made the list 05:50 Action bias: why you can't stop touching the account 06:45 "I haven't touched it in three weeks. Why would I?" 08:45 Illusion of control, and whether we should just let Meta cook 11:15 Complexity bias: one CBO campaign, one ad set, two record years 14:30 Metric fixation and the streetlight effect 18:20 Why "data-driven marketer" is a red flag on a resume 21:20 Managing by collection instead of by ad 23:00 The ad account is now a glorified folder system 24:30 Expert's curse: why 70 failed video ads should have been a signal 28:35 There's 100% more to gain outside the ad account than inside it 30:50 The self-serving spotlight — nobody wins an account alone 33:20 "Greed will kill your business faster than anything"

Metric is a band from Canada that was formed in 1998. They've won four Juno Awards, including Group of the Year. Rolling Stone included them in their list of the 50 Greatest Canadian Artists of All Time. In April 2026, Metric released their 10th album, Romanticize the Dive. And for this episode, I spoke to Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw about how they made the opening song on that album, “Victim of Luck.”For more info, visit songexploder.net/metric.

What is a lead actually worth to your farm business? Most farmers know how many email subscribers they have. Far fewer know what those subscribers are actually worth. And that can lead to some very bad marketing decisions. In this episode, I introduce a simple metric called Earnings Per Lead (EPL) that helps you measure the value of the people entering your world -- i.e. whether they came from a Facebook ad, a farmers market, a farm tour, a referral, or a lead magnet. You'll learn how to calculate EPL, why it's different from Cost Per Lead, and how it can help you decide which marketing activities deserve more of your time, money, and attention. In this episode, we'll discuss: What Earnings Per Lead (EPL) is and why it matters Why Cost Per Lead can be misleading How to calculate EPL using a simple formula How to track the value of different lead sources Why some leads are far more valuable than others Real-world examples from CSA farms, meat producers, flower farms, and online stores How EPL can help you make smarter marketing decisions If you've ever wondered whether your lead magnets, email list growth efforts, farm tours, or Facebook ads are actually producing customers, this episode will give you a new way to look at your marketing.

Static websites can't serve buyers who arrive already researched by AI. Anda Gansca, Co-Founder and CEO of Knotch, explains why LLM visibility metrics mislead marketers and what websites must become when agents and humans need separate experiences. She breaks down content atomization—structuring knowledge into semantically tagged "Lego blocks" that serve agents as invisible code and humans as dynamic, self-directed experiences. The conversation covers why 80% of LLM-referred visitors bounce, how to build a hidden agent layer beneath an experiential human interface, and why the website is now a validation and nurture tool, not a top-of-funnel research hub.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you're making budget decisions based on how each channel looks on its own, you're working with an incomplete picture. Daniel breaks down why blended CAC should be the number your whole operation runs against. Blended CAC is your total marketing spend divided by total customers acquired across every channel. It gives you room to invest in longer-term channels without panicking when one silo looks off, and it stops you from killing channels that are quietly lifting conversions everywhere else. Jay admits he runs everything in silos, channel by channel, and uses that to shift budget toward whatever's performing. Daniel pushes back: you need both. The blended number is your north star. The silos are your diagnostic tool. When blended CAC starts creeping up, that's when you go channel by channel to figure out what's wrong. The bigger idea: attribution will always make some channels look better than they are. Blended CAC cuts through that and shows you the real cost of growing your business. If you want a smarter way to manage your Marketing budget, this is the episode for YOU.

Sharing numbers with the team can feel difficult for dentists who worry that data will seem cold, corporate, or disconnected from patient care. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Miranda Beeson, dental hygienist and coach, to explain why sharing metrics feels so hard and how to make those conversations productive, consistent, and patient-centered.You will learn how to connect KPIs to patient outcomes, reduce defensiveness around data, and help your team understand how their roles affect the health of the practice and the patients you serve. To learn how to make metrics a healthier part of your leadership, listen to Episode 1069 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysDentists often struggle more with managing and leading people than with the clinical side of dentistry.Data conversations become difficult when the team only hears about numbers during problems or emergencies.Metrics feel cold when leaders discuss production and collections without connecting them to patient care.Reappointment percentage reflects whether patients are staying on track with preventive care.Treatment acceptance shows whether patients understand the value of recommended care and are moving forward with treatment they want or need.Perio visit percentage helps teams see whether they are proactively addressing periodontal disease.Leaders can make data easier to discuss by explaining what each metric measures, what systems affect it, and how improvement benefits the patient experience.Snippets:00:00 Intro01:13 Meet Miranda Beeson02:27 Miranda explains why many practice owners hesitate to share data.05:27 What happens when practices do not review numbers with the team.06:52 Why KPI reporting can feel like it is only about making more money.10:22 What it looks like when leaders introduce KPIs well.11:10 KPI Examples That Matter14:34 Kirk discusses the compounding effect of stronger perio visit percentages.15:56 Miranda explains why leaders must set the tone around data.16:14 Miranda introduces resources for connecting metrics to patient experience.19:06 Kirk closes by encouraging leaders to share numbers in a way that helps the team and patients.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.

The primary source introduces an ethics-by-design architecture that embeds philosophical reasoning into AI development pipelines using a formalized triple-gate structure. This framework implements Metric, Governance, and Eco gates at every stage of the lifecycle to enforce quantitative safety, legal compliance, and environmental sustainability through carbon and water budgets. A secondary source discusses the rise of neuromorphic computing, highlighting how these brain-inspired chips offer a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional GPUs for edge AI applications. Together, these texts emphasize a shift toward responsible AI governance that prioritizes measurable accountability and ecological impact alongside technical performance. By merging moral philosophy with engineering controls, the proposed framework seeks to prevent ethical failures from propagating throughout emerging AI paradigms.

Most people measure their financial lives by the wrong numbers. Income. Net worth. Debt. Credit score. Those numbers tell you where you are—but they don't tell you whether you're actually moving toward financial freedom. In this solo episode of Worth with Pete the Planner, Pete revisits one of his favorite financial concepts: Power Percentage. Created years ago to answer the question, "Am I doing okay?", Power Percentage measures something far more important than wealth—it measures behavior. Pete explains why two people with identical incomes can have completely different financial futures, why net worth can be misleading, and why the habits behind your money matter more than the money itself. If you've ever wondered whether you're really making progress, this episode will give you a different scoreboard—and maybe a better way to think about your financial life. Because the goal isn't to look wealthy. It's to build freedom.

In this conversation, Adam reflects on lessons learned from Buddy Brumley, the Old Dawgs Community, and years of experience building projects in the field. Together, Felipe Engineer-Manriquez and Adam Hoots discuss why many Lean principles have existed for decades, why communication matters more than terminology, how curiosity transforms leadership, and why the best construction metrics often can't be found on a dashboard. Through stories about superintendents, project teams, jobsite toilets, production systems, and listening to craft workers, they show that construction improves when leaders genuinely care about the people doing the work. If you are a construction leader, superintendent, project manager, Lean coach, production engineer, owner, architect, trade partner, field engineer, scheduler, or anyone interested in building better teams and better projects, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, trust, and measuring project success.  

A full schedule can look productive while still falling short of a practice's financial goals. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Miranda Beeson, Director of Education at ACT Dental, about why busy days underperform and how production-per-day goals, schedule utilization, patient selection, and block scheduling create greater predictability. You will learn how to evaluate schedule quality, protect high-value clinical time, and help your administrative team make more intentional scheduling decisions. To build a full schedule that supports production, profitability, and a better workday, listen to Episode 1066 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:A full schedule can still underperform when appointments are not aligned with the practice's production goals.Production-per-day goals should be visible in the practice management software and understood by the entire team.Schedule utilization measures how much available clinical time is being used for patient care.Administrative team members should consider procedure value and patient reliability instead of filling every opening with the first available appointment.A and B patients create greater schedule stability because they are more likely to attend appointments and pay their balances.Block scheduling protects prime clinical time for higher-value treatment and creates more predictable daily production.An ideal day schedule should balance the owner's preferences, patient needs, and the practice's production goals.Snippets00:00 Intro01:31 Full schedules can still produce underperforming days.02:18 Why filling every opening does not guarantee productivity.03:13 The importance of production per day and schedule utilization.05:03 Working backward from annual goals to a daily production target.06:39 What an underperforming full schedule looks like.08:13 Why practices should replace like with like when appointments change.10:30 How intentional scheduling supports production goals.12:20 Protecting prime clinical time with block scheduling.13:00 Using the production figure in practice management software before scheduling an appointment.15:05 How comprehensive treatment blocks can create peaceful, productive days.17:06 Displaying production-per-day goals in the practice management software.17:46 Building an ideal day schedule for greater consistency.19:03 The ideal day scheduling guide in the ACT Dental community hub.Guest Bio/Guest ResourcesMiranda Beeson has over 25 years of clinical dental hygiene, front office, practice administration, and speaking experience.

What if the most important number in finance isn't revenue or net income, but the cash that's left over after a business pays for its own survival?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we break down free cash flow (FCF) and why it is one of the most important metrics in corporate finance, valuation, investing, and financial analysis. While headlines focus on revenue growth and earnings beats, free cash flow reveals whether a company is actually generating real economic value or simply producing attractive accounting results.Using real-world examples from Microsoft, Adobe, Costco, and AMC Entertainment, we explore how companies can report strong earnings while quietly burning cash, and why free cash flow often provides a clearer picture of financial health than net income alone.

In Part 1 of our Demand series, Before We Talk About Ticket Prices, Let's Talk About Demand, we explored what creates demand in the first place. Now comes the fun part. Once demand exists, how do you actually manage it?The team begins with one metric most organizations overlook: per capita revenue. More than almost any other number, it reveals how audiences are valuing an event and whether demand is strengthening, stagnating, or slipping away. The trend matters more than the number itself, making it one of the earliest indicators of where revenue opportunities exist.From there, the conversation gets practical, moving to scale plans, pricing structures, and the patterns hidden inside a seating map. Why do some houses fill in ways that leave money on the table? Why can a declining average ticket price signal a problem? And why does dynamic pricing work best? Get your foundation solid, then let pricing do its job.The episode closes with a challenge for leaders, and maybe the most freeing idea of all: you don't have to chase every show equally. The TRG team makes a simple case for putting your oxygen mask on first. Give your high-demand shows the attention they deserve, to earn every bit of revenue they can, and use that strength to support the rest.  Key Takeaways:Per capita revenue is one of the clearest indicators of audience demand.A smart scale plan comes first; dynamic pricing is the cherry on top, not the foundation."Little and often" pricing changes protect both your revenue and your loyal patrons.The right software frees your team to do what people do best: build relationships.Demand is a team sport; run it through weekly revenue pacing meetings to identify and respond to signals early.

EP01 - Reap Rewards from Repeat Revenue ### About the Guest(s) I'm Sarah Thomson, your host here to guide you through the ups and downs of digital business. With years of experience in marketing and business growth, I've navigated countless metrics and strategies. In this episode, I'll be breaking down the essential metric that can transform your business success. ### Episode Summary In this episode of The Digital Queens Podcast, we delve into understanding the one metric that can transform your business: the customer lifetime value (CLV). While many entrepreneurs focus on metrics like followers, open rates, or sales without context, it's the repeat customer revenue that truly indicates business health. I discuss the misleading nature of vanity metrics and highlight how sustainable growth comes from nurturing existing customers. Join me as I guide you through calculating and appreciating the importance of CLV. Understand that tracking how much value your repeat customers bring vs. acquiring new ones is key to long-term stability and growth. Let's ditch the vanity stats and play the long game for lasting success! ### Key Takeaways 1. Customer Lifetime Value trumps other metrics. 2. Repeat customers signify business health. 3. High CLV means lower marketing costs. 4. Focus on improving customer experience. 5. Track CLV monthly for informed strategies. ### Notable Quotes 1. "Followers don't equal customers—it's a vanity number." 2. "Sustainable growth comes from repeat customers." 3. "Ask why customers aren't coming back, not how to get more." 4. "Your repeat customer revenue is your business' health check." 5. "Obsessing over CLV guides better business decisions."

Production gaps are often blamed on low case acceptance or insufficient diagnosis, but the real issue may begin with how the schedule is structured, protected, and maintained. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt talks with dental practice coach Ariel Siegel about identifying whether lost production begins in the schedule or the operatory. You will learn how reappointment systems, downtime monitoring, intentional scheduling, and future schedule protection can create more consistent production and smoother clinical days. To understand where production gaps begin and what your team can do about them, listen to Episode 1063 of The Best Practices Show!Main TakeawaysProduction problems may result from scheduling systems even when diagnosis and treatment acceptance remain strong.Constantly filling last-minute openings prevents administrative team members from completing other production-building activities.Filling schedule gaps with unsuitable appointments can disrupt the intended flow and energy of the clinical day.Strong reappointment systems help patients understand why they are returning and reduce future cancellations.Protecting the future schedule allows the team to maintain production goals and minimize bottlenecks.Monitoring doctor and hygiene downtime reveals both large openings and smaller gaps that accumulate throughout the day.Designing the schedule around provider energy and appointment type supports more consistent monthly production and revenue.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:19 Schedule vs Operatory02:20 Why Gaps Happen03:28 When It Goes Wrong04:26 Scramble Fill Trap06:51 Getting It Right07:57 Protect Future Schedule09:17 Design Around Energy10:07 Action Steps Today11:17 Resources and Wrap Up11:57 Final Thanks and OutroGuest 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.

Most dentists believe they need more new patients, but the real problem may be how well they are using the patients, providers, and chair time they already have. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings back Ariel Siegel, ACT Dental coach, to explain why active patient count, pre-appointment percentage, capacity utilization, and annual patient value matter before investing in new patient growth. Learn how to identify whether your practice has a patient problem or a utilization problem, and how to start improving schedule efficiency with the data you already have. To grow more predictably with the patients already in your practice, listen to Episode 1060 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Practices should evaluate utilization of current patients and provider capacity before pursuing more new patients.New patients can add pressure because phone calls, relationship building, and appointments require more time and energy.A healthy active patient count is often around 1,200 to 1,500 patients per provider.Unscheduled active patients and low pre-appointment rates reveal opportunities within the existing patient base.Chair time utilization around 90% to 95% creates productive schedules while leaving some flexibility.Annual patient value helps determine whether a practice needs more patients or better production per patient.Capacity tracking should be reviewed consistently so each provider column has accountability.Snippets:00:00 Metric Mondays Intro01:50 Meet Ariel Siegel02:14 More Patients Myth04:18 Active Patient Benchmarks08:07 When Utilization Fails10:33 Redefining Growth11:56 Capacity Utilization Targets14:36 Action Plan With APV18:06 Vision And Wrap Up18:33 Final GoodbyeGuest 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.
