Growing a Dental Practice Starts Inside Out | Marketing Episode PART3
Most dental practices blame marketing for low patient flow, but the real problem is an internal one - "How to audit and fix your front office conversion leakage!" Mike Dinsio and Paula Quinn sit down with Guido Tebano, CMO of Market My Market, to explore the #1 thing nobody is paying attention to: What happens inside your practice when a lead calls.
This is part 3 of a marketing deep dive revealing why office execution (not just lead generation) determines your practice growth and profitability.What you'll discover in this episode:
• Why most dental offices lose 70% of incoming leads before they ever schedule
• The art of phone answering and why it's the highest-ROI skill in your practice
• How to identify your best phone closer and strategically route calls to them • Why tracking call metrics exposes the real bottleneck (front office vs. marketing vs. dentist)
• The customer service failures that kill conversions (and how to build a playbook to fix them)
• How AI and call recording can pinpoint exactly where callers drop off
• Why patient experience starts at "hello"—and how tone of voice impacts case acceptance
Perfect for practice owners scaling to $1.5M+, startup dentists optimizing their front office, and anyone frustrated with marketing ROI who hasn't measured their internal conversion rate.
