About this Episode

This week Kyle shares a conversation he had with a practice owner in the Midwest who stopped him mid-call and asked the question Kyle gets more than any other: "If this was your practice, what would you actually do first?" Kyle walks through the five things he'd do before spending a dollar on marketing. Call your own front desk like a new patient. Pull up your website on your phone and ask if you'd book. Read your reviews for patterns, not just star ratings. Ask your front desk what happens after a patient's first visit. And look at your numbers to see how many calls are coming in, how many are being answered and how many are converting to appointments. No fancy tools, no expensive strategies, just five things that cost nothing and take less than a week to evaluate.
