Closing First Appointments
Many practices are under the assumption that a patient will simply book when they’d like to pursue treatment. The problem is, people don’t act like that. Prospective patients rarely ask all the questions they need to address their concerns.
The majority of patients will walk away, thinking, “Hey, I’ve got lots of time to think about this.” But then, life takes over.
