  <title>CBP 311: The Costly Retention Mistake Most Practice Owners Overlook</title>
  <description>Most practice owners assume that if they want to grow, they need more leads. More referrals. More website traffic. More ads. More people calling the clinic. Sometimes that's true.&amp;amp;nbsp; But after coaching more than 1,000 Cash-Based practice owners over the years, I've found that most practices actually have a much bigger and more costly problem with conversion and retention, than they do with lead generation. This episode is a perfect example of that distinction, and how fixing customer retention can unveil that you can keep a wonderfully full schedule of cash-pay patients with your current lead flow..&amp;amp;nbsp; One of my Mastermind and Forum members recently shared a huge win. Her pelvic health therapist was averaging just 3.7 visits per plan of care. Patients were dropping off long before they received the full benefit of care, and the clinic was constantly forced to replace those patients with new ones.&amp;amp;nbsp; After implementing a few key changes, that number increased to more than 10 visits per evaluation, creating a dramatic improvement in patient outcomes, schedule utilization, revenue, and profit per patient.
