If you want to double your clinic revenue then focusing on these 3 call tracking metrics will help without spending a time more on marketing.
When I was running clinics, I had no idea how my front desk was doing on the phones. Until one day I started using call tracking and was shocked at what I was seeing
My front desk was only booking 60% of phone calls and only answering 70% of calls. At the time I was spending over $57,000/month on Google and Facebook.
So I thought my marketing wasn’t working. Until I found out my marketing was working I just didn’t have these 3 call tracking metrics dialed in.
I thought to myself, why am I spending all of this money on marketing when we're only answering 70% calls?
I was getting 1,000 phone calls a month at one of my clinics but only answering 700. Which means 300 calls were being missed every single month.
That’s when I started focusing on improving my call metrics by giving my staff proven phone scripts and setting targets for them to hit. After doing this we were able to take our answer rate to 95% and booking rate from 60% to 80% which is huge.
Here’s why.
1. Answer Rate
Before call tracking for every $1000 I would spend on advertising I would get 20 new patient phone calls.
We only answered 70% of them so 14.
And only booked 60% of those which is 8.
Our cost per new patient was $125.
Then we started really focusing on getting our answering and booking rate up by deploying proven phone scripts. Setting targets for our front desk to hit and measuring them.

Now for every $1,000 we spend on advertising we would get the same 20 new patient phone calls.
But instead of only answering 14 of those we would answer 19 (95%).
2. Booking Rate
And instead of booking only 8 of those we would book 15 (80%)
Now our cost per new patient was only $67. Half the cost to acquire a patient!
This small shift allowed us to grow our clinic to $83/million with 127 Physio and Chiro clinics.
3. Win Back Rate
Now the 3rd call tracking metric you need to focus on is win backs. You see, you can winback up to 40% of those who said I’ll call you back or didn’t leave a voicemail by using a proven win script I’ll give you in a second. Win backs are low hanging fruit and an easy way to get more patients.

But most clinics leave a lot of money on table by not doing winbacks which can set you apart from everyone else.
Here’s a proven win back script you can use to win back patients as soon as tomorrow.
In fact, we hear over and over again how shocked our client’s callers are when they deploy this win back script. But not only that when they call patients they really appreciate that they followed up even those they didn’t win back.
So if you can increase each one of these metrics you can get even more new patients without spending a dime more on marketing. Then once you have these call tracking metrics dialed in you can spend more on advertising and get a much better ROI.
Here’s a webinar I did where I went deep on these 3 call tracking metrics.
