EPISODE QUOTES

“Retention is the ultimate win-win-win.” (03:01)

“Having a remarkable retention practice is the highest integrity thing you can do.” (05:09)

“The average person that started care with us stayed for over three hundred visits during their lifetime. Think about that – not twelve – three hundred. So we’re doing something right.” (10:38)

“A person who goes inactive is simply somebody who has decided to not follow your recommendations for care. Make this black and white guys because remember, you’re a CEO and you have a team of people. You cannot leave room for interpretation. This is a black and white number.” (13:03)

“What retention is is the ability to identify where in the process do people stop being committed to what they have agreed to – to what the expectations are that have been laid out – where does that happen?” (17:51)

“Remember gang, it’s so critically important that we own these numbers, that we as the doctor, as the owner, as the CEO, we have visibility into these numbers.” (22:44)
