In this episode, host Gary Bird breaks down one of the biggest challenges in dental marketing: how many leads it actually takes to get one new patient through the door. Dentists often get flooded with “leads” from marketing companies but struggle to see real growth in new patient numbers. Gary shares a free dental marketing calculator that reveals where leads are lost, how to measure answer rates, conversion rates, show rates, and scheduling into the same month, and why most practices only get 17 patients out of 100 leads. You’ll learn how closing these operational gaps can more than triple new patient flow without increasing ad spend. If you want to maximize your dental marketing ROI, stop wasting leads, and consistently grow your practice, this episode is a must-watch.
