506. Freaking Out Over Low Call Volume: A Real Example of Why Metrics Matter


Listen Later

Lately, I’ve noticed a concerning drop in incoming calls to my practice, and in this episode, I’m going to talk about how vital metrics and data analysis are for uncovering and fixing problems like this. I’ll share the systematic way I’ve been investigating this, focusing on the key performance indicators that matter most. You’ll hear about the steps I’m taking to optimize our intake process. For me, it all comes down to the fact that tracking these numbers gives us crucial insights into the health of the practice, allowing us to make smart choices.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents.
