Jason (you)
"Dr. Chen, this is Jason Todd calling from Todd Dental Operations. I sent you an email Monday — you may have seen it. I'll be brief.
I work with independent dental practices in Pennsylvania to recover unscheduled treatment and reduce no-shows. Most practices I talk to have $80,000 to $180,000 sitting in their PMS right now that no one is calling on.
I'm not here to sell you anything today — I just want to ask two questions to see if what we do is even relevant to your practice. Is that fair?"
Dr. Chen
"Sure, go ahead — I've got a few minutes."
Jason — move into Discovery (5 questions)
"Quick question — how many no-shows per week would you say you're averaging?"
Dr. Chen
"Probably eight to ten a week. It's been bad lately."
Jason
"Do you have a follow-up system when someone no-shows?"
Dr. Chen
"Front desk tries to call them back but honestly it's hit or miss. We're slammed at the front."
Jason
"Got it. What PMS are you on?"
Jason
"Perfect — that's one of three we integrate with directly. Last question: do you have any sense of what's sitting in your unscheduled treatment list? Patients you've diagnosed but haven't scheduled yet?"
Dr. Chen
"Oh it's a lot. I know we pulled a report once and it was over a hundred thousand dollars. Nobody's touching it."
Jason — plant the ROI seed
"That's exactly what I'm talking about. Those patients want the treatment — they said yes, they just haven't scheduled. My team calls them. You do nothing. We track everything. Last question: what does a fully scheduled day produce at your practice?"
Dr. Chen
"A good day is around twelve thousand. When we're fully booked, which doesn't happen enough."
Jason — transition to booking
"So ten no-shows at — let's say $300 average — that's $3,000 a week leaving through the door. Plus $100,000 in unscheduled treatment sitting untouched. Dr. Chen, I think there's a real conversation to be had here. Can you do 15 minutes this week so I can show you exactly what we'd recover in your system? I'd pull your actual numbers."
Dr. Chen
"Yeah, let's do that. What about Thursday afternoon?"
