Show Notes

Excited to share insights from the latest episode of the "Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes" podcast, featuring Andrew Arnold. In this episode, Andrew dives into one of the most pressing challenges in allied health practices: patient drop-offs. With over 35 years in private practice, Andrew introduces the game-changing Dropout Solution Program—built to tackle the staggering fact that 60% of patients leave after just three visits or less. Here are 3 key takeaways you won't want to miss: Find the Real Issue Before You Supplement With Marketing Increasing ad spend isn’t always the answer. Fixing the “leaks inside the bucket”—by understanding and addressing why patients drop out—is more effective than simply bringing more patients in. Track Your Stats, Not Just Your Gut Feeling Data drives better decisions. Andrew emphasizes the power of tracking actual patient numbers and rebooking rates, rather than relying on perceived reality, to accurately gauge the health of your practice. Retention Starts With a Compelling ‘Why’ Pain alone isn’t enough. Providing patients with meaningful reasons and clear plans to stay—along with focusing on WOW factors—creates loyal patients who refer others and help grow your practice. If you’re looking to boost outcomes, improve retention, and increase profitability in your allied health business, this episode is packed with actionable advice.

Just released the latest Practiceology 7 Questions in 7 Minutes Podcast featuring Stephen Franson, founder of The Remarkable Practice, to share strategies for building a scalable, profitableand remarkable allied health business. Whether you're launching, building, scaling, or planning your exit, this conversation is packed with practical insights for health professionals aiming to stop working “in” their business and start working “on” it. Including details of Stephen's upcoming "Remarkable Practice Immersions". Top 3 Takeaways: 🔑 Systems Are Everything: As Stephen explains, a business is only scalable, durable, and transferable if you have robust systems in place—for attraction (marketing), conversion, retention, team building, and collections. Without these, you’re just building yourself a bigger job, not a business. 🔑 Diagnose Your Constraints: Many owners try to out-hustle their way past bottlenecks, but according to Stephen , the only way to achieve growth is to identify and directly address your biggest operational constraints, not just work around them. 🔑 Wear the Right Hat: Being a health business owner means mastering three identities: the doctor, the operator, and the business owner. Each requires different skills and focus—knowing which “hat” to wear and when is critical for success.
