Before, there was no visibility—now we know our break-even, our gross margin, our average revenue per visit. That’s when it gets fun.”“It’s scary to spend money on marketing when you’ve been in desperation mode. But the opportunity cost of not spending is bigger.”“Nobody loves your business like you do. Everyone else gets paid, and the entrepreneur goes home wondering how they’re going to make payroll. That’s why alignment and incentive structures are so important—so your team starts pushing the wagon with you.”Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:25 Turning Point: Joining the Community04:40 April's Success and Key Implementations08:50 Clinic Capacity and Staffing Issues14:24 Compensation Structures and Recruitment31:38 Marketing Strategies and Cost of Acquisition37:16 Addressing Marketing Concerns and Repeat Business40:16 Opportunity Cost and Scaling the Business49:44 Improving Front Desk Operations and Employee Incentives59:06 Exploring Marketing Channels and Strategies01:03:20 Conclusion
