    How Much Are Clinic's Spending To Get New Clients? | GYC Podcast 379

    How much should you actually be spending to get a new client - and how does your clinic compare? In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben and J.O.B dive into clinic marketing benchmarks using data from real clinics. They break down the median cost per new patient across physiotherapy, psychology, podiatry, chiropractic, speech pathology and occupational therapy - including why a $109 acquisition cost for a physio client can be very different from a $121 acquisition cost for a psychology client. They also explore the role of mental availability, why your content can make your Google Ads work harder, and how to use clinic performance benchmarks to identify the one metric your team should improve next. If you're a clinic owner, practice manager, or allied health leader looking to improve your marketing ROI, fill your appointment books, increase practitioner utilisation, or build a more sustainable clinic - this episode gives you real benchmarks and practical ways to use them. In This Episode You'll Learn: 📊 The new client, utilisation, patient visit average and cancellation benchmarks from 849 physios across 115 clinics 💰 The $109 median acquisition cost for physiotherapy - and why the $73 to $136 range matters 📈 How to compare client acquisition cost against lifetime client value and ROI 📢 Why paid marketing gives you more control over client volume - and how Google Ads fits into the mix 🧠 How content and brand awareness create mental availability and reduce the cost of direct marketing RESOURCES Compare Your Clinic Against the Benchmarks Want to see how your clinic compares?

    Are You Wasting Time Chasing Practitioners to Do the Little Things? | GYC Podcast 378

    Your practitioners know what they should be doing - so why aren't they doing it? The answer usually starts long before they ever walk through your door. In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Michael Rizk - owner of iMove Physio and the Private Practice Apprenticeship - to dig into one of the most common frustrations clinic owners bring to Clinic Mastery: practitioners not doing the one percenters. Mic shares why the standards conversation actually starts at recruitment, how always having a job ad running for just $5 to $10 a day has transformed his hiring pipeline, and the I-language vs we-language distinction that led him to back himself over his own team in a hiring decision - and be proven right. They walk through Mic's three-column induction system, the six key time blocks every practitioner should have in their diary, and how to have the hard conversation with a team member who just isn't hitting the mark - without the fear of them walking out the door paralysing you. If you've ever felt like you're nagging your team to do the basics, this episode shows you exactly where to start fixing it. In This Episode You'll Learn:  🎯 Why standards start at recruitment - not the team meeting  📢 The $5 to $10 a day ad strategy that keeps Mic's hiring pipeline full all year  🧠 The I-language vs we-language hiring filter that changes everything  📋 Mic's three-column induction system and the six time blocks every practitioner needs  😬 How to have the hard conversation with underperforming team members without the fear holding you back  🔄 Why always recruiting is the antidote to being held hostage by your own team Need to systemise your clinic?
