What separates a thriving orthopedic or physical therapy practice from one that struggles with patient conversions? The answer lies in measuring and optimizing front desk sales performance. We recently had an insightful conversation with Jerry Durham, CEO of The Client Experience Company, where we discussed the importance of tracking key front desk metrics and how our Jet AI tool empowers clinics to improve patient scheduling, sales processes, and overall practice growth.
Why Front Desk Sales Matter More Than You Think
Many orthopedic clinics and physical therapy practices focus heavily on marketing but overlook their sales process—particularly what happens at the front desk. The reality is:
✅ Missed calls = Missed revenue – Some practices are missing 30-40% of incoming calls, leaving thousands of dollars on the table.
✅ Unscheduled treatments = Lost patient opportunities – Patients inquire but never schedule, and most practices don’t know why.
✅ Data-driven decisions matter – Without tracking leads and conversions, clinics can’t optimize their marketing spend or sales strategy.
Jet AI: The Solution for Front Desk Optimization
During our discussion, we emphasized that Jet AI isn’t just a call-tracking tool—it’s a comprehensive AI-driven solution designed to help clinics:
📞 Track every patient inquiry – See exactly how many calls come in, how many convert, and how many go unanswered.
📊 Identify weak points in the sales process – Understand why patients don’t schedule and pinpoint areas for coaching front desk teams.
🔍 Analyze marketing ROI in real time – Know which ads and campaigns generate the highest-value leads.
🎯 Make data-driven staffing decisions – Identify high-performing front desk employees and areas where additional training is needed.
