Episode 262 | Are You Tracking the Right Metrics? How to Track KPIs for Scaling Therapy Group Practice 11:54

hace 6 weeks11:54

11:54

Are you tracking the right KPIs, or are you just looking at numbers that don’t actually drive growth? If you’re a therapy group practice owner, knowing how to track KPIs effectively can mean the difference between a scaling therapy group practice, or feeling stuck in the day-to-day grind. In this episode of The Group Practice Exchange Podcast, I dive into how to track KPIs that matter, avoid common tracking mistakes, and implement strategies to make data-driven decisions that lead to real growth. Too many therapy practice owners either track the wrong numbers, don’t track anything at all, or set vague goals that don’t move the business forward. That’s why great therapy practice management has to start with clear, actionable KPIs that support your practice’s long-term success. In this episode, I break down: How to track KPIs that actually improve decision-making and profitability. The biggest mistakes therapy group practice owners make when setting goals. How a simple system audit can uncover hidden inefficiencies in your practice. The SMART framework for setting KPIs that drive real business growth. Why a scaling therapy group practice starts with learning how to track KPIs that matter—not just session counts. Tracking KPIs isn’t just about numbers—it’s about how to improve conversion rates, make smarter business decisions, and set up your therapy group practice for long-term success. If you’re ready to get out of the guesswork and start running your therapy group practice like a data-driven business, this episode is for you! LINKS: Need extra support?

Is your client intake process holding you back from getting more therapy clients? In this episode of The Group Practice Exchange Podcast, I’m diving into the all-important topic of how to get more therapy clients with my guest, Uriah Guilford from The Productive Therapist. We’re zeroing in on what’s often the biggest roadblock for practices: an inefficient client intake process. If therapy clients are struggling to book appointments or connect with your practice, this episode is for you. Uriah and I share strategies to simplify your client intake process, making it easier for clients to get started and for your team to deliver a seamless experience. We also discuss how optimizing your client intake process is not only how to get more therapy clients, but can lead to a more efficient admin team, happier therapists, and ultimately, a thriving practice. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: Why people drop off during the client intake process—and how to get more therapy clients by fixing this common issue. The dangers of overwhelming potential therapy clients with too many contact options and how to simplify for better results. How tracking metrics can transform your client intake process and help you make smarter decisions for your practice. How to leverage AI and other tools to streamline the client intake process and create a stress-free experience for therapy clients. Real-world lessons from Uriah’s “secret shopping” of other practices—discover what works (and what doesn’t) to improve your client intake process.

If it’s overly complicated or inefficient, you risk losing clients before they ever get through the door.
