We could hardly believe it when Office Manager/Treatment Coordinator told us her Florida practice achieved a 99% case acceptance rate. When we asked her how she does it, she said simply, “We teach them, we don’t tell them.” What she means is she uses questions, a lot of listening, and re-affirmation to educate patients about their oral health.
What’s your current case acceptance rate? The benchmark we like to see is 95%, and even that goal is a struggle for many practices. By adjusting your language and taking a less “directive” approach, you’ll hear more patients talk themselves into the treatment they realize they need. See if this video reflects the language your team uses in your practice!

Just two weeks into her dental career and already thriving!
Have you ever hired someone like Paola Zapata? Little to no dental experience, but a willingness to learn and grow?
Paola started at Jobe Dental in Kansas City just two weeks before sitting down for this interview. While eager for a fresh start, she lacked the language, skills and knowledge of systems necessary in a high-functioning practice.
Dr. Anna Jobe immediately enrolled her in the Compass Program. And she has quickly joined her teammates, watching videos, studying the Playbook, and arming herself with the knowledge with the collections, insurance and scheduling strategies that keep the practice thriving!
"The videos have provided us a lot of information that we have all been able to come to the office and apply."
-Anna Jobe, DDS
