Projected $640K annual lift across an 8-location DSO

Pacific Dental's central team couldn't tell which locations had retention problems from its existing reporting. Each office ran its own recall process with no consolidated view. Once location benchmarking was in place, the regional operations team could see Location #4 had 45% hygiene recall while Location #1 had 78% — and coach accordingly. Roll-out plan projects $640K annualized revenue lift across all 8 locations at steady state.

"I couldn't have a coaching conversation with Location #4's manager before this. I had no data — just a feeling. Now I have a dashboard that shows her team's recall rate against Location #1's. The conversation writes itself."

01 · The challenge

Same brand, same training, wildly different retention

Pacific Dental's 8 locations all ran Dentrix, all followed the same SOP, and yet their hygiene recall rates ranged from 45% to 78%. The regional team had P&L reports but no retention-specific benchmarking. The variance was invisible and the root causes were unaddressed.

02 · The approach

Pilot at Location #4 (worst performer) · then systematic rollout

Month 1

Location #4 pilot — 3,100 patients imported. Baseline measurement: 45% recall rate, $180K annualized leak.

Month 2

Retention IQ deployed at Location #4 only. Multi-channel recall campaign. End-of-month: recall rate lifted to 68%, $22K recovered.

Month 3

Pilot results presented to regional ops team. Location-by-location benchmarking dashboard built showing each office's recall rate, dormancy, average ticket, and provider scorecards.

Month 4-6

Systematic rollout — Locations #2, #5, #7 onboarded. Each takes about 10 days from CSV upload to first campaign live.

Month 7-9

Remaining four locations onboarded. Cross-location benchmarking now showing real variance — Location #1 still leads at 78%, Location #3 catches up to 74%.

Month 10+

Steady state. Monthly ops review includes retention scorecard per location. Coaching conversations with underperforming location managers grounded in data.
