Why Every Therapy Practice Needs a CRM in 2026

You have a booking problem, and you probably don't even know it. In this video, I break down why every group practice needs a CRM in 2026, what a CRM actually is (and how it's completely different from your EHR like Jane), and why the leads you're working so hard to attract are quietly slipping through the cracks. If you're bringing traffic to your website but your calendar still feels empty, this is the missing piece. I’m sharing the stat that stopped me in my tracks (responding to an inquiry even a few minutes late can tank your conversion rate), the real reason four out of five clinics never called a lead back, and the automatic text-back feature that's about to become the new standard. We are chatting about how tracking where every lead comes from changes the way you spend on marketing, and why you're likely competing against private equity firms who already have all of this figured out. Plus, a first look at Clinic Monk, the CRM I built specifically for therapists, launching this fall.
