|---|---|---|

| Follow-up consistency | Breaks down under busy periods, turnover, sick days | Consistent sequences regardless of clinic volume |
| Staff & Operations | ||
| Weekly staff hours required | 3 to 5 hours per week minimum | None after initial setup |
| Training required | Script training, ongoing coaching, rehiring after turnover | One onboarding call, no ongoing staff involvement |
| Scales with practice growth | Capped by headcount — more patients means more staff | Handles databases of any size without additional cost |
| Quality & Personalization | ||
| Message personalization | Generic scripts or reminder templates | Individualized to each patient's treatment history |
| Multi-touch sequences | Typically one call, rarely followed up systematically | Timed SMS and voice sequences across multiple touchpoints |
| Cost & Reporting | ||
| Cost structure | Staff salary overhead regardless of bookings generated | 15% commission to start · no monthly fee. $750/mo + 10% once established |
| Reporting visibility | Manual tracking, often incomplete or inconsistent | Automated reporting at the session level |
