The Leaky Bucket Problem

Are your marketing efforts bringing in leads, only for them to disappear? You’re not alone. Many practices struggle with:

  • Unanswered inquiries: Leads come in but don’t receive a timely response.
  • Missed follow-ups: Without automation, potential patients fall through the cracks.
  • Inefficient processes: Teams juggle multiple tools without a clear workflow.

The Patient Journey – Your Way Stop Lead Loss & Automate Workflows with SILVR CRM Built Specifically for Medical Practices

You work hard to attract new patients, but what happens next? If your team isn’t responding fast enough to book appointments, you’re losing potential patients to competitors. Our user-friendly CRM offers unlimited functionality to help you streamline workflows, automate follow-ups, and improve patient communication—so no lead goes unanswered.

Speed to Lead: Convert More Inquiries into Patients

Speed matters when it comes to new patient acquisition. For medical practices especially, urgency is key for patient inquiries. The healthcare industry averages a response time of 2 hours and 5 minutes1—far faster than the 47-hour average across all industries,2 but still far from optimal. Instantaneous responses are ideal, as research shows that responding within five minutes makes leads 21 times more likely to convert.3

78% of consumers choose the first business that responds,4 and every 10-minute delay decreases conversion chances by 400%.5 A Harvard Business Review study found that responding within an hour makes leads 7 times more likely to convert, and fast responders secure 35–50% more sales. The ultimate benchmark? A 1-minute response improves conversion by 341%,6 proving that speed-to-lead is a game-changer across industries.

A strong patient acquisition strategy starts with fast follow-ups.

The data consistently shows that the faster you respond, the more likely a lead will become a new patient. Our CRM system helps you:

  • Notify your team in real time when a new patient reaches out.
  • Automate immediate responses via SMS, email marketing, or phone calls.
  • Automatically schedule appointments and send appointment reminders to reduce no-shows.
  • Hold your team accountable with tracking and reporting tools.
  • Ensure a drip campaign follows every inquiry to keep leads engaged.
