Most practices obsess over lead gen, marketing, and branding. But if your TC isn’t a natural closer—or if they have a limiting mindset around money—it won’t matter how many patients walk through your door. In this episode, I share real, tactical insights from a weekend deep dive with my OrthoPreneurs RD group focused entirely on sales, psychology, and case acceptance.

I’ll walk you through what makes a TC a true closer (and how to tell if yours is or isn’t), the emotional baggage some team members unknowingly bring to $6,000 treatment presentations, and the sales science behind why little mindset shifts can change everything. This is must-know material if you're aiming for an 85–90% case acceptance rate.

QUOTES
“If your TC sees $6,000 as life-changing money, they’ll never confidently recommend that treatment to a patient.”
 — Dr. Glenn Krieger

“You can have the best sales funnel in the world, but without a closer, it all falls apart.”
 — Dr. Glenn Krieger
