In this episode of MasterMined, Mark Scrivner, Jeff Skillen, and Lee unpack one of the most common (and costly) mistakes in behavioral health: misdiagnosing growth issues. They break down how to identify \"leakage\" across your funnel, why data should drive every decision, and how admissions teams often struggle due to lack of training, not lack of leads. You'll also hear why there's no such thing as a \"bad lead,\" and how the first few minutes of a call can determine everything. If you're a behavioral health leader trying to grow census, improve conversion, or align marketing with operations, this episode is your playbook.
