Alpha Aesthetics Partners is excited to introduce "Operation Med Spa," the newest addition to the Alpha Podcast network, hosted by Rebekah Brannon, Director of Strategic Growth, and Janelle Cordtz, Director of Operations. In the debut episode, the dynamic duo dives into a fundamental, yet often overlooked, strategy that can make or break a practice: rebooking.

As veterans with nearly 30 years of collective experience in the aesthetics industry, Bek and Janelle bring a wealth of knowledge to the table. They’ve witnessed the industry’s evolution—from the days when providers were the primary educators to now, where clients arrive with a clear understanding of the treatments they want. Social media and digital influence have significantly contributed to this shift, making aesthetic procedures more accessible and mainstream.

Despite these changes, Bek and Janelle emphasize that some fundamentals remain unchanged. One of the most crucial, yet increasingly neglected, is the art of rebooking. They observe that many clinics no longer prioritize this vital step, leading to missed opportunities for building a loyal client base. Bek and Janelle argue that rebooking isn’t just about securing future appointments—it’s about job security, team morale, and ultimately creating "lifers" out of first-time clients.

The hosts share practical insights on how to revive the rebooking culture. It begins with the provider, who must take the lead in the conversation. Clients look to their providers as experts, so it’s essential that the provider sets the expectation for the next appointment before the client leaves the treatment room. The handoff to the front desk should be seamless, ensuring that the client feels guided and cared for throughout the entire process.

Bek and Janelle also discuss common pitfalls—like providers leaving rebooking up to the client or front desk staff framing it as a question rather than a statement. They stress the importance of clear communication and assertive guidance, which can significantly boost rebooking rates. In fact, they’ve seen practices increase their rebooking rates from 30% to over 70% with just a few weeks of focused effort.

In conclusion, Bek and Janelle champion rebooking as one of the easiest and most effective strategies to enhance client retention and practice growth. By making rebooking a fun, team-oriented goal, practices can see substantial improvements in both client satisfaction and revenue. The episode wraps up with a call to action for clinics to reevaluate their rebooking strategies and implement the tips shared to start seeing immediate results.

"Operation Med Spa" promises to be a valuable resource for aesthetic practices looking to refine their operations and drive growth, and this first episode sets the tone for the practical, actionable advice listeners can expect in every installment.
