Patient Acquisition Costs Rising 40% YoY

8

Aspen Dental's patient acquisition costs have increased 40% year-over-year, driven by rising digital advertising costs, increased competition from other DSOs, and declining organic referral rates. This puts pressure on unit economics and threatens the expansion into 15 new markets.

“Rachel is warm, expressive, and competitive. She values personal connection, so always start with rapport before diving into business. She responds best to consumer insights and competitive intelligence. When critiquing her team's work, frame it as strategic opportunity rather than tactical criticism. She decides fast and trusts her gut.”

Key Observations

Loves when you bring consumer insights she hasn't seen. "You know something I don't" is her favorite feeling.

Gets defensive when her team's creative work is questioned directly. Critique the strategy, not the execution.

Deeply competitive. She tracks what other healthcare brands are doing weekly. Use competitive frames.

Start with personal connection. She always asks about your weekend, matches energy, and brings warmth.

When stressed, talks faster and starts multi-tasking visibly (checking phone). Slow the pace.
