This week, Leisa tackles patient theft, a systemic issue eroding your bottom line.\nTheft is more common than believed, from pocketed products to unpaid services. She shares stories of patients rummaging through treatment rooms, a reminder that trust isn't a given. Sometimes, it’s taken. Entitlement fuels this behavior, with patients rationalizing theft as a fair trade. Leisa clarifies: these aren't harmless \"whoopsies,\" but calculated acts impacting your business.\nLeisa shifts to prevention, urging you to spot red flags: overly curious non-buyers, constant sample requests, fidgety lurkers. Trust your gut when something feels off. She stresses clear boundaries: signage, staff presence, inventory audits. Leisa also addresses handling theft: stay calm, address it directly, have a policy. \"Fire\" blatant thieves; they aren't worth the loss.\nLeisa's message: theft is real, but not a constant threat. Spot red flags, set boundaries, handle it like a boss. This episode challenges you to confront the industry's uncomfortable truths and control your destiny.\nLinks & Notes\nScalpelOfTruth.com • Join Club Bitchacho!\nCheck out our MedSpa Workshops and Trainings and schedule a discovery call today!","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/A-Y_rumA4tapK_ow9PsibmapBFQCbvbGUJkD2ZgWCZU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mOGVk/NzcxNGM1NzNhZGY2/ZDQ2N2MxOGY5MmI5/NDE0My5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
