What if the biggest revenue leak in your practice isn't marketing… but the way you handle patient financing?

In this eye-opening episode of In Touch with Terri, Terri Ross sits down with Yehuda Matar, Chief Business Officer of Ottri, to unpack one of the most overlooked growth opportunities in medical aesthetics: patient financing and payment accessibility. Together, they explore how practices are unknowingly losing patients, treatment plan acceptance, and long-term revenue simply because financing conversations are either missing, awkward, or fragmented.

Yehuda shares how Ottri is changing the game with a multi-lender financing platform designed specifically to simplify approvals, streamline the patient experience, and help practices increase conversions while maintaining a luxury brand experience. From approval rates and treatment plan retention to consultation flow and patient psychology, this episode delivers real strategies aesthetic practices can implement immediately.

If your practice wants to improve conversion rates, increase treatment acceptance, create stronger patient loyalty, and stop leaving money on the table, this is a must-listen conversation.

• Why 89% of patients prefer financing options instead of delaying treatment
• The hidden revenue loss happening inside most consultation rooms
• How fragmented financing systems hurt conversions and patient experience
• Why treatment plans and payment flexibility drive loyalty and retention
• The psychology behind "sticker shock" and how to overcome it
• How multi-lender financing improves approval rates and patient outcomes
• Why financing should feel seamless, premium, and brand-aligned
• The difference between traditional lenders and Ottri's platform model
• How practices can use financing as a strategic growth tool, not just a payment option

Season 11 Kickoff: Business Evaluation 101
Season 11 starts with one of the most important conversations in aesthetic business success: why every practice needs a comprehensive business evaluation. Terri breaks down what a true evaluation looks like (spoiler: not a surface-level audit), why 90% of practices don't measure their data, and how that leads to chaos, burnout, missed profit, and stalled growth.

If you're serious about 2026 goals, scaling, improving profitability, or becoming exit-ready, this episode is your "lift the hood" moment.

• Why being "busy" doesn't automatically mean you're profitable

• What a real business evaluation includes (a full diagnostic of your practice)

• The most common blind spots costing practices major revenue

• The KPIs that reveal where profit is being drained or blocked

• Why more marketing, more equipment, and more discounting often won't fix the real issue

• How better scheduling, utilization, pricing, and conversion tracking can drive fast gains

• Why retention and patient lifetime value are profit levers most practices ignore

• How aligned compensation plans can reward the right behaviors and stabilize teams

• What you get: questionnaire + financial uploads + formal report + 90-minute findings call + step-by-step action plan

TRC and her team have proven results, and a combined 120 years of experience scaling aesthetic practices. If you are ready for real change and next level growth but you're stuck in the weeds or unsure what's holding you back, the TRC Business Evaluation is your starting point. Ask yourself can you afford not to?
