Lead Conversion Specialist
The Opportunity
We’re hiring a Phone Operator / Lead Conversion Specialist to support new patient leads from the moment they reach out—primarily via phone calls and text messages —with the goal of getting them scheduled for a new patient appointment as quickly and smoothly as possible.
Responsibilities and Deliverables
- Answer inbound calls and texts from new patient leads with clear, accurate, and timely communication
- Make outbound calls and send texts throughout the day to follow up with new leads and get them booked
- Convert leads into scheduled appointments by guiding patients through the next steps, answering common questions, and reducing drop-off
- Schedule and reschedule appointments , including managing missed appointments and helping patients get back on the calendar quickly
- Triage intake-related issues that arise before the first visit (e.g., scheduling conflicts, basic onboarding questions, communication gaps) and escalate as needed
- Provide compassionate, high-quality support with a strong focus on patient trust and satisfaction
- Maintain clean, consistent documentation of patient interactions so nothing falls through the cracks
- Track follow-ups and next steps to ensure each lead receives timely outreach and a clear outcome (booked, not a fit, no response, etc.)
- Identify recurring lead objections or friction points and share feedback to improve scripts, workflows, and conversion rates
- Work closely with internal teams to resolve issues quickly and keep the intake process moving
- Maintain a reliable, high-speed internet connection for smooth and consistent communication
- Aim to deliver the best experience possible for our patients
Qualifications
- Proficient in spoken and written English
- Comfortable being on the phone consistently and communicating with confidence via call + SMS
- Warm, calm, and empathetic—especially when speaking with patients who may be anxious or overwhelmed
- Highly organized, with strong follow-through and the ability to manage multiple conversations at once
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment where processes improve frequently
- Detail-oriented and consistent with documentation and status tracking
- Able to stay firmly within a non-clinical scope while partnering effectively with clinical/ops teams
- Motivated by outcomes (appointments booked, fast response times, reduced drop-off) without sacrificing patient experience
