Description:
Are full-time front desk admins becoming obsolete? In this episode of the Cash Physical Therapy Headquarters Podcast, we tackle one of the most frequently asked questions from practice owners: "Do you still need a full-time admin in today’s PT world?"
Ben and Jordan break down the pros, cons, and evolving alternatives — from remote VAs and sales-specialist PTs to conversation AI and voice AI that follow up with leads automatically. They explore why most admin setups lead to burnout, high turnover, and missed conversions — and how top-performing clinics are dividing responsibilities across patient intake specialists, in-person experience coordinators, and automation-enhanced workflows to scale faster and smarter.
They also share:
How paying more (for the right person) creates better ROI 💰
When to transition from VA → in-person admin → PT sales specialist
Why multitasking is killing your conversion rates — and what to do instead

If you're a clinic owner stuck juggling 20 hats (and wondering why you're still not profitable), this episode will give you the roadmap to delegate smarter, scale faster, and keep your front-end patient experience sharp as you grow.
