The Opportunities section in Call Intelligence provides a complete view of all scheduling opportunities generated from phone calls. It helps practices understand how many potential appointments were created, how many were won, how many remain open, and why some were lost. Use this guide to understand every KPI and chart shown in the Opportunities dashboard.
The total number of scheduling opportunities generated during the selected time period. An opportunity is created when a patient shows intent to schedule, but the appointment is not booked yet.
This is the starting point of the scheduling funnel. It shows true demand for appointments and helps measure how effectively the practice converts scheduling intent into booked visits.
Track total potential scheduling volume
Identify whether marketing and inbound efforts are generating appointment interest
Compare opportunity creation across months or seasons
If 312 opportunities were created this month, 312 callers showed intent to schedule but had not yet booked at the time of the call.
The total number of opportunities that were successfully converted into booked appointments.
This shows actual scheduling success and how efficiently the front desk converts interest into appointments.
Evaluate overall booking performance
Measure the impact of coaching and scripting
Set targets for weekly/monthly scheduling wins
If 268 out of 312 opportunities were won, the practice successfully booked 268 appointments from interested callers.
The percentage of total opportunities that were converted into booked appointments.
This is the core performance metric for scheduling effectiveness. A high win rate indicates strong handling of appointment inquiries, while a low win rate signals training, process, or staffing gaps.
Monitor conversion trends over time
Evaluate performance after new scripts or workflow updates
Benchmark against internal expectations (e.g., target 70%+ win rate)
If 268 of 312 opportunities were booked, the Opportunity Win Rate is 86%.
The percentage of new patient scheduling opportunities that were successfully converted to appointments.
New patient opportunities directly impact practice growth. This metric reveals how well the team converts high-value, first-time callers.
Evaluate onboarding and first-contact handling
Measure the success of marketing-generated leads
Identify training needs specific to new patient conversations
If 51 of 70 new patient opportunities were booked, the New Patient Win Rate is 72%.
The percentage of existing patient scheduling opportunities that resulted in booked appointments.
A low number here often indicates process gaps—existing patients should be the easiest to convert.
Detect follow-up bottlenecks
Evaluate the quality of recall, recare, and reschedule workflows
Monitor patient loyalty and experience
If 53 of 86 opportunities from existing patients were booked, the Existing Patient Win Rate is 62%.
All scheduling opportunities that remain open and still require follow-up.
Open opportunities represent active scheduling potential. A high number indicates missed follow-up or process delays.
Assign staff to follow up daily or weekly
Prevent lost revenue due to long delays
Monitor backlog size and response time
If 244 opportunities remain open, these 244 patients have shown interest but have not yet booked.
The number of open opportunities specifically for new patients.
Open new-patient opportunities represent high-value leads. Quick follow-up is essential to avoid losing them to competitors.
Prioritize outreach to new patients first
Set tighter SLAs (same-day or next-day callbacks)
Track marketing lead handling effectiveness
If 32 new-patient opportunities are open, these 32 callers are not yet booked and may still convert if followed up quickly.
Open scheduling opportunities for existing patients.
These opportunities often relate to recare, treatment planning, cancellations, or rescheduling needs. Closing them improves retention.
Prioritize recare follow-ups
Reduce overdue or dormant recall cases
Provide better continuity of care
If 202 existing patient opportunities remain open, those patients still need appointments.
Open opportunities classified as high value (e.g., $$$ services or high revenue potential).
High-value cases directly impact production. Delayed follow-up on these leads to significant revenue loss.
Assign senior staff or treatment coordinators
Follow up more frequently and proactively
Reduce revenue leakage by closing these opportunities quickly
If 65 high-value opportunities remain open, these represent major revenue potential still waiting to be scheduled.
Open opportunities marked as Hot — typically meaning the patient showed strong intent (e.g., urgent need, flexible schedule, ready to book).
Hot opportunities are the easiest to close. Slow follow-up directly lowers conversion and patient satisfaction.
Prioritize these opportunities for same-day callback
Assign to the team member with the highest booking success
Track hot opportunity closure rate
If 44 hot opportunities are still open, those 44 patients need fast action to convert.
A visual breakdown showing how all opportunities are distributed across three statuses:
Won
Lost
Open
This provides a quick view of the overall health of your scheduling funnel and highlights whether opportunities are progressing or getting stuck.
Identify if too many opportunities remain open
Evaluate the ratio of wins to losses
Investigate reasons behind spikes in lost opportunities
If the breakdown shows:
223 won
103 lost
103 open
… the practice may focus on reducing the “open” pool through targeted follow-ups.
A daily or weekly trend showing how many patients contacted the practice to book and whether those opportunities were ultimately booked or lost.
Trend data reveals performance patterns — such as staffing gaps, training improvements, or seasonal fluctuations.
Monitor daily consistency in booking performance
Analyze dips on specific days (staff shortage, high call volume, script issues)
Measure progress after coaching or workflow changes
If Thursdays consistently show lower conversion, the manager may assign additional scheduling support on that day.
What it means
This chart lists users (agents/staff) and shows how many scheduling opportunities each person has handled during the selected date range.
Why it matters
It reveals workload distribution and helps identify whether opportunities are being handled centrally, evenly, or concentrated with a few individuals. It also highlights performance capacity and ownership of leads.
How practices use it
Balance workloads across staff to avoid burnout and missed follow-ups.
Identify top opportunity generators and replicate their techniques.
Reassign or train users with low volumes or high drop rates.
Validate that opportunities are distributed according to scheduling/shift plans.
Example
If Dr. Grant shows 89 opportunities while Danny shows 12, the manager may investigate whether Danny needs more training, different routing, or a schedule change so he can handle more opportunities.
This bar chart shows each user’s conversion performance for new patient opportunities, breaking their activity into Won, Open, and Lost percentages (or counts).
Why it matters
Converting new patients is critical for practice growth. This chart shows which staff members are most effective at turning first-time callers into booked patients.
How practices use it
Identify high-performing staff to model best practices.
Target coaching for users with low new-patient win rates.
Adjust scripts or FAQs for users with high open or lost rates.
Set individual goals or incentives for new-patient conversions.
Example
If Bella has an 82%-win rate on new-patient opportunities while Ella has 22%, Bella’s approach can be reviewed and incorporated into team coaching.
This chart shows each user’s conversion performance for existing patient opportunities, with Won / Open / Lost breakdowns.
Why it matters
Existing patients should be easier to convert than new patients — low win rates here can signal process or communication problems that affect retention.
How practices use it
Spot staff who need coaching on recare/reschedule conversations.
Compare handling of existing vs new patients per user to find training gaps.
Use results to optimize follow-up cadence and allocate recare responsibilities.
Example
If Dr. Cavity’s existing-patient win rate is 20% while Dr. Grant’s is 89%, review Dr. Cavity’s workflow or scripts for handling return-patient concerns.
What it means
This chart shows how many opportunities were created for each appointment/service type (e.g., Crowns, Root Canals, Invisalign) in the selected time period.
Why it matters
Understanding which services generate the most scheduling interest helps with staffing, treatment coordinator allocation, and forecasting production.
How practices use it
Prioritize training and resources for high-volume service lines.
Forecast supply needs (e.g., block appointment slots for popular treatments).
Align marketing spend with services that generate the most appointment intent.
Example
If Root Canals and Crowns show the highest opportunity counts, the practice might ensure sufficient chair time and treatment coordinator availability for those services.
What it means
This chart shows the conversion (Won/Open/Lost) of new-patient opportunities by appointment/service type.
Why it matters
Different services convert at different rates for new patients — this helps identify which services attract new patients who are likely to book and which require additional nurturing.
How practices use it
Tailor new-patient messaging for services with low conversion.
Create service-specific scripts for new-patient inquiries.
Adjust marketing and landing pages to reflect services that convert well for first-time callers.
Example
If Cosmetic procedures show low new patient win rates but Veneers show high win rates, the marketing and booking flow for Cosmetic should be reviewed to improve conversion.
What it means
This chart shows the conversion breakdown (Won/Open/Lost) of existing-patient opportunities categorized by appointment/service type.
Why it matters
It highlights which services existing patients are likely to accept and which encounter resistance — useful for retention and recare strategies.
How practices use it
Focus recare campaigns on services with high acceptance among existing patients.
Investigate friction for services with high lost rates (scheduling constraints, pricing, prep requirements).
Reassign staff or tweak follow-up processes for service types with poor conversion for existing patients.
Example
If Recare and Routine Check services show high win rates among existing patients, the practice can scale automated reminders and recare outreach for those services.
A breakdown showing why new patient opportunities were lost (e.g., price concerns, insurance not accepted, lack of availability, patient not ready, etc.).
Understanding the obstacles new patients face helps the practice improve onboarding, scheduling, and marketing messaging.
Identify which objections occur most frequently
Improve scripts to address high-impact objections
Refine marketing to match patient expectations
Align availability (e.g., more new-patient slots if lack-of-availability is high)
If 25% of new patient losses are due to “Preferred Slot Not Available” the practice may consider adding blocks for new-patient emergencies.
A breakdown showing why existing patient opportunities were lost (e.g., scheduling conflicts, cost concerns, treatment deferred, missed follow-ups).
Losses here reflect retention risks — existing patients are easier and more cost-effective to convert.
Identify friction points in rescheduling, recare, or treatment acceptance
Redesign follow-up workflows for existing patients
Reduce churn by addressing common objections
If many losses happen because “Call Back Later” the team may adopt a proactive recall or follow-up strategy.
