The Problem

MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES
LOSE PATIENTS EVERY DAY

You're losing patients every day because calls go unanswered. New patients call after hours, walk-ins overwhelm your budtenders, and compliance questions flood your phone lines. There's a better way.

You Miss Calls When Patients Need You Most

A new patient finds your dispensary at 10 PM, calls to verify product availability and hours, and gets voicemail. By morning, they've already visited a competitor who answered. First-time patients won't wait.

The Cost
$850/patient
Average lifetime value lost

Your Budtenders Are Drowning in Calls

While helping a patient select products, three more calls come in. Menu questions, ID verification inquiries, consultation bookings—your staff can't serve in-store patients and answer phones simultaneously. Service quality suffers.

The Cost
60+ calls/day
Per dispensary location

Consultations No-Show and You Lose Them Forever

You schedule a patient consultation with your cannabis specialist, block the time, and prep their file. They don't show. You send one follow-up text that gets ignored. That's it—they're gone, and that appointment slot stays empty.
