The integration will allow you to sync all of your contacts from PracticePanther to MailChimp. Then, you can have MailChimp automatically send them emails based on what audience or "tag" they're in. This should help turn your leads into paying customers, help retain your customers for longer, and help stay on "top of mind" for more referrals.
