The professional office (doctors , lawyers, architects, etc.) spends thousands of dollars annually on promotion. There is money spent on advertising, professional training, attractive facilities, even attractive landscaping. Yet some offices spend little or nothing on telephone skills training for the staff. This is curious, because the telephone is the lifeblood of the professional office. If is very common for a patient to make a decision to go to a competitor based upon one telephone conversation (or lack of a conversation). Most of the time, ineffective telephone management is not intentional; it’s just that the staff has not been properly trained.

The course provides essential training for any staff member who has regular phone contact with patients. The course is particularly valuable for front desk and receptionist training.

This course is a compilation of solutions and tips from telephone and sales professionals, and from 40+ years of experience in customer service. Encounters with patients and customers are rarely neutral; they are either positive or negative. With best practices for the telephone, we want to tip the scale permanently and decisively to the positive side. We don’t want to just meet expectations; we want to exceed expectations.

The course includes a special section on handling phone calls at the refractive surgery practice. Actually, every practice can learn from the refractive surgery discussion. Learn how to stop wasting 25% of your marketing budget. How should you be using your website? The answer will surprise you. How much time should your phone counselors be spending on each phone call? What are the "big two" questions that must always be effectively addressed? What terminology should your phone counselors be using? What question must your phone counselor always ask? Studies show many times it is not asked. Before hanging up, what information should you get from the caller? What follow up should your counselor be doing after the call?

This course is jam packed with useful information. The course is divided into three sections, with a quiz at the end of each section to reinforce what has been learned.
