In the dynamic world of dog-walking businesses, the winds of change are blowing stronger than ever.

Now, imagine combining these two forces to catapult your dog-walking business to new heights! Yes, you heard it right.

In today’s episode of  “Bella in Your Business: Pet Industry Business Podcast,”  I talk about this important group and as we all know millennials are a huge demographic and they have unique preferences when it comes to choosing products and services. And with the rise of the hybrid work model, it’s even more important to understand how to reach and appeal to them. One of the critical things to keep in mind when marketing to millennials is convenience. They value seamless experiences and want things to be as easy as possible. So, one tip I have for you is to utilize online booking services. This allows millennials to easily schedule appointments or services with just a few clicks, without any hassle.

What sets an exceptional pet sitter apart from the rest? The answer lies in the power of systemized pet sitter training. 

Gone are the days when pet sitting was seen as a casual gig; today, it's a bona fide profession that requires a deep understanding of animal behavior, health, and client expectations. 

In this episode of Bella in Your Business: Pet Industry Business Podcast, I want to talk about something that's really important in the pet care industry - standardized training. You see, it's crucial for all team members to be on the same page when it comes to taking care of our furry friends. That's why I believe in having a training system that's easy to follow and understand.

I think it's also important to cater to different learning styles. We all learn in different ways, so incorporating different methods like videos, hands-on training, and written materials can really make a difference.

Another thing I want to emphasize is the importance of showcasing your training system. By displaying it on your website and social media platforms, you're showing potential clients that you take their pets' care seriously. It instills trust and security in them.

That's why I'm so excited to introduce you to Pet Care Team Training, a company I co-founded. We offer a program that provides standardized training for pet care businesses. It's a comprehensive system that covers everything from basic pet care to advanced techniques.

And here's the best part - I want to offer you a special deal. As a listener of this podcast, you can try our program for free. Just visit our website and sign up for a trial. I know you'll love it!

So let's make sure our furry friends are in good hands by implementing standardized training in the pet care industry. Together, we can make a difference!

Notable Quotes:

[00:04:33] “When you start hearing things like, X, Y, Z company down the street is $3 less or Oh, you kind of seem a little expensive. That tells me that your messaging and marketing and social media have not done a good enough job of changing the barometer.”

[00:05:11] “ To be standardized, it means that I can follow along your workflow, your script on it, or you could hand it off to Tom, Dick or Harry.”

[00:09:15] “Showing and telling and bragging about how great your standardized system is can help you tremendously. But I don't see anyone do it.” 

[00:14:57] “Wherever or whatever standardized program you get for training you need it for many different reasons. You need to make sure that everyone gets the same experience, the training. You need to let your clients know that everyone is trained the same way. You need to let the employees know that everyone is trained the same way.”
