Customer Service Archives - HIP Creative

When I was put in charge of Chick-fil-A’s leadership program many years ago, I quickly realized that the customer service experience is one of the most important aspects for any business. It was in this season of my life that I learned a lot about customer service, effective communication, and leadership. Not only did this job help me understand the importance of customer service in business, but it has also had a lasting impact on my life as well as my professional career as it is coded in our DNA here at HIP.

If you are an orthodontist or business looking to improve your patient experience, then you have come to the right place. I have created the “Ten Components of the Front Desk of Your Dreams” to help you reap the benefits of every lesson I learned from Chick-fil-A and the top orthodontics practices across the country that we have partnered with. These ten components are essential if you want your practice’s front desk to run smoothly and efficiently while providing excellent customer service for all patients who come through its doors.

The three main takeaways from this book are:

Grasping these three concepts and getting them instilled in your team will transform your practice. And yes, it IS way easier said than done. At HIP, my team and I work with orthodontic practices every day to put these components in place and help them run smoother businesses with increased profits and more satisfied customers overall! Start implementing these changes now for successful results later!

When a practice nails the following four principles down, they start to experience growth:

I invite you to take the first step in building the front desk of your dreams right now. Dr. Sarah Howle, an associate at Fishbein Orthodontics, says, “What gets inspected gets RESPECTED.”

Having a well-trained team that understands best practices for growth is essential if you want your practice or business to reach its full potential. To achieve success it’s necessary to create an efficient team structure by separating outpatient care center duties from those of the front desk—while still allowing them both to work together seamlessly—so that each department can focus on what it does best without interruption from other areas of operations. With this structure in place, you’ll be able to set clear expectations for performance, track progress towards goals more closely, delegate responsibilities more easily, increase overall productivity, and maximize efficiency within each department—all leading up to greater success!

As the digital age continues to evolve, it’s become increasingly important for businesses to stay up to date with the latest in computer software and technology. From customer relationship management (CRM) systems like PraticeBeacon to more basic applications such as email and text messaging, your front desk and patient care center teams need functioning and up-to-date tech tools in order to do their jobs well.

When you provide resources such as instructions on how to use PracticeBeacon, tips about tonality and tempo during interactions with patients, or even scripts to help facilitate conversations while gathering information, it will take some of the pressure off your employees if they forget certain details. This will give them more confidence when interacting with clients and make sure they are delivering their best performance every time. Additionally, providing resources helps create consistency across all interactions with clients. This consistency creates trust between your business and its customers, which is crucial in building long-term relationships.

No matter how big or small your practice is currently—or how much you want it to grow—it’s important to have a plan in place that outlines the steps necessary for achieving success. By visualizing what different types of organizations look like through the charts we provide in this book (small, medium, or large practices)—and understanding which roles need to be filled in order for them to function properly—you can gain a better understanding of where your practice should go from here and which role changes need to occur in order for you reach those goals. With the right amount of planning and dedication (and maybe some outside help), you can take your business from good-to-great!
