Never underestimate the power of phone answering skills. The way a dental practice phone is answered can lead to a new patient appointment (or the lack of one). Good skills can lead to de-escalation of a frustrated patient and to the positive feeling of satisfaction while neutral or negative skills can unintentionally upset a patient or drive a patient away. Dr. Kuba and Bethany jump into this very important topic in today’s episode. When is the last time that you considered the way in which your phones are answered? The impact of the phone is incredible, so listen closely!
