With over 1,400 members under her wing, Sydney shares invaluable insights on creating positive first impressions and enhancing patient communication through effective phone handling. The duo emphasizes the significance of the initial phone call as a pivotal touchpoint in the patient's journey, highlighting that poor handling can result in losing potential patients without ever realizing it.
The conversation covers the "three E's" of phone communication—Empathy, Energy, and Edification—outlining strategies to ensure every caller feels valued, understood, and excited about their visit. They discuss the importance of active listening, prioritizing calls, and utilizing technology like call tracking KPIs to improve patient service and practice efficiency.
