This is the first in a series of posts relating to practice building.
And as I have said before, if you want your practice to grow with constant new patient business, answer the phones. I just can't emphasize this enough. Just the fact that the patient selected your name is incredible and is the goal of all your other marketing efforts. But if they can't get through on the phone, it is all for naught.
Answer the phones during the day, in the morning, in the evening. Make it easy for new patients to speak to a live voice. If you must have a call service or an auto-attendant, make sure you have an option that allows patients to immediately reach a live voice, most preferrably you. Trust me, you won't be annoyed. It is all for you.
Thanks,
The IU.
