It’s not a surprise that successful companies have strong customer service teams. Customer service is, after all, the backbone of many powerful brands as it ensures positive connections between customers and employees.
When it comes to your chiropractic practice, excellent customer service may be the difference between potential patients choosing you or another practice. Here are some key points to improve your customer service.
Respond and Anticipate
Serving your clients should be both reactive and proactive. Responding to incoming inquiries in a timely fashion is important, and it is equally important to anticipate roadblocks patients may have before they arise. This means communicating things like changing hours, bringing in new doctors, accepted insurances, etc. Proactive customer service builds trust with your patients and demonstrates your commitment.
Learn from your Patients
You should try to treat every patient conversation like it’s a learning experience. When you listen to the feedback of your patients and learn from it, you create a mutually beneficial relationship. Even if a conversation isn’t exactly what you want to hear, you can learn from the interaction and work toward improvement.
Do More than Tell – Teach
In most cases, it’s easier to just tell a patient what to do to solve an issue they are experiencing. When you take the time to educate your patients, they will better understand the importance of what they need to do because they understand the why. Additionally, education is a great tool for showing you are an expert in your field and can help with marketing efforts.
Practice Positivity
Your staff knows how important it is to be positive when facing patients. But your attitude away from patients is just as important. In your practice, you want to cultivate a positive work environment. This will increase work performance and provide an enjoyable place to work.
