Land more patients in your dental chair with these tips and tricks:
- Introduce Yourself
Did you know that on nearly 40% of the calls that our team analyzes the staff member forgets to introduce themselves? A simple introduction can set the tone for the call, making your dental practice more approachable and can help potential patients feel more engaged. - Set The Tone
The tone of your front desk team member’s voice is critical to setting the mood of the phone call and the patient’s initial experience with your practice. Make sure your staff is smiling while they talk, the potential patient can hear the cheer and will help build a warm and welcoming feeling about your dental practice before they ever step foot in your office. - Establish Purpose
Have your staff determine why the potential patient is calling within the first few seconds of the call. Keeping the call focused on the patient’s specific needs can help speed up the call and make the patient feel heard and understood. Consider practicing some prepared remarks with your team. While we do not advocate scripts, having some standard, well thought out answers to questions about insurance or pricing can help your staff be more successful securing new patients. - Create Rapport & Express Empathy
Empathy and rapport make your dental practice more approachable. Many patients feel anxious when considering a new dentist. Having an empathetic staff that works to connect on a personal level with patients can help you stand above your competition. - Always Ask For An Appointment
Do not let any phone call end without asking to schedule an appointment. You would be surprised how many calls we analyze that end in silence. Do not let potential leads slip away, but make sure your staff follow ups at the end of the call with an invitation to set an appointment. - Reach Out, Follow Up- Online Submissions
Do not forget about potential patients who choose to make contact through the internet. Be sure your staff knows to track and follow up with all emails and website form submissions daily. To increase lead conversions from online submissions Dental Revenue recommends following the “5 touch follow up”.
