How Do Client’s Choose a Doctor for Their Pet?

Location word of mouth - brave new world of Yelp, Social Media now they have probably selected where to start going - let’s keep them here

DVM and Staff are friendly and caring pet is handled gently genuine concern for the animal COMMUNICATION professional knowledge cost - money’s worth client’s perception of the “medicine”

your attitude toward a client will come through “enthusiasm is caught, not taught” “don’t let your busyness interfere with your business” a client must know that you are happy their pet is there a client must know their pet is happy there BY FAR the most common way you will know a client is unhappy is never seeing them again NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER!

wait times are always a concern and can always be improved keep the doctor going take as much off the DVMs plate as possible keep the client informed get things ready before you are asked to - ANTICIPATE

Appointments vs Walk-Ins Appointments vs Emergency Care Appointements vs Surgery Appointments vs Drop-Offs Appointments vs Staff Schedule

payroll is related to how much the clinic brings in and how much it spends - equally are you the equivalent of one person, 2 people, less than one person? how much money do you cost? are clients their to see you?
