Your Business Phone is the Window into Your Dental Practice: What Your View?
If the eyes are the windows into the human soul, electronic communications are the windows for the soul of a business or dental practice. That's why it's so important that when people call your office they get a great "view" into the quality of service your office provides.
There's an old and very true saying that "you never get a second chance to make a first impression." Too often, we think this refers more to meeting and interacting with them in person and forget that first impressions are created during the first contact—which more and more frequently happens over the phone.
Prospective dental patients may have found your name through the phone book, or from a relative or friend. Whatever the initial impetus that leads them to call your dentistry office, until people hear someone answer the phone and interact with that person, they won't have formed a true impression of you. This is why great phone manners, attitudes and voices are so terribly important!
