Building A Successful Recall System: Unfortunately, patient retention is not guaranteed by pre-appointing, sending postcards, letters, or even phone calls. But an effective use of an integrated retention system can significantly improve your ability to keep patients returning. With the help of this step-by-step guide and telephone scripts, you can overcome patients saying, "Not right now. I'll call you back." You'll learn how to: • Get Recall Patients to Schedule • Turn Around Those Patients Who Cancel • Overcome Patient Objections with Field-Tested Techniques • Develop an Effective Presentation Script • Strengthen Overall Communication Skills
Support Follow Up: Four telephone meetings are available for you at your request and can begin anytime up to three months after the program. You tell us what will work best for you. We want you to achieve the success that you desire and are eager to work with you to make that success a reality. Before, during or after the program, you have the entire support team at McKenzie Management to answer your questions.
