"Anatomy of a Client Phone Call"
Presented by: Rebecca McComas, DVM and Kristi Lehman, MSW, LISW
For many veterinary team members, the client phone calls can be the most emotionally exhaustive part of their work. After hundreds of phone calls, many begin to feel a sense of dread at the sound of their phone’s ringtone, even while knowing that their phone is their lifeline to a successful practice. This is especially true when it comes to end-of-life discussions. Most of us do not have extensive training on how to support pet owners, and are therefore jumping into one of the most important functions of the veterinary practice with an empty toolbox. This can lead to feelings of burnout, compassion fatigue and poor business results. Using both qualitative and quantitative data from over 50,000 phone calls and from client survey results, we will break down the typical phone call, identify myths and assumptions about client needs, and share tools for ensuring that every phone call is successful.
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm

"Help Clients Follow Through with Recommended Therapies Using ScriptShare"

- Watch a demo to see how ScriptShare works
- Learn how to personalize your ScriptShares by recommending multiple products and adding notes to clients
- Discover how your recommendations are reinforced through your online store
- Learn about the ideal scenarios for using ScriptShare
Time: 12:30pm - 1:00pm

"3 Simple Tools for Improving Team Management"
Presented by: Rebecca McComas, DVM and Kristi Lehman, MSW, LISW
You want your practice to be well-run and enjoyable. Your team has already achieved a certain degree of success and are ready for the next level. As the practice grows, however, you begin encountering new obstacles which include a lack of control over your time, lack of productivity and accountability from your team, and inability to keep everyone ‘rowing in the same direction’. Your team has hit a ceiling which you can’t seem to break through. In this session, we’ll explore the use of three time-tested tools for managing your team to overcome these challenges. These tools are simple to learn and put into place. They are key components of the EOS system explained in the book Traction (authored by Gino Wickman) and are the same tools used daily at MN Pets, allowing us to grow into a 35+ person practice.
Time: 12:00pm - 1:00pm
