Description

It’s not marketing’s fault—you’re probably losing most of your opportunities at the front desk. That first call matters, and you need someone who knows how to guide the right patients through.

When your front desk knows your technology, your treatments, and how to handle tough questions, they’re more likely to turn inquiries into appointments.

To set the front desk up for success, Mara Shorr of ACG Practice Partners shares her best tips: fast but effective onboarding, solid scripting, and tools to help your team speak with confidence.
