Telephone Communication Skills Webinar

Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 3:00pm to Tuesday, July 16, 2024 at 4:00pm Webinar/Teleconference
What kind of first impression does your agency make on the phone?

Description

Is this something you’ve even considered? To be fair, telephone rapport can be difficult in transactional calls. This webinar will cover a peer coaching program that can lead to lasting change, but it will also deliver bite-sized skills that can be implemented quickly and result in significantly better patient experiences. The competition is fierce, and this is one area where you can differentiate yourself.
 
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Create your organization’s sustainable phone greeting
  • Understand four call management tactics that significantly improve patient experience
  • Ditch the scripts and use a four-step process to connect on every call
  • Launch a DIY peer coaching program
 

WEBINAR DETAILS

Jennifer calls two healthcare organizations seeking information. Her impression of the first is that they are attentive, competent, and ready to help. The second organization feels indifferent, unfriendly, and abrupt. This impression was formed from a single phone call. Poor telephone behaviors – whether systemic or interpersonal – reduce access and could be a top branding issue. Healthcare providers have less to fear from competitors offering the same services than from indifference of a team member.
 
How can you sustain the gains implemented as a result of attending this webinar? You can’t observe every telephone call. The solution is a peer coaching program to reinforce agency standards throughout the year. A peer call coaching program is the most effective way to sustain positive call behaviors and customer satisfaction. By the end of this webinar attendees will have a simple, ready-to-implement program.

THIS WEBINAR WILL BENEFIT THE FOLLOWING AGENCIES:

  • Hospice
  • Home Health
  • Home Care
  • Palliative Care

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
