About Front Desk Secrets

Youโ€™ve probably heard of the KISS principle: โ€œKeep it simple stupid.โ€ Over the years, I have seen that applying this principle to business increases efficiency, productivity, and profit. I bring this up because many of you may read this book and think, โ€œIt canโ€™t be that simpleโ€ฆ โ€œDo you mean if we just call the leads quicklyโ€ฆtext them right awayโ€ฆthen we will get more starts?โ€ Well, to be honest, it is a little more complicated than that. But not by much! Thatโ€™s why I wrote this book.

It all starts with having the right people. You can actually throw experience out of the window. If your scheduling team doesnโ€™t have the right PERSONALITY and the right MINDSET, it just wonโ€™t work. Think back to a bad customer service experience you had, maybe even at a doctor’s office. Was the front desk exceptional? Were you contacted quickly? At check-in, was there a frosted glass window separating you from a standoffish team member who said as little as possible in a monotone voice? Did you have to wait longer than five or ten minutes to be called back?

Now, think back to a great experience. Maybe it was at Chick-fil-A, Starbucks, The Ritz, or a local business. What made the experience great? Was the first touch a WOW? Someone probably stood out on both occasions. Attitude and mindset make a HUGE difference.
