Call Analysis and Recommendations
Regrettably, this Team Member seems bent on screening the caller and getting off the phone as quickly as possible.
When we hear calls like this, we suspect a clear message is being sent (either explicitly or perhaps subconsciously) from ‘above’ that the office ‘cannot be bothered’ with connecting with any but the most highly qualified prospective patient. The consequence of this is that the practice does not grow as quickly, or help as many people as it otherwise could, and the Practice Owner and Team don’t even know it!
Using the guidelines as presented in The TAFI Introduction™, evaluate the Team Member’s ability at:
- Establishing Rapport
- Conveying Empathy
- Exuding Enthusiasm
- Asking the right questions in the right way at the right time
and - Employing active listening technique to learn what’s important to the caller
The one thing the caller did well was to Gain and Maintain Control of the call. Unfortunately, she did this to the exclusion of the above.
