Effective Communication
Learn tools to help you communicate more effectively with patients and staff in the office!
Good communication ability is vital for anyone to have. And when we say “communication,” we don’t mean just talking. We’ve all been talking since we were toddlers. We mean how to communicate effectively.
Obviously it’s incredibly important in the area of case acceptance and sales, so you can get your patients to understand their treatment plants and smoothly guide them through the financial discussion and payment. But if you’re interacting with patients in any way, whether it’s assisting the doctor with patients, scheduling, answering the phones, or doing collections, your success will ultimately depend on your ability to communicate effectively with these patients.
And if you’re a manager or executive looking to improve your leadership skills, a leader needs to have the ability to communicate well to get their message across and be understood, so they can gain the support of others and get things done quickly.
Luckily, it’s a skill that can be learned!
We’ll show you the exact procedure of successful communication, and how you build a strong rapport with anyone and ensure they understand you clearly.
This Effective Communication Course will also provide the foundation for many other courses that will be added in the future, including more advanced case acceptance training and others.
