Communication is the ability to be heard and understood.

Wouldn’t you agree?

The outcome of communication is a response of some sort either verbal or with an action.

From time to time communication can fail and fall down.

I know this because it happens to me from time to time.

I am always working on my communication skills but often in my haste and poor decision making, it can fail.

Do you find from time to time this also happens to you?

It can be a missed email, a misunderstanding and not being clear about the next step or a big error on your part.

In your business you are always trying your best to offer excellent customer service and care but there are times when something falls apart in your communication and a bad situation develops.

What you do next is the most important part of the communication failure.

Now you have an opportunity to make it up to your patient.

This is what we call in the Customer Service Profession, Customer Service Recovery.

This is the part of Customer Service that really proves you are offering Excellent Customer Service.

This is the part that people overlook.

When you fail to deliver customer service and care to your patients you now have the opportunity to do something to make up for the fail.

How do you make up for giving your patient a bad experience?

You need to do something amazing to recover from the bad situation or experience you have delivered to your patient.

Every time you have fall down in your customer service and care, record it and make a note of what you did to make up for the bad customer service and care your patient received.

Every business should have a Customer Service System that is easy to follow. A system that contains all of your Customer Service Procedures. A system that explains to everyone on your team what you expect from them, when it comes to customer service and patient experience in your dental office.

Allow your team to record amazing customer service experiences they have delivered to patients and celebrate this as a team win.

Delivering excellent customer service is very contagious. Once your team see others on their team doing this then they too will join in and ensure your patients receive the care you want and expect.

A Customer Service Recovery System is also very important. When you or your team fall down in delivering customer service to your patients, then record these fails and what you did to make up for the fail in customer service.

I know most dental offices are not doing this. They focus on Customer Service now and then when they have enough time in the day.

You will never regret taking the time to set up a Customer Service System in your practice and the best news is that you will have it forever.

While other practices stumble over delivering customer service, trying to provide their patients with an experience, you will be getting it right.
