How Customer Feedback Should Shape Your Medical Clinic

Feedback in Business:

  • Recognize the value of all feedback, whether positive or negative.
  • Use negative feedback to identify areas for improvement and win customers over.
  • Leverage positive feedback to reinforce successful strategies and practices.
  • Automated Feedback System:
    • Implement automated surveys to gather feedback from every customer after their visit.
    • Direct satisfied customers (5-star ratings) to leave reviews on platforms like Google.
    • Regularly ask for and act on feedback to refine services and enhance customer experience.
  • Follow-Up with Non-Buyers:
    • Reach out to potential customers who did not make a purchase to understand their reasons.
    • Engage with them to see if they are still interested, and address any concerns.
    • Use this feedback to identify gaps in service or areas where improvements are needed.
  • Focusing on Core Offerings:
    • Stay true to your business’s core services and avoid expanding into unrelated areas.
    • Ensure any new services align with your existing brand and marketing strategy.
    • Avoid diluting your focus by taking on too many different services, as it can harm both marketing and revenue.
  • Customer Surveys and Market Testing:
    • Use customer surveys to understand client needs and preferences.
    • Test new markets and services based on consistent feedback while staying within core business pillars.
  • Service and Pricing Adjustments:
    • Adjust services, packaging, and pricing based on customer feedback to enhance value and experience.
    • Example: Combining CoolSculpting or M Sculpt Neo with weight loss medications for eligible clients to improve outcomes.
  • Importance of Online Reviews:
    • Encourage customers to leave reviews to boost online presence and improve SEO rankings.
    • Utilize tools like review placards and QR codes to make it easy for customers to leave feedback.
  • Staff Incentives for Reviews:
    • Set a standard for staff to achieve a minimum number of 5-star reviews monthly.
    • Link bonuses to meeting these review goals to motivate staff to deliver exceptional service.
  • Core Values and Staff Importance:
    • Prioritize your staff’s well-being and alignment with the company’s core values (e.g., accountability, teamwork, integrity).
    • Ensure staff are supported and heard, even when customer complaints arise.
    • Recognize that staff retention is crucial and often more cost-effective than replacing lost customers.
  • Handling Difficult Customers:
    • Address negative reviews by reaching out to customers, understanding their concerns, and offering solutions.
    • Use difficult interactions as learning opportunities and strive to convert unhappy customers into loyal advocates.
  • Standards and Accountability:
    • Maintain high standards of service and hold staff accountable for upholding the company’s values and customer service quality.
    • Implement a principle-based approach where staff are more valued than customers in maintaining business integrity.
  • Turning Feedback into Opportunities:
    • View all feedback as a chance to grow and improve the business.
    • Understand that positive resolutions of negative experiences can turn customers into strong referral sources.
