Recently, we’ve delved into how to manage and improve your agency’s online reputation, and our upcoming webcast will cover that topic even more. But what about the reputation you create for your company every time you answer the phone? Too often, agencies put a lot of time (sales) and money (ads/SEO/marketing) into getting both potential clients and referral sources to call, but don’t put enough thought and effort into understanding the intake process and buyer psychology. This can result in fewer new clients booked and damage to the agency’s overall reputation.

Intake calls are important for all businesses, but when it comes to aging care, callers are dealing with some heavy issues – seeing changes in parents or other older loved ones that cause them to need help. This can be a stressful situation for callers. Most people calling a home care agency, for example, are likely family caregivers for an aging loved one, are researching home care services for the very first time, and are generally feeling overwhelmed. Additionally, referral sources that reach out to your agency are looking for professionalism, quality, and someone who can provide solutions for their patients and clients. How these potential clients and referrals are treated during an intake call can mean the difference between a sale and a bad word-of-mouth reputation for your agency.

Discover how mystery shopping your agency and your competition can help you improve your intake process, your sales, and your reputation here.
