Dispensing audiologists increasingly find themselves pitted against new competitive forces that can purchase products for less and often don’t have the same expenses in terms of patient acquisition and overhead costs. “10 Winning Tips for Patient Loyalty” looks at ways to regain the edge and utilize your strengths through differentiation and proven patient satisfaction methods. The event will also provide two examples of new unique technologies designed for patient education and enhanced patient management: Clear Digital Media and Solution Reach.
The 1-hour session concludes with a Q & A, and attendees are welcome to enjoy a more informal discussion, as well as complimentary beer, wine, and hors d’oeuvres, following the presentation.
