In this episode of the Podiatry Marketing podcast, hosts Jim McDannald, DPM, and Tyson Franklin discuss the critical role of the front desk person or receptionist in a podiatry business.
They emphasize that this role is not just about answering phones but is pivotal in representing the clinic's brand and ensuring a positive patient experience. They highlight the importance of selecting someone who is not only hospitable and professional but also fits the business's image and standards.

The discussion covers various aspects such as appearance, communication skills, handling online communications, dealing with complaints, and the necessity of ongoing training and education. Jim and Tyson argue that the front desk personnel should embody the values and professionalism of the clinic both inside and out and stress the distinction between the roles of a receptionist and a practice manager.

The episode also touches on the challenges and strategies for managing inherited staff when taking over an existing practice.
