The Front of House Development Programme - a final call to join 145 registered practices

Commencing Thursday 15th April I’m working with ADAM President Lisa Bainham to begin a 12-week journey with a community of Front of House team members, intended to grow their skill and confidence as we emerge from lockdown restrictions in to the “new normal” of dental practice. Plus, all dental businesses participating in the FOH Development Programme will enjoy three months of complimentary access to The Extreme Business Coaching programme. Would you like to join us? The Need

The demand for both long term care and cosmetic dentistry are growing, as we emerge from a year of lockdown and restrictions into a renewed freedom to “commune” with family, friends and colleagues.

People are more health-conscious than they have been for generations, and dental health and appearance are a key part of that.

Practices are reporting record numbers of new patient enquiries - many looking for a regular practice with whom to register; others looking for dentistry that will build their own confidence - from invisible braces, through smile makeovers to implant and restorative treatment.

Business is booming in the independent private sector and across all patient demographics. The dental market is set to become more competitive, and savvy patients expect a polished customer service experience. The FOH team member in 2021 has to be articulate, well informed and agile - able to answer questions on the availability of and options for practice membership and around specific areas of treatment. Equally able to handle FAQs and patient concerns, whilst coping with the demands of a busy working day and, sometimes, people who are anxious or angry. There is too much going on now to leave front desk competency to chance. The Benefit Delegates on our new Front of House Development Programme will benefit from weekly training delivered by two experienced industry leaders, as well as the online support of a nationwide community of like-minded team members. Our 12-week Programme will guide delegates through the roles and responsibilities of the 2021 FOH team and focus on specific skills to assist in maintaining a smooth workflow, excellent communication and a high level of conversions from enquiry to consult. The Programme will combine direct training within a supportive learning & coaching community.
