Can you guess the most important thing for a pet owner when choosing a specific veterinary practice for their furry friend? Affordable prices? The nearest location? Quick service?
While these factors carry their relative importance, pet owners prefer those vets who value their furry companion’s well-being the most! This indicates that successful client relationship management is crucial to your veterinary business.
Here are some benefits a strong client relationship management could bring to your veterinary practice.
1. Customer Loyalty and Retention
Since veterinary practices aren’t massive in scope, the biggest challenge they face is customer retention.
A veterinary business relies on clients’ follow-ups and referrals. When you work on Excel sheets and models to analyze the patient’s past data, it’s time-consuming and complicated. Moreover, if you lose the data, it’s impossible to recover.
A customer relationship management (CRM) software allows you to store the data in a centralized database. It’s easily accessible and backed-up on the cloud server. It also reminds you to send follow-up messages and care notifications, making client loyalty and retention quick and hassle-free.
2. Marketing and Promotion
Though marketing the services may not be a veterinarian’s top priority, it’s essential for business growth and expansion, especially in a competitive environment. You make sure your client is informed and educated about the business’s latest services and products.
As such, a CRM tool enables a veterinary business to do email marketing and circulating newsletters and press releases to their clients. The automation enhances your outreach opportunities and saves time for critical business activities.
Some software like AIMedPortal ™ allows you to communicate and engage automatically with your clients via social media pages, digital ads, or blogs.
3. Customer Data Security
Patient data security is very significant when you’re dealing with their financial information and history. And tools such as Access or Excel don’t support advanced security features. A CRM software secures your data in a safe database and triggers you if there’s any data duplication.
4. Client Ease and Satisfaction
The general rule to win client satisfaction is to offer a value-added service—something that’s not provided by your competitor and reduces the client’s burden. These include online payment methods, automatic appointment rescheduling by clients, feline extra-care tips, or circulating vaccine information and reminders. With ordinary systems, the provision of these value-added services isn’t possible.
However, good CRM software gives you access to your patients to perform all these functions from home. This enhances your goodwill and business reputation in the market.
