Effective Consultation

‘Oh by the way, can you check out…. right now as well’. How can you make sure the client’s expectation matches what you can offer in the time of one consultation? And that you get the patient chart completed in the same time?

In brief

  • Identifying customer needs and managing expectations
  • Motivating owners to choose the best option for their animal
  • Getting your consultation completed in the time available
  • Practical tips and a step-by-step plan for a structured consultation

Be relaxed and confident in the consultation room

A large part of your job involves motivating and advising your clients. You want to put the owner and patient at ease, gather all the necessary information, examine the patient and draw up a plan of action. And all that in the short time a consultation takes. That is quite a challenge. The Effective Consultation training helps you do just that. You are given practical tips, tools and a step-by-step plan that you can use immediately. You learn communication techniques to keep a grip on your consultation. This will prevent you from running late and the client will have a better idea of what to expect in that one consultation. The trainers are professionals who understand the veterinary practice. The training can be extended with an e-learning module. This Consult Toolbox contains the most important communication theory, followed by real-life conversation simulations in a virtual environment with recognisable and challenging situations from practice.

What will you learn?

  • You bring structure to your consultation and keep the lead yourself
  • You will collect a lot of valuable information quickly with the right questions
  • You will learn to turn the client’s expectations into an achievable plan
  • You will learn to minimize running out of time for your consultation by using your consultation time effectively
  • You get practical tips to be more relaxed and self-confident in the consultation room
