Heather Nottingham, VP of Training and Phone Skills Instructor at All-Star Dental Academy joins the show to discuss sizzling-up phone skills. Heather has over 24 years' worth of customer service, training, and phone skills experience and designed the All-Star Dental Academy Phone Success course and the GREAT Call® Process. Heather created the GREAT Call® Process by working in a dental practice for so long and having her own system and process. She noticed that the approaches to phone skills were either theoretical or script-based, so she wanted to create something more recipe-like and easier for team members to remember.
