AACC 2017 Booth Presentation: Earning Customer Loyalty through Tough Love
Laboratories and our clinician customers both aim for high quality patient care. Often, these providers behave in ways that limit our ability to deliver optimal lab testing. And often, laboratories accommodate that behavior in the interest of customer service. The solution? Laboratories must move from a traditional “the customer is always right” mindset to one of true partnership and shared accountability. This can paradoxically increase customer satisfaction and loyalty. I’ll show how this approach has proved successful in companies outside healthcare.
Originally presented on August 2, 2017, in San Diego, California.
