We focus on lasers and injectors, but what if med spa success hinges on the overlooked? This week, Leisa argues the front desk is your most valuable player.
Leisa challenges the view of receptionists as mere order takers. She shares clinic visits marked by phone-scrolling indifference and awkward personal chats, highlighting the front desk’s impact on the patient experience. So, what makes a top-tier team? A team that’s polished, professional, service-savvy, not just friendly. She slams street clothes and unprofessional details, emphasizing strong communication, service knowledge, and the ability to handle difficult clients.
It’s about who they are, not just what they do. Leisa warns against hiring shy or unenthusiastic people, advocating a “Goldilocks” approach: not too bubbly, not too cold. She offers interview tips to spot red flags and find those passionate about patient care.
Training is crucial, as vital as expensive equipment. Leisa’s analogy: a Ferrari driven by a novice. Technology is useless without a skilled team. The front desk isn’t just a chair; it’s your business’s foundation. They’re gatekeepers of good vibes, key to patient retention, and revenue growth drivers.
