Veterinary Clinic Success Stories

Veterinary Clinics Improving Client Communication

Veterinary clinics using Joy answer more pet owner calls, schedule more appointments, and provide faster responses to concerned pet owners.

I’m having a great experience so far with SAS answering service. Im happy the way my business script is being utilized currently. The last call was done by Brittany and she did phenomenal. I was very happy with the way the call was conducted. She used the proper greeting, listened to the customers questions and then instructed the customer to please wait while she scan the script for the answer to the customers question. When she found the answer she executed the proper answer. I was impressed and happy.
Looking forward to listening to more calls that are executed in similar fashion.

I was updating my account to include a different number and additional users with access to the account.
I was expecting to be transferred to multiple people and having to repeat the request every time.
I got a live customer service rep on the 2nd ring, started to explain what I wanted, she understood before I finished, set up the changes, was extremely pleasant the entire time, and finished the entire transaction in minutes!
