Participant Feedback

When asked what aspects of the course liked best some responses were:

...Great course, it's a pleasure listening to Dr. Wooten lecture. Entertaining and educational.

...I valued the speaker's insight and comments and her own experience in the field (16 years). I valued what she taught and her pictures/examples/videos of scenarios.

...I found the most valuable part to be the emphasis on clear/consistent communication and the idea that it is ok if the client still declines based on money, because you can still make a positive difference even if you didn't control the outcome.

...This course helped me be more comfortable having financial conversations with clients.

 

Course Focus and Learning Objectives

VetCE on Demand: Master the Money Conversation and Move Your Clients to Yes utilizes the archive of a live presentation under the same name.

This course examines the difficulties surrounding money conversations with clients. This includes: what is really going on, its complicated, and more importantly, how to work with client resistance. Conversate with an elevated level of awareness and confidence so that you get more compliance, adherence, and most importantly, have fun while doing it.

After completion of this course, the student should be able to:

  • outline the complicated factors involved in conversations regarding costs of care with a client.
  • list core beliefs about money and explain how these affect the ability to manage effective financial conversations with confidence and charge what services are worth.
  • discuss the value of perspective talking when preparing for and having financial conversations with clients.
  • explain how client fears and past experiences can impact financial discussions
  • list calming strategies to keep conversations constructive and on point.
  • discuss how clients perceive value in veterinary services and how to increase value in the eyes of the client.
  • outline what to do when the client is declined due to financial reasons
