Release Date: June 15, 2020

Expiration Date: December 31, 2022

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion of this course you should understand:

  1. Learn how to use engagement and connectivity between the patient and the entire practice to guide the patient and deliver the best optical retail experience
  2. Learn how to connect a patient need to an emotion
  3. Learn how to present the brand/product story

Course Description:

Get an inside look at the 10 golden rules of connectivity to help you better engage with your patient as well as establish authenticity and trust during the product dispensing cycle. You will learn of a new, more effective method of guiding the patient/consumer experience by utilizing a new order in the handoff process, one that is distinct to refraction for eyewear selection versus a comprehensive eye exam. The handoff to the dispensary immediately follows the refraction marrying the problem and solution. Then the patient receives a comprehensive eye exam to determine the health of the eye. This distinction between refractive status and correction apart from eye health exam changes the flow of the patient/consumer journey to better align with the two distinct services performed during their visit.
