Emotions are contagious; what emotions are you catching from your EHR vendor? In this latest installment of our blog series, Customer Service: The Lost Art, we will explore the importance of the simple yet underutilized practice of smiling.

Smiling Communicates a State of Mind
Smiling isn’t just an expression; it gives others a look into what’s happening in your mind. Smiling influences people’s brand perception and their customer satisfaction since it tells others that you are happy, pleasant, and sincere.

A Smile Communicates Attitude
Smiling tells a story beyond first impressions; it is a personal touch that is the foundation of excellent customer service. Smiling says we truly want to serve our clients, going above and beyond to meet each and every one of their needs.
A Smile is an Invitation
Smiling sets a tone that helps establish rapport and trust. In a world of ever expanding technology, smiling helps bring back the human element to client-vendor interactions.
