The schedule has a hole in it. Now what?Maya and Reese build the waitlist system that actually works for a veterinary front desk: how to bucket the list so the right pet gets the call, the dressed promise (what to say so clients actually call back), the board where the list lives so the next shift can see it, and the twice-daily sweep that keeps the whole thing honest. Word-for-word scripts included, plus what to never say on a waitlist call.Also in this episode: cat visits are growing for the third straight year, and the desk move that keeps kittens from disappearing off your schedule.
