Crafting Exceptional Customer Experiences

By Stephen TweedSCT Smal Photo

Yesterday, I was down in Macon, Georgia presenting our workshop, "Serving More Clients in Private Duty Home Care."  The first section of the workshop is focused on creating competitive advantage in the marketplace.  We had an excellent conversation with the 25 private duty home care owners and administrators who were in the room.  I was delighted to find that half of the participants came from Georgia, and half from other states including California, Texas, Arkansas, and the Carolinas.
 
The conversation about seven sources of competitive advantage in home care was particularly interesting, and the group really got into talking about the differences in their local markets, and how they needed to understand their competitors before selecting their unique factor. 

 


Exceptional Home Care from the Consumer Perspective 
  
Put yourself in the shoes of your clients and their families.  What are the elements of home care that are important to them?  What makes home care customers satisfied, dissatisfied, or enthusiastic?  What are the factors they consider when selecting a home care company.

Imagine an interactive presentation with a pioneer in Home Care who is also a consumer of home care services who will give you the "customer's eye view" of an exceptional home care company.  Jason Tweed is the former editor of Private Duty Today, the leading electronic newsletter for owners and CEOs of private duty home care companies.  He's also physically disabled, lives in a wheelchair, and uses the services of home care on a daily basis.

How Does Your Performance
Measure Up?

The Annual Private Duty Benchmarking Study is sponsored each year by Home Care Pulse and the National Private Duty Association (Learn more about our sponsors here.). They partnered in 2009 with a simple goal in mind - to help home care businesses find greater success by providing true standards and best practices for the industry.

 

Today, the Annual Private Duty Benchmarking Study is - by far - the industry's largest, most trusted study. The study survey is conducted online each year by Home Care Pulse, who also compiles the study findings into the Annual Benchmarking Report. The annual report provides comprehensive data from hundreds of agencies across the country on business performance, including:

  • Profit and Loss
  • Referral Growth
  • Client Satisfaction
  • Caregiver Turnover
  • Compensation and Overtime
  • Best Practices
  • Leading Agencies

...and more!
