Summary

Despite the world taking a moment to slow down with the lockdown orders related to COVID-19, speed remains paramount in customer service. Due to heightened stress levels across the board, the ability to deliver fast responses to leads, leaving them with fewer uncertainties, holds even greater weight. In the pursuit of delivering speedy customer service in pandemic conditions and an ever-expanding digital space, orthodontic practices should explore adding live chat functionality to their websites.
