We hope you enjoy this episode!
QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE
“One of the fascinating things about Cliniko is that it is so user-driven and user-based; there’s a strong community there and you seem to be very responsive. And that probably speaks to the type of company that you’ve built.”
“Every company has a different context. You can try to copy how another company behaves, but they have different customers, different size, different origins - whatever it might be, there’s a whole bunch of constraints and reasons that impact how that company behaves.”
“If I look worldwide, we get hundreds of applicants everytime we offer a job.”
“Transparency and being open and honest with you clients wins everytime. When you’re trying to protect and hide things from a clinic point of view, clients can sniff a rat a mile away. Sowing that transparency means you get the quality of clients and essentially a raving fan network.”
