How Pet Groomers Use Jodie
New Client: Spring Deshed
The situation: A husky owner calls in April because the spring shedding has started and their house is covered in fur. They want a full deshed and blowout and need to know how soon you can fit them in.
Jodie handles it: Jodie picks up, asks about the dog's breed, coat condition, and what they are looking for. She lets them know you will call back with availability and pricing. You get a text with the full picture.
Mid-Groom, Hands Full
The situation: You're mid-way through a full groom on a large labradoodle, one hand holding the dog steady, the other running clippers, when your phone rings.
Jodie handles it: Jodie answers, takes the caller's name and what they need, and lets them know you will call back once your current appointment is finished. The details are in your inbox when you're done.
Puppy First Groom
The situation: A young couple just got a goldendoodle puppy and want to book its first ever professional groom. They want to know what to expect and the best age to start.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the puppy's breed, age, and their preferred dates. She lets them know you will call back to discuss the first groom process and confirm a time that works.
Evening Inquiry: Salt-Damaged Paws
The situation: A dog owner calls in the evening because their golden retriever has been walking on salted sidewalks all winter. The paw fur is matted and cracked, and they want a paw trim and cleanup as soon as possible.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the details, notes the dog's breed and the issue, and lets the owner know you will call back first thing in the morning with availability. You get the message ready for your next day's schedule.
