How Pet Groomers Use Jodie
New Client: Doodle Groom
The situation: A goldendoodle owner found you on Google and wants to book a full groom. The coat is matted from skipping a few months, and they want to discuss whether a shave-down or a dematting session is the better option.
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 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 couple just got an Australian shepherd 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: Muddy Dog
The situation: A dog owner calls after hours because their border collie came back from the dog park covered in mud and burrs. They want the earliest available appointment.
Jodie handles it: Jodie takes the details, notes the dog's breed and the state of its coat, 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.
