We’ve been working on a new logo— and it’s about to go live. Here&#8217;s a quick overview to keep you in the know.
&nbsp;
Why did we do it?
You may have loved our old logo, and we did, too. However, Weave is growing at an incredibly rapid pace. To accommodate that growth, it is imperative we have a brand that can handle the innovative direction in which we’re headed.

&nbsp;
Possibility
Weave has incredible potential in so many areas. We are explorers and endless experimenters. We’re not afraid to try, fail, and learn our way to the best experiences across the board for our customers. We’re not perfect, but, hey, that’s a possibility we’re pursuing.

Weave Sales Team Celebrates Record-Breaking Quarter

Dear Customer,
With 2017 now upon us, I want to take an opportunity to let you know that we have been working around the clock to make drastic improvements to our underlying infrastructure to deliver the service that you expect from us. We believe that all of the major kinks have been worked out, but we aren’t done. There is still work to do.
Here is our promise to you: We will be relentless in our efforts to deliver the highest quality product. We won’t give up. Weave will continue to get better because we won’t quit until it is the best.
Perseverance is a fundamental part of our DNA as a company. We installed our first customer in 2012. We added 150 customers in 2012 and 2013. It was slow growth. We had a product with a lot of promise but struggled to get it into the hands of customers. We did everything we could to make it better. No investors wanted to fund us. I emptied out my bank account, liquidated my retirement fund, and sold my cars to keep Weave alive during those early years. We didn’t quit when things got hard. We believed that our customers wanted Weave in their offices, so we did everything we could to make that happen. We persevered and stayed determined.
In 2016, we doubled the number of locations using Weave. We now provide service to 3,000 locations throughout the U.S. What a change from 2012! In the last 3 years, we have raised $23m in funding from some of the most well respected investors in Silicon Valley. Weave started out with the idea that small businesses needed better communication tools. The market has responded in the affirmative. We must keep going.
&#8220;I&#8217;m convinced that about half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.” — Steve Jobs, CEO and Founder of Apple.
It would be absurd of us to give up now, to change who we are as a company, to change what has brought us so much success — so we aren’t going to. As the CEO of Weave, I won’t let it happen. We are in it for the long haul. The world needs Weave and we need to up our game to deliver.
We promise that things will get fixed quickly and that the worry about Weave working will turn into excitement for what Weave will do next. We believe that everything in life is earned and that nothing is given. We are going to work relentlessly to earn that trust, respect, and excitement from you.
The team is focused on securing our foundation before we try to push forward anymore. We aren’t focusing on growth, but focusing on making sure our product does what you expect it to do: work. First, we’ll get your confidence back. After that, and only after that, we’ll get back to work on the future of communication for your business.
Let’s make 2017 the best year ever.
Sincerely, 
Brandon Rodman, CEO &amp; Founder

Our Promise to Our Customers

Weave Named #2 in Utah TechX Top Ten

<h3>Weaving professional, social care: Start-up on entrepreneur radar &#8211; Daily Herald</h3>
By Cathy Allred
PLEASANT GROVE &#8212; Brandon and Jared Rodman could be fraternal twins. With the similarity in their appearance, mannerisms and most importantly, their apparent bond as a team, they are on the fast track for their young company called Weave.
Based in Pleasant Grove&#8217;s business park, Weave is a telephone company specifically designed for dental practices. But what does that mean?
&#8220;That doesn&#8217;t make us different from the other phone companies. What makes us different from the other telephone companies is that we have developed software that combines our telephone service with all of their patients&#8217; data,&#8221; CEO Brandon Rodman, the older by three years, said.
All the family history, billing and other data is stored and available during a phone conversation to dental staff.
&#8220;They are going to be able to accomplish more with one phone call, offer a better patient customer service and hopefully create customer loyalty and better patient relationships,&#8221; he said.
The unique system also saves time. When the office phone rings, Weave&#8217;s program automatically launches a pop-up to identify the patient and patient-specific information, allowing the office staff to personalize each call with a conversation concerning billing, birthdays, well-being, appointments and names.
&#8220;All of these things will pop up automatically for them and they won&#8217;t have to say, &#8216;Hold on, who am I speaking with again?&#8217; and then &#8216;Let me put you on hold, how do you spell your last name?&#8217; &#8221;
It wasn&#8217;t more than two years ago that the Rodman brothers made a hard pivot on their business from an appointment scheduling call service to the personal information service program for dental staff.
In November 2011, they installed the new system for their first client.
&#8220;OK, this is what we are doing now, there is no going back,&#8221; Brandon Rodman said they thought at the time.
&#8220;Installing for that first dental practice was really interesting. We thought we knew a lot. We had spent eight months or so developing and working on things, getting a prototype. We installed it in the first office and it didn&#8217;t work,&#8221; Brandon Rodman said.
They started at 6 p.m. after the dental office closed for the day and stayed through the night. By 6 a.m., it still wasn&#8217;t working correctly.
&#8220;We have learned that every dental practice, every one is different. Having worked with tons and tons of dental practices now we&#8217;ve seen almost all the scenarios,&#8221; he said.
They may not have seen all the possible setups yet, but he said he feels confident after installing so many that they can customize a system to every new situation.
&#8220;It was probably about six months before we felt completely confident to say &#8216;OK, here we go,&#8217; &#8221; Brandon Rodman said.
Since that first client, the business has grown from three full-time staff to 16, from eight part-time to 25. A big milestone occurred when the founders began receiving a regular paycheck.
&#8220;There were times when my wife and I didn&#8217;t know how we were going to pay our mortgage, our savings account had been drained, we had sold our cars, we were borrowing a car from a family member. To get through some of the hard times we withdrew out our retirement and put some back into the company,&#8221; he said.
Their commitment paid off and the founders were recognized as No. 12 in the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum&#8217;s Top 25 under 5. That classifies it a startup to watch in Utah County.
&#8220;We were shocked by that, we thought we would never make it in there,&#8221; he said.
The business is scalable, meaning the company product can be scaled to other types of businesses, although that hasn&#8217;t happened yet, Brandon Rodman said. With more than 160,000 dental practices in the United States, they have enough to keep themselves busy for a long time.
Growing a startup has given the brothers confidence and resiliency that has been wrought through the test of building a business. They didn&#8217;t grow it alone, however.
&#8220;The company wouldn&#8217;t be where it is today without the support of our family,&#8221; Brandon Rodman said.
As a child, he said he never thought he would be an entrepreneur. If you had asked him as a kid, he wanted to be a baseball player or a cartoonist.
As he grew older, he got interested in dentistry. Part of the BYU dentistry program involved students shadowing a dentist.
&#8220;After doing that for a couple of hours, I decided I didn&#8217;t want to be a dentist anymore,&#8221; he said.
He stumbled across a call center software program and decided he would open a call center &#8212; but they had to have something to sell. About this time, he approached his younger brother.
&#8220;Brandon had come to me and said, &#8216;Hey, I have this great idea for a business. I already have some legs started here and I could use your help doing it,&#8217; and at that point it was for a dental call service,&#8221; COO Jared Rodman said.
They worked in the older brother&#8217;s home in a room that was hot and stuffy.
&#8220;Honestly the way it started for me was as just a job for me and I helped out with a lot of stuff; and partly, he&#8217;s my brother &#8212; I&#8217;m going to help out as much as I can,&#8221; Jared Rodman said.
As the business began to progress, more and more opportunities became available for Jared Rodman. He pushed himself because he didn&#8217;t want the rest of the company&#8217;s staff to think his brother favored him. And for his brother, he was more comfortable pushing Jared Rodman because of their relationship.
When the brothers went home, they wouldn&#8217;t quit working. Jared Rodman would lie awake at night wondering what he could improve in their company. He said one thing they have fought to preserve is their company&#8217;s culture.
&#8220;We have been incredibly lucky to find amazing talent fresh out of school who are young and eager,&#8221; he said. Those on payroll are willing to do what they can to work as a team and grow the still young business.
The Rodmans have advice for those who want to try their hand at being an entrepreneur.
&#8220;Be extremely resilient. Everything is going to tell you are not going to succeed, most business don&#8217;t succeed; and I don&#8217;t think that you can go into it with that type of mentality.
&#8220;This was the hardest thing I&#8217;ve ever done in my life, everything is going to crash down around me, but I am going to figure out a way to get through everything,&#8221; Brandon Rodman said.

Digital.com Announces Weave on Best Dental Software For The Year 2021 (List)

SAN FRANCISCO (September 16, 2020) – Weave, the complete business toolbox for service-based businesses and one of the fastest-growing companies in tech, has been named to the Forbes 2020 Cloud 100. The list is a definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. This is the second year in a row that the Utah-based Weave has received this honor. 
&nbsp;
“We are honored to be listed alongside these incredible companies, especially talent from the tech scene here in Utah,” said Clint Berry, Chief Technology Officer at Weave. “We see this as evidence that our people-first approach is working and want to continue to take care of our employees and customers as much as possible.”     
&nbsp;
Weave’s presence on the list comes after being named a Forbes Next Billion-Dollar Startup in May 2020. The software company was dubbed “Utah’s next unicorn” by TechCrunch when it <a href="https://www.getweave.com/weave-raises-70-million-round-valuation-jumps-by-3-2x-in-the-past-10-months-to-970-million/">raised its Series D</a>, led by Tiger Global Management in October 2019. 
 
The Cloud 100 Judging Panel, made up of public cloud company CEOs, reviewed the data to select, score, and rank the top 100 private cloud companies from all over the world. 
&nbsp;
“The private cloud ecosystem continues to mature in light of rapid digital transformations, making the competition to land one of the coveted spots on the Cloud 100 list steeper than ever,” said Byron Deeter, a top cloud investor, and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “Private cloud valuations are getting bigger as the market’s appetite for cloud continues to grow. Over the past five years, the average Cloud 100 valuation has grown by a tremendous 2.5x, from $1 billion in 2016 to $2.7 billion in 2020. In fact, our 2020 Cloud 100 includes over 87 private cloud unicorns! These founders represent the absolute best in cloud computing today, and they will most certainly follow in the footsteps of our esteemed Cloud 100 alumni. More than a third of the companies of the Cloud 100 have exited either via strategic M&amp;A, financial M&amp;A or Initial Public Offering. Congratulations to these cloud leaders!”
&nbsp;
“In the face of this unprecedented time, digital is an urgent imperative, and the pace of innovation is accelerating. Companies around the globe, across all industries must adopt cloud technologies to enable their digital transformation,” said Matt Garratt, Managing Partner, Salesforce Ventures. “The opportunity is massive for the cloud &#8212; there are now more than 25 public SaaS companies valued at over $10 billion whereas even five years ago there were only three. Sectors from collaboration and security to retail and healthcare, are being disrupted and becoming more digital. Salesforce Ventures is excited to be partnering with Bessemer Venture Partners and Forbes for the fifth year in a row to recognize those who are not just predicting what’s coming but working to create the future.”
 
“For five years now, we have ranked the best and brightest emerging companies in the cloud sector,” said Alex Konrad, Forbes editor of The Cloud 100. “With so many businesses growing fast in the cloud, from data infrastructure to marketing, it’s harder than ever to make the Cloud 100 list – but with more elite company if you do. Congratulations to each of the 2020 Cloud 100 honorees and the 20 Rising Stars honorees poised to join their ranks!” 
 
The Forbes 2020 Cloud 100 and 20 Rising Stars lists are published online at<a href="http://www.forbes.com/cloud100"> www.forbes.com/cloud100</a> and will appear in the September 2020 issue of Forbes magazine.

In 2014, Weave was the first Utah-based company to be accepted to Y-Combinator. Since the founders’ training and extensive hard work to go from early-stage to now late-stage startup with a valuation of $970M, the internal values of being hungry, caring, and creative have remained integral to the fabric of the tech company’s culture.  
&nbsp;
Collecting data from more than 3,000 submissions, Inc. singled out 395 finalists for this year’s list. Each nominated company took part in an employee survey, conducted by Quantum Workplace, on topics including trust, management effectiveness, perks, and confidence in the future. Inc. gathered, analyzed, and audited the data, then ranked all the employers using a composite score of survey results.
&nbsp;
The strongest engagement scores came from companies that prioritize the most human elements of work. These companies are leading the way in employee recognition, performance management, and diversity. It is a different playbook from a decade ago when too many firms used the same template: free food, open work environments, and artifacts of “fun.”
&nbsp;
“I’m grateful that Weave is being recognized for the second year in a row by Inc. But I know that’s because our team members have always come first,” said Brandon Rodman, Chief Executive Officer at Weave. “They are the ones who do all the work. Our goal remains to create the best possible environment for them to build, sell, and support our product. When we delight customers, profits and growth follow. That’s the order in which we do things at Weave, and that will never change.” 
&nbsp;
“Building a great corporate culture comes only from strong leadership,” says Inc. magazine editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “The companies on Inc.’s Best Workplaces list are setting an example that the whole country can learn from, especially now, when company culture is more important to the workforce than ever.”
&nbsp;
While researching the finalists, Inc. and Quantum saw distinct themes: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">100 percent provide health insurance.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">50 percent allow employees to bring pets to work.</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">62 percent take employees to offsite retreats to relax and recharge.  </li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;">20 percent offer paid sabbaticals to reward length of service.</li>
</ul>

Try the New Pet Reminder for Vets

In today’s business world, there’s a growing demand for B2C (business-to-consumer) texting. Businesses that require appointments be set in advance are even more likely to need dependable text messaging with their clients. 78% of people now want to be able to have text conversations with the businesses they frequent.<a href="https://www.localproject.net/docs/texting-stats/#:~:text=78%25%20of%20people%20wish%20they,and%20making%20or%20confirming%20reservations." target="_blank" rel="noopener">¹</a>
The veterinary industry is no exception to the trend toward increased business texting. Veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and their office managers are all on the lookout for efficient ways to text with customers.<a href="https://www.veterinarypracticenews.com/13-ways-to-text-your-veterinary-clients/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">²</a> However, the way texting services sync with their practice management systems has often slowed the process of transitioning to more text conversations with pet owners.
At Weave, our product team noticed this demand for <a title="Texting for Vet Clinics: 4 Reasons Millennials Want Texts from Their Vet" href="https://www.getweave.com/texting-for-vet-clinics-4-reasons-millennials-want-texts-from-their-vet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">business texting</a> <a href="https://www.getweave.com/texting-for-vet-clinics-4-reasons-millennials-want-texts-from-their-vet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">³</a>and the clumsiness of some communication integrations for veterinary offices, so they took action. Their hard work led to the creation of our Pet Reminder feature. This feature is designed to keep the animals you serve healthy, pet owners on schedule, and your business productive by providing timely reminders for upcoming appointments at your clinic.
To better understand the inspiration, benefits, and functionality behind our Pet Reminders, we are dedicating this blog post to helping our existing and prospective clients understand this new feature. Let’s take a look at why we pursued this unique solution in the first place.
<h2>Why Pet Reminders?</h2>
Pet owners are notoriously busy people. When veterinarians and their staff call pet owners to remind them about upcoming visits, these clients are often out on a walk with their dogs, taking care of their horses, or tending to some other aspect of their animals’ day-to-day needs.
That’s why texting is such a powerful tool for veterinary clinics. Text messages have an incredibly high open rate, <a href="https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2015/07/27/marketing-with-98-percent-read-rate-and-10-more-compelling-stats.html">4</a> ensuring that your practice reaches pet owners and gets animals into the clinic for checkups, procedures, and vaccinations.
If veterinary clinics are unable to effectively remind pet owners of upcoming appointments, there are a few problems that begin to flare up.
<h3>Sick animals</h3>
The primary concern when your customers forget about visits is the health of their animals. While pet owners are rarely going to skip visits when their animals have serious or emergency health conditions, it’s completely normal for routine appointments to slip their mind. Unintentionally skipping on important visits, like vaccinations, can lead to unexpected health problems for the animals you serve.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1016803" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/sick-animal2.jpg" alt="" width="930" height="465" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/sick-animal2.jpg 930w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/sick-animal2-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/sick-animal2-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px" />
<h3>Customer compliance</h3>
Beyond the pressing need to make sure animals are showing up for annual checkups and vaccinations, your job is to help pet owners comply with legal requirements. The law asks pet owners to have their animals vaccinated on a regular basis. Letting your clients know about these requirements with a quick reminder keeps everyone in line.
<h3>Business revenue</h3>
Although most veterinarians get into the industry because they love animals, they’re reminded every day of the business demands involved with running a veterinary clinic. You need to stay busy in order to make money and continue to thrive as an animal health provider. Pet reminders are a powerful way to keep animals and their owners coming into your office, generating the revenue necessary to maintain and grow your practice.

<h2>How do Pet Reminders work?</h2>
For those familiar with or already using Weave, Pet Reminders are remarkably similar to the appointment reminders you would normally send to keep pet owners in the loop about upcoming appointments. However, these pet reminders have additional functionality meant to specifically benefit veterinary clinics.
For those who’ve never used Weave, our appointment reminders are customizable text messages that go out to clients prior to visits, notifying them of things like appointment time, your location, and your health and safety protocol. If your customers have questions, they’re able to start a two-way text conversation with your front desk.
Here are three components that are unique to Weave’s pet reminders:
<h3>1.Automation</h3>
Like our other appointment reminders, Pet Reminders can be set up to go out to your clients in advance, saving you and your staff on the time you spend trying to reach pet owners. Designate the specific date and time you want these reminders to go out, then let the software do the rest of the work for you. Businesses in every industry are using automation to minimize inefficiencies, and veterinary clinics are no exception.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">👇Vets can quickly create Automated Pet Reminders with Weave&#8217;s help👇</h2>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1016783" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/text-reminder-for-vets.jpg" alt="text reminder for vets" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/text-reminder-for-vets.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/text-reminder-for-vets-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/text-reminder-for-vets-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/text-reminder-for-vets-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
<h3>2.Pet-specific texts</h3>
Many of your customers bring multiple pets to your clinic. Generic appointment reminders can lack details like the name of the pet that’s due for a checkup or vaccination. Weave’s Pet Reminders allow you to quickly select and include the animal’s name in your reminder texts. These seemingly minor details help engage pet owners and get the right pet into your practice at the right time.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">👇 A glance at the pet reminder message your client will see👇</h2>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1016770" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/appt-reminder-physical-therapy.jpg" alt="appt reminder physical therapy" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/appt-reminder-physical-therapy.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/appt-reminder-physical-therapy-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/appt-reminder-physical-therapy-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/appt-reminder-physical-therapy-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
<h3>3.Customized appointment types</h3>
It’s crucial that pet owners know not only which of their animals is due for a visit, but the type of appointment. Including the appointment type in your reminder texts increases urgency, especially when a pet needs to come in for a vaccination or a more serious procedure. Our pet reminders let you choose from a dropdown menu of appointment and vaccination types, as well as the species of the animal you’ll be serving.
<h2 style="text-align: center;">👇 Build customized vaccination options with Weave👇</h2>
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1016797" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/pet-vaccination-options.jpg" alt="pet vaccination options" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/pet-vaccination-options.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/pet-vaccination-options-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/pet-vaccination-options-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/pet-vaccination-options-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
<h2>What about integrations?</h2>
As we mentioned in the introduction of this article, some veterinary clinics may have avoided using text reminders until now because reminder features didn’t work in concert with their practice management systems. That’s totally understandable; we know how vital practice management systems are to the health of your practice.
Weave’s pet reminders are available to all AVImark, Cornerstone, and Impromed customers. These integrations are what allow clinics to personalize and customize their appointment reminders with pet names, species, and appointment types. It’s essential that your communication platform work seamlessly with your practice management software.
<h2>Try Weave’s Pet Reminders</h2>
We are proud to offer veterinary practices the opportunity to increase their office efficiency, help pet owners comply with checkup and vaccination requirements, and keep animals healthy with our new pet reminders feature.
These reminders can be automated to save you and your staff time, and the ability to specify the pet’s name makes your outgoing communication more personable. Using our software to include details like vaccine type in your reminder texts increases engagement and keeps business steady. This level of engagement is possible thanks to our integrations with AVImark, Cornerstone, and Impromed.

Pet Reminders: A New Weave Feature for Veterinary Clinics

Financial Prosperity in All Economic Times

The COVID-19 pandemic has presented new challenges for businesses of all sizes. Businesses searching for ways to succeed in a market altered by new public health regulations and consumer preferences need to provide an updated customer experience in order to demonstrate their commitment to the safety of their employees and clients.
Businesses trying to flourish in the new normal have to put a premium on social distancing. Scientists and public health officials have repeatedly emphasized the importance of social distancing in stopping the spread of the virus. The question for businesses has become, “How do we implement social distancing without negatively impacting the customer journey?”
This blog post shows how communication technology allows businesses to continue providing high-quality customer service while promoting good social distancing. We’ve broken the principles of doing business in the new normal into five categories:
<ul>
<li>Minimizing human contact</li>
<li>Maintaining effective communication</li>
<li>Creating a personal touch</li>
<li>Getting more leads and customers</li>
<li>Optimizing your current system</li>
</ul>
Let’s take a look at 15 fresh ideas for economic prosperity in the age of social distancing.
<h2>Minimizing human contact</h2>
By definition, social distancing means minimizing human contact. A number of novel solutions have developed in recent months that are designed to reduce unnecessary human interaction in business offices.
<h3>1. Curbside waiting rooms</h3>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-1012178 size-full" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/curside-waiting.jpg" alt="curside waiting" width="930" height="465" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/curside-waiting.jpg 930w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/curside-waiting-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/curside-waiting-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px" />
Waiting rooms can harbor lots of germs and even disease transmission. Businesses have begun protecting their employees and clients by setting up curbside waiting rooms, also known as digital or virtual waiting rooms.
These safe spaces are created by asking customers to wait outside your building prior to appointments. Businesses ask customers to call or text the front desk to notify them of their arrival, then bring them back once they’re checked in and staff are ready to receive them. This process minimizes human contact beyond the essential services your business renders.
<h3>2. Wellness forms</h3>
Businesses have started screening customers before they walk through their doors. Some do this onsite by taking temperatures, while others have adopted the practice of sending wellness forms to customers before appointments.
Wellness form templates can be shared by text message, and ask customers about their current physical condition, their exposure to potentially infected friends and family, and their recent travel. Inquiring about the health of customers allows them to reflect on their own potential for spreading illness. Sharing wellness forms before appointments minimizes the chance of sick customers walking into your office.
<h3>3. Mobile apps</h3>
One aspect of social distancing we haven’t mentioned yet is remote work. Millions of people have transitioned to full- and part-time remote work this year, if only temporarily. Businesses with a user-friendly mobile app for managing their communication are better positioned to succeed in the new normal.
A mobile app for business communication isn’t limited to calls or texts. It allows businesses to handle every aspect of their organization despite working from home. If businesses want to maintain or exceed their past levels of production, a mobile app increases their ability to do so in spite of social distancing.

<h2>Maintaining effective communication</h2>
Good social distancing also means less in-person communication with employees and customers. The potential difficulties of this adjustment are greatly mitigated by establishing clear and efficient lines of communication.
<h3>4. VoIP phones</h3>
Businesses are limited in their ability to unify communication if they’re still using landlines for their phone system. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phones are the foundation for modern business communication. They let businesses utilize the internet to synthesize their office communication.
When businesses are able to connect their call outreach with other forms of communication, such as texting and emailing, they give their customers more options for engaging with them. More engagement leads to better retention and opens avenues for growth.
<h3>5. Text messages</h3>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-1012186 size-full" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/young-man-texting.jpg" alt="young man texting.jpg" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/young-man-texting.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/young-man-texting-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/young-man-texting-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/young-man-texting-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
While texting is commonplace in our social lives, many businesses have yet to adopt texting as a primary mode of communication with customers. Text messages have a 98% open rate,<a href="https://theblog.adobe.com/marketing-with-98-percent-read-rate-and-10-more-compelling-stats/" rel="nofollow">¹</a> so your business’s messages are more likely to get through to customers this way than by phone.
The younger generation of consumers is particularly fond of texting. Couple this penchant for texting with the demand for social distancing, and it becomes obvious that a text option for business communication will be key for maintaining a viable business in the years to come.
<h3>6. Team chat</h3>
Even before the pandemic and its coinciding social distancing measures, 86% of employees cited a lack of collaboration or ineffective communication for workplace failures.² With many employees now working remotely, it’s imperative that businesses give their staff the ability to communicate effectively from home.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1012164" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Team-chat-communication.jpg" alt="Team chat communication" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Team-chat-communication.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Team-chat-communication-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Team-chat-communication-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Team-chat-communication-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
A team chat fits within your larger communication network keeps your whole organization on the same page. Employees can collaborate, relay information, and brainstorm together no matter their location.
<h2>Creating a personal touch</h2>
For many businesses, in-person conversations are the place where they build rapport with customers and establish a personal connection. Social distancing reduces the opportunities for showing your personal touch. Luckily, the right software enables businesses to manifest their connection with customers in new ways.
<h3>7. Customer insights</h3>
Typically, customers are able to remind administrative team members of their specific needs in conversation at the front desk. With businesses attempting to keep their waiting rooms safe, these conversations are getting cut short.
However, when businesses maintain a detailed record of each customer and save it on software that’s linked with their phone system, these personal insights are available to receptionists as soon as clients call your office. By having names, birthdays, preferences, upcoming appointments, and outstanding balances at staff’s fingertips, businesses can simultaneously demonstrate their commitment to individuals and social distancing.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1011067" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/customer-insights-full-width.jpg" alt="customer insights full width" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/customer-insights-full-width.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/customer-insights-full-width-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/customer-insights-full-width-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/customer-insights-full-width-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
<h3>8. Appointment reminders</h3>
Helping customers remember their appointments is crucial for ensuring your business’s profitability and optimizing customer service. Reaching out to customers in a deliberate fashion lets them know that you want their business and will do whatever it takes to get them into your office on time.
Appointment reminders are made easy for busy offices with effective software. Administrators can schedule appointments to go out for upcoming visits in advance. These reminders are sent out in text form and can be customized using templates within a scheduling program.
<h3>9. Smart confirmations</h3>
Businesses can also create a personal touch with smart confirmations. These automated messages are similar to reminders, but ask for customers to respond with a yes or no regarding their upcoming visit.
It’s important that customers feel heard by your office. Scheduling software with smart confirmations automatically interpret the responses of customers, even when they use slang, jargon, or emojis. This technology frees up office staff to take care of more essential work while helping customers stay engaged with your business and socially distance.
<h2>Getting more leads and customers</h2>
As your business creates a personal touch in the age of social distancing, it will attract the attention of potential customers. Those businesses that use communication technology to channel this attention into leads and new customers will have an advantage in the new normal.
<h3>10. Quick Fill lists</h3>
With many consumers rightfully concerned about COVID-19, your office is guaranteed to have some reschedules and cancellations. When receptionists get last-minute cancellations, it’s tough to fill open time slots.
Quick Fill lists are groupings of customers most likely to accept an appointment on short notice. Software identifies those customers who haven’t visited your office in a while and those anxiously awaiting your availability. Administrators can then send text blasts to these groups, activating lapsed customers and generating new sources of revenue for your business.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1011029" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Quick-fill-list-2-full-width.jpg" alt="Quick fill list 2- full width" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Quick-fill-list-2-full-width.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Quick-fill-list-2-full-width-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Quick-fill-list-2-full-width-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Quick-fill-list-2-full-width-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
<h3>11. Review requests</h3>
Even before the virus created the conditions for social distancing, 95% of customers had begun to read online reviews prior to making a purchase.<a href="https://spiegel.medill.northwestern.edu/_pdf/Spiegel_Online%20Review_eBook_Jun2017_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">³</a> Now that social distancing has become the new normal, people are spending even more time online.
That’s a good thing for businesses with the right marketing strategy. By amassing positive reviews on popular sites like Google and Facebook, businesses can significantly improve their online presence. Review requests that are texted to customers following appointments are a simple way to gather online reviews and attract new clients.
<h3>12. Email marketing</h3>
Another component of an optimized marketing strategy is an effective email outreach. Recent studies have shown that email has an ROI (Return on Investment) of $38 for every $1 spent. This form of communication aligns with the demand for social distancing while also paving the way for major economic gains in your organization.
A professional email marketing tool allows your office to use pre-written templates to craft its email messaging. It also provides an image library and CTA (Call to Action) buttons for increasing customer engagement. In the age of social distancing, emails are perhaps the best place for sharing detailed updates and promotions with your entire customer base.
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1010741" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Email-marketing-template.jpg" alt="Email marketing template" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Email-marketing-template.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Email-marketing-template-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Email-marketing-template-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Email-marketing-template-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
<h2>Optimizing your current system</h2>
This list of ideas probably incorporates a lot of the tools and techniques your office is already using to communicate with customers and provide proper social distancing. Some of the best ways to improve your business involved perfecting systems that have long been in place.
<h3>13. Analytics</h3>
Over the last decade, businesses of all sizes have put increasing emphasis on the importance of gathering data. Modern software empowers even small businesses to gather data on their processes, then analyze the data to understand how to make the adjustments necessary for further growth.
Businesses have been dealing with the conditions created by COVID-19 for months. By using software with analytical capabilities, businesses can see how social distancing is affecting their communication, their scheduling, and their payment collection. Gathering these statistics is critical for those that want to prosper in the new normal.
<h3>14. A complete payment platform</h3>
Businesses all have a method for collecting payments, but did you know a study commissioned by Weave indicated that <a href="https://www.getweave.com/payment-method-statistics-straight-talk-with-customers-and-small-businesses-about-their-preferences-obstacles/">when businesses add payment options to their existing platform they increase revenue by 29%</a>?
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1012175" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/multiple-payment-options.jpg" alt="multiple payment options" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/multiple-payment-options.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/multiple-payment-options-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/multiple-payment-options-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/multiple-payment-options-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />
Cash, checks, and cards are traditional payment methods accepted by nearly every business. By accepting payments from mobile wallets and exploring contactless payments, businesses open the door for greater prosperity and optimize their existing payment platform.
<h3>15. Contactless payments</h3>
The same Weave-commissioned study showed that <a href="https://www.getweave.com/payment-method-statistics-straight-talk-with-customers-and-small-businesses-about-their-preferences-obstacles/">only 4% of businesses offer payment by text</a>. This contactless form of payment should be a cornerstone of any payment platform that’s taking social distancing into consideration.
Text payments are made possible by messages sent to customers following appointments. They include a link to a payment website and allow customers to pay from any location. Implementing contactless payments mirrors curbside waiting room procedures by creating social distancing after appointments.
<img class="alignnone wp-image-1010795 size-full" src="https://www.getweave.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/text-to-pay-secure-link.jpg" alt="text to pay secure link" width="1425" height="713" srcset="https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/text-to-pay-secure-link.jpg 1425w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/text-to-pay-secure-link-300x150.jpg 300w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/text-to-pay-secure-link-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https://live-getweave.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/text-to-pay-secure-link-768x384.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1425px) 100vw, 1425px" />

Weave Unify empowers healthcare businesses with multiple locations to leverage each others’ patient bases, schedules, and call-handling staff to streamline operations, improve communications, increase revenue, and provide a modernized and personalized patient experience across the entire practice.
“It’s complex for healthcare practices to efficiently communicate, attract, and engage with their patients, and this becomes even more complicated when a business operates multiple practices across various office locations,” said Roy Banks, CEO at Weave. “Weave Unify enables multi-location businesses to leverage each other’s staff and strengths to help grow the organization more quickly and efficiently, provide better brand experiences, all while reducing operational costs.”

Weave is hosting a <a title="Webinar: 5 Reasons to Reassess your Multi-Location Growth Strategy" href="https://www.getweave.com/webinar-5-reasons-to-reassess-your-multi-location-growth-strategy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">webinar</a> on February 11 with Dr. Eric Roman, a practicing dentist who built and sold two multi-location dental service organizations (DSOs), on the ways healthcare businesses should be rethinking their growth and communication strategy in 2021.

Weave Releases New Features For Dentists Reopening Practices, Free CE Credit Program

The announcement follows the tech company’s Back to Business initiative to aid its customers operating in a “new normal”   
&nbsp;
LEHI, UTAH, May 14, 2020 &#8212; Weave, the leading remote business toolbox and full communication suite for small and medium businesses, today announced new key functionality of its Practice Analytics feature that will aid dentists reopening their doors post-government mandated restrictions. 
&nbsp;
Weave’s newest iteration of Practice Analytics will allow its users a more in-depth look at trend data to bring back patients with unscheduled treatment, canceled appointments, and other priority patients. Notably, the feature’s ability to access dental insurance demographics will allow office owners to maximize profitability. 
&nbsp;
Weave’s proprietary data shows that the average office sees an increase in monthly production of more than $25,000 in the first two months of using Practice Analytics.
  
“The activity we’re seeing with Practice Analytics data is encouraging,” said Jeff Lyman, Chief Product Officer at Weave. “Businesses are starting to refill their schedules and rebuild their revenue streams — more so than at any other time since the pandemic began. Our priority right now is helping our customers get back to business, and do so safely.
