Upcoming Woo U CE events
Every Frame has a Story: How to Tell it to Sell it
Before you place a frame on the patient, it helps to know the story behind it. Why are certain materials and colors chosen? Who should you sell this frame to? What features and benefits does it offer, and what is the big deal when it comes to branding? You will leave this course with a clear understanding of why some frames are a better choice for certain patients and how to present them properly.
