Not sure how to tell your customer about the care you're providing them? This can help! Don't be afraid to display that you are looking out for the customer, they'll thank you later.

If you've flagged a suspicious spot, how do you tell your customer about it?
Don't worry! Included in the resources is a set of reference cards with a simple conversation script for you to follow.
In these conversations stay calm; be gentle; and only encourage, don't tell the customer what to do.

Included in the materials is a resource card with local, free locations for customers to go for a check up; down below is the link to download all these materials and what the local, free resource card looks like.
