Can Pet Owners Get a Veterinary Appointment? What a Secret Shopper Study Revealed

Send a textWorried pet parent meets phone tree is a stress spiral no one needs—so we put it to the test. We sat down with health services researcher Dr. Simon Haeder to unpack a large secret shopper study that mimicked real owners calling nearby clinics to book first-visit puppy care. Across six diverse states, the results upend common assumptions: two-thirds of callers landed an appointment, average waits hovered around six days, and typical drives were about 13 minutes. Even better, directory inaccuracies were rare.But averages aren't the whole story. A meaningful slice of callers never reached a human or bailed after long holds, and rural clients paid a bigger time tax with longer waits and drives. We zero in on the most fixable barriers—phones and scheduling—and outline practical steps clinics can take right now: enable online booking for routine visits, add an answering service or AI-assisted intake to capture messages reliably, and set clear callback expectations. These low-friction changes reduce abandonment, calm anxious owners, and free front-desk teams to focus on in-clinic care.We also zoom out to the big questions shaping veterinary access. How different are wait times for dentistry, oncology, and other specialties, especially outside metro hubs and away from teaching hospitals? What happens as pet insurance grows? And how do cats, horses, and rural communities fit into an access map still being drawn? You'll come away with data you can use, a checklist to improve client communication, and smart planning tips if you're welcoming a new pet.If this conversation helps you see veterinary access more clearly, subscribe, share with a fellow pet lover, and leave a quick review so others can find the show.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.05.0311INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

An Appointment to Keep | Genesis 3:9

“Then the Lord God called to the man, ‘Where are you?’” (Genesis 3:9 NLT) Over the next two weeks, we’re going to look at the lives of several Old Testament characters. And we’re going to discover that their experiences are still relevant and applicable to us today. We’re going to start at the beginning with Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve enjoyed a unique relationship with God. Only they could say they knew Him before. That is, before they sinned and altered the course of human history. Before their wrongdoing created a gulf between God and humanity that could be bridged only by the sacrificial death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Before their fall, however, Adam and Eve enjoyed a remarkable closeness with God. In fact, they had a standing appointment with Him. Genesis 3:8 says, “When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden” (NLT). God strolled through the paradise He created. He visited with Adam and Eve. Imagine their excitement and anticipation as they waited for God’s arrival in the evening. One day Adam and Eve missed that appointment. They had disobeyed Him and eaten from the forbidden tree in the garden. Their shame and guilt kept them from their time with the Lord. So, God called out, “Where are you?” (Genesis 3:9 NLT). I wonder if the Lord would say something similar to people today. “Where are you? I’ve been looking for you. I want to speak to you. I want you to walk with Me, and I want to walk with you.” The Christian life is often referred to as a walk—and for good reason. Amos 3:3 says, “Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction?” (NLT). The idea is that when two people walk together, they share a common purpose, a connection, a commitment to one another. You must keep an appointment to walk with someone. So, when God walks with us, He’s keeping an appointment. He wants to meet with us on a regular basis. The question is: How often do we keep that appointment? How many times each day does God make Himself available to speak to us, only to be shut out of our appointment book? Imagine Him saying, “I’ve wanted to talk to you for a long time, but you’re too busy. You won’t make time for Me. You won’t open the Word. You rarely pray. And when you do, it’s one-sided. You won’t listen to Me. You have an appointment with Me. Why don’t you keep it?” Obviously, there is no “good” answer to that question. Whatever feeble excuses we may try to offer pale in comparison to the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with the all-knowing, all-powerful Creator of the universe who loves us, wants only the best for us, and knows exactly how we might experience that best. Is there any appointment worth keeping more than the one with Him? Reflection question: How can you keep a regular appointment with God?

Steve Jobs once said, “Deciding what NOT to do is as important as deciding what TO do”, and that quote has been, and still is, a cornerstone of my whole time management and productivity philosophy.  Today, I answer a question about dealing with all the little things that pop up each day while staying focused on what is important.  Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The Ultimate Productivity Workshop  The Hybrid Productivity Course  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page   Script | 406 Hello, and welcome to the real episode 406 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. (Apologies for the incorrect numbering last week) A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  What happens when your productivity system collapses? Do you go looking for new apps, or do you give up and just think you're not the organised type or lack self-discipline?  People react in many different ways when their systems become backlogged and overwhelmed, yet this is a state that will happen to all of us from time to time.  Life has a bad habit of getting in the way. It throws up all sorts of problems to test us. No one week or even a day will ever be the same. Only five minutes ago, my plan to take Louis out for our walk at 2:00 pm was changed by my wife asking if we could go at 12:30. That way, I could pick her up from her dance class and then go to the reservoir for his walk.  And that was a small change.  These little things are hitting us every day and disrupting our systems, yet that doesn't mean our systems are broken. It just means we need to ensure that we have sufficient buffer and flexibility built in. This week's question is all about what to do when, for whatever reason, your system begins to collapse, and you have backlogs of work, emails, messages and commitments, and you have no idea how to regain control.  Now, before I hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice, just a heads up to say if you are considering joining next week's Ultimate Productivity Workshop, there are only seven days left before the first session.  The workbook will be going out next week, and I would love for you to join me. This is your opportunity to get to grips with the COD and Time Sector Systems, where you can ask questions and come away with not only the knowledge, but with a rock solid system that is flexible, automatic and leaves you with enough time for the things you want to do.  PLUS, you also get, for free, four of my courses to help you go deeper in your own time.  I will put the details in the show notes, and I hope to see you next Sunday.  Now, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Nick. Nick asks, “ Hi Carl, all my professional life I have tried to be organised and focused, but every time I feel I have found the solution, something happens either at work or at home that destroys my plans. How do you suggest someone go about dealing with disruptions all the time?  Great question, Nick, and thank you for sending it in.  Much of what causes us these issues has little to do with our systems. It's just life getting in the way.  Yet, what we are aiming to do is turn managing our time into a routine. Something we just do.  For instance, I would feel uncomfortable going to bed not knowing what my appointments and important tasks are for the next day. It doesn't take long—five minutes tops —but most days it's likely less than two minutes.  This is why I cannot get my head around it when people tell me they are too exhausted to plan the next day. It's no more than five minutes! You only need to know when and where your appointments are and what your one or two most important tasks are. It takes a minuscule amount of energy to do it.  Those two minutes have a profound effect on my day.  Last night, I went to bed knowing that I had six hours of meetings today and one critical task to do. I knew if I was diligent, I would be able to complete my meetings and that one task.  The fact that my wife has already changed my plan has not caused me to drop the task. My original plan to do it after my morning calls finished has changed. I will now do it when I get back from taking Louis for his walk.  What matters is that when I finish today, I can look back knowing I have what matters done.  This all begins with respecting the basics. Those basics are contained in COD. Collect, Organise and Do.  You need a way to collect everything that comes your way throughout the day. This needs to be something you trust. That could be a task manager or a daybook (a notebook you use to manage your day).  Then, at some point in the day, you process and organise what you collected. That could be the first thing in the morning or the last thing you do before you finish your workday. If you're doing it every day, you won't need a lot of time for this part of the process.  If you're inconsistent with it, you will need more time. This is why I suggested you turn these things into routines—things you just do every day. Like brushing your teeth when you wake up, or washing the dishes before you go to bed.  Finally, the daily planning, where you decide which tasks you must do that day and review your calendar for the next day's appointments. These steps give you a clear plan for doing the work.  The great thing is that none of these steps takes a lot of time. Perhaps the processing and organising will take about 10 minutes. However, I find that this step is calming. It allows me to ensure I am not trying to do too much or limiting my flexibility.  So, step one, Nick, is to make following the principles of COD a non-negotiable part of your day.  For those of you who have not discovered COD yet, I have a free 45-minute course that walks you through the process and shows you the tools and formulas to build this into your day. I will leave the link in the show notes. The next consideration is how you are organising your work.  There are some things that need to be done every day. Responding to your actionable messages (email, Slack, Teams, etc.) and any daily admin, for example. Salespeople often need to record their daily activities. Now you could do this once a week or do it daily. I find that doing it daily keeps the time required to a minimum.  Then there are your tasks. Now, some of these may need to be done today or before the end of the week. Others may not be quite as urgent, so you can push them out of sight until next week or even next month.  This is why I recommend you organise your task manager by when you will do something. Anything that needs to be done this week goes into a folder called “this week”. This means you are not being distracted by tasks that don't need to be done this week, and it helps to keep your task list to a minimum. This prevents your lists from becoming overwhelming.  The other good thing about this approach is that the 40% of the tasks you think you will need to do that never actually need to be done can be deleted during your weekly planning. (That's one of my favourite parts of doing the weekly planning) This is the essence of the Time Sector System. It's not about how much you have to do; we all have far more to do than the time available to do it. It's about when you will do it.  There are two sides to the time management equation. Time and stuff to do. The time side of the equation is fixed. You cannot change that. There are 24 hours a day and 168 hours a week, and that's it.  The only variable you have is stuff to do. That's what the Time Sector System focuses on. Getting you to decide what you will do and when.  I can now give you an update on my changing day.  When I started today, I had three meetings between 8:00 and 11:30 am.  It's now 10:30 am, as I write this, and my 8:00 am meeting went ahead as usual, but my 9:30 and 10:30 meetings have both cancelled.  When I planned my day yesterday, I accounted for all my meetings going ahead, and I would write this script before taking Louis for his walk. I would start the script between 8:00 am and 9:30 am, and then finish it after all my meetings ended.  I've been given 90 minutes back, so this script will be finished before I pick my wife up from her dance class. It also means I can work on an important project this afternoon, which I thought I wouldn't have much time for.  Some days you win, others you have to fight for. Today's a win. On the days you have to fight for it's important to stand your ground as much as you can. For example, had all my meetings gone ahead as expected today, I would still have had time this afternoon to write this script.  The consequences of not protecting time to write this script would be squeezing my day tomorrow, and I would likely have to work on Saturday just to catch up.  I've played that game too often in the past, and it's not worth it.  It would be tempting to blame my system, but ultimately, my decisions would have caused the problem.  So, as you can see, Nick, life will always get in the way. You can only work with the information in front of you.  But if you are consistent with your daily and weekly planning, you are putting yourself in a position to be clear about what matters each day.  Yet, your daily and weekly planning only works if you are collecting everything that needs to be collected. Appointments are on your calendar, and tasks are in a task manager. That way, you will have all the information you need to plan your days so that the important things get done, and the lower-value ones can be eliminated.  And finally, you can avoid many issues by building buffer time into your calendar. Trying to squeeze in as many meetings as you can without allowing at least 15 minutes between them is storing up problems for you later.  I try to set aside 2 hours for focused work each day and 2 hours of buffer time for the unexpected. I've found over the years that on most days, that's enough to give me the flexibility to deal with whatever comes my way.  So Nick, it comes down to following the principles of COD. Collect everything that needs to be collected. Allow yourself ten to fifteen minutes each day to process and organise what you collected. Decide when you will do the tasks, and use your daily and weekly planning sessions to map out your days so you are getting the right things done at the right time.  I hope that helps.  Now, don't forget, if you want to learn how to put all this together, have me show you how to manage your calendar and task manager and stay of top of your communications, then my Ultimate Productivity Workshop will do that for you.  And don't worry if you cannot attend all the sessions (there are only two). Both sessions will be recorded, and the video and audio files will be available shortly after the end of each session.  I hope you can join me. Details for this fantastic workshop are in the show notes. Thank you, Nick, for your question, and thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

It's because you're spending major time on minor tasks.In this video, I break down the real reason most sales reps stay busy… but never actually get rich.Here's the truth:There are only three drivers of sales:Talk to more peopleGet better at sellingIncrease efficiencyEveryone obsesses over #2.The top 1% obsess over #3.When I actually ran my numbers, I realized something insane.When I was in front of a qualified prospect, I was making over $1,000 per hour.But I wasn't spending most of my time there.I was:DrivingSchedulingFollowing upDoing adminResponding to messagesHandling tasks someone else could've done for $20/hrThat's not a sales problem.That's an allocation problem.In this video, I show you:• The difference between Major Time vs Minor Time• How to reverse engineer your income using input targets• The 4-step formula to remove guesswork from any sales goal• Why stacking appointments destroys no-show risk• How to “buy back” your time using delegation• Why picking your prospect increases your close rate• How to build a pipeline so you never NEED a saleMost salespeople try to close everyone.Top performers build abundance.They don't chase.They stack.They don't hope.They measure inputs.They don't work more hours.They use better ones.If you can get 80–90% of your working time in front of qualified prospects, your income will explode.If you can delegate everything that doesn't directly produce revenue, your hourly rate will skyrocket.If you can focus on inputs instead of obsessing over outcomes, you become dangerous.Sales is math.Sales is time.Sales is leverage.The reason most people stay stuck isn't because they aren't capable.It's because they're reactive.They let the tail wag the dog.They respond instead of initiate.They feel productive instead of being profitable.In this video, I give you the exact framework I used to go from average performance to disproportionate results — without buying more leads or magically becoming a better closer.If you implement even 1–2 of these systems:• Time blocking• Appointment stacking• Weekly production planning• Delegation• Input trackingYou will see compounding growth.Not hype.Math.If you're serious about getting to the next level in sales — watch the whole thing.And if you get value, subscribe.

Failure is Not Permanent (Money Monday)

Sales Gravy: Jeb Blount

One of the most vivid memories from my childhood was the day I was bucked off my pony, Macaroni. I was only six years old. We were in an arena where my mother was giving me my very first riding lessons.  Macaroni was stung by a bee, and she reacted by bucking. I couldn't hang on, and I landed hard on my back. It knocked the breath out of me. I gasped for air. Then, as I finally caught my breath, I started bawling at the shock of being involuntarily dismounted.  My mom caught the pony, led her back over to me, and gently told me to dust myself off and get back on. But by this time, I was sobbing the way kids do when they've cried so hard that they can't stop.  Failure is Just a Bruise I shook my head and refused to get back on the pony. My mother tried her best to calm me down and reason with me, but I still refused to get back on.  Then she took a different tactic and got tough. Her stern, direct tone of voice made it clear that she was not asking me to get back on the pony—she was telling me. That's what I remember the most because my mom had never talked to me like that before and has rarely ever used that tone and directness since.  “Get up, and get back on that pony now!” she admonished.  She was unmovable. Like Teflon. My tears and pleading made no difference. I knew I had no choice, so I stood up, shaking. Still trying to catch my breath, she helped me get back on the pony.  Right there in the riding ring, at six years old, I experienced one of the most pivotal lessons of my life. My mother taught me that failure is just a bruise, not a tattoo.  She wasn't being cruel; she was being protective—protective of my future self, the one who might otherwise have carried an irrational fear of horses, or an ingrained habit of backing down at the first taste of adversity into the rest of my life. She knew that if she had let me off the hook and let me walk away from that pony, there was a good chance that I'd never get back on again. That the fear I felt when I landed on my back in the sand would grow and gain a life of its own. That I would vow to never let the pain and embarrassment of falling off happen to me again, and with that, my brush with failure would become permanent.  Failure Can't Really Bite You The truth is, failure is usually a short-lived event. Yes, it's jarring, unexpected, and can momentarily knock the breath out of you. But it doesn't have to be the defining chapter of your story.  That's what my mother understood so well in that riding ring. She insisted that I face my fear, effectively telling me, “Hey, the worst part's over. Now that you've experienced fear and failure, get back on and prove to yourself you can handle it.”  Because once you push through that initial sting, you discover that the fear can't really bite you unless you give it teeth in your own mind.  When Failure Becomes Permanent For far too many people, though, the pain of failure does become permanent. Instead of allowing themselves a moment to dust off and try again, they walk away in defeat—often without fully grasping the long-term impact of that decision.  Rather than letting the bruise fade, they opt to memorialize failure in their minds, assigning it more meaning than it deserves. They replay the embarrassment and pain over and over, until it becomes an unspoken vow: “Never again.”  And in that single choice, a brief setback can morph into a defining moment in which they forfeit the chance to learn, grow, and eventually experience the sweetness of victory. Think about how this scenario plays out in everyday life. Maybe you dream of learning a new skill—painting, playing guitar, writing a book, starting a podcast—but in your first attempt, you falter or feel foolish. Rather than chalking it up to “beginner's missteps,” you decide: “I'm terrible at this; I'll never try again.” And that small bruise becomes a tattoo right there, on the spot. You miss out on the personal growth, the fun, and potentially incredible experiences you would have discovered if you'd simply dusted yourself off and tried again. Sales is a Tapestry of Failure In sales, this avoidance of failure is just as prevalent, if not more so, because the stakes often involve your income or your reputation at work.  One day, you run a sales call that goes terribly off the rails—the prospect is disinterested, you get flustered, or you stumble on a key question. You come away feeling embarrassed, incompetent, maybe even humiliated if it happened in front of your sales manager.  That single negative experience can color your perception of future calls. You avoid that type of call, that kind of prospect, or that particular approach. You remember that unpleasant feeling so vividly that you decide it's “safer” never to try again.  So many sales reps finally gain the courage to cold call a C-level executive at a high-value prospect. Then freeze when they get a hard objection, leaving them feeling small and insecure. Instead of analyzing what went wrong, adjusting their approach, and trying again, they vow, “I'm never calling anyone that high up again.”  And while that might spare them from momentary embarrassment and discomfort, the long-term consequences are enormous. Their pipeline shrinks and income tanks because they're playing it safe. And, ultimately, their career crashes because they're afraid to push outside of their comfort zone. Sales Failure: Where the Bruise Can Really Hurt Sales can be bruising. Each rejection takes a piece out of you and can feel like a blow to your self-worth. It's easy to internalize it. Over time, a string of “no's” can erode your confidence, making the idea of picking up the phone and calling prospects feel daunting. Our minds can often be drama queens. When something painful happens, we cling to that memory and replay it, each time piling on new layers of negativity—“I can't believe I said that,” “What was I thinking,” “I'm so stupid.” In reality, the prospect might barely remember it or might even respect your courage. But to you, it's all-consuming. But remember, a “no” in sales is rarely personal. Often, it's circumstantial—maybe the prospect is having a bad day, or their budget cycle doesn't align with your proposal, or they had a negative experience with a different vendor and brought that baggage with them into your presentation.  The more you detach your self-worth from the outcome, the less likely you are to see these “no's” as permanent markers of failure. Instead, you'll shift your mindset. You begin to view failure as data that you can use to gain insight into how to improve. You start to treat each rejection as a chance to refine your approach. Success Stories are Forged in Failure The true success stories in sales almost always come from people who learned to pick themselves up, analyze the failure, and adapt. They didn't let the fear of failure overshadow their potential for greatness.   The best salespeople—and frankly, the happiest people—know that failure is inevitable. Rather than avoiding it, they embrace it. They feel the pain just like anyone else, but recognize that bruises eventually fade. You just have to keep moving forward in order to heal. At the end of the day, resilience in the face of failure is a choice. It doesn't always feel like one, especially in the raw moments right after you've messed up, taken a big hit, or find yourself on your back in the dirt.  But as soon as you reclaim your power to stand up, brush off the dust, and climb back on—whether it's a literal or figurative pony—you'll find your perspective shifting. Failure no longer holds you hostage. It becomes a footnote in a broader story of your determination and personal growth. Failure is Only Final If You Make That Choice So, the next time you bomb a sales call, lose a deal you thought was a lock, get yelled at on a cold call, or face an embarrassing situation in front of your peers, remember: you get to choose. Will this be just a bruise, or will you sear it into your psyche, turning it into a tattoo of permanent self-doubt?  My challenge to you this week is when things go wrong, to look up and get up. Get back on the phone. Set another meeting. Propose the next big idea. Trust yourself to learn, adapt, and keep going. Will yourself to stop and make one more call.  Because failure is only final if you decide to never get back on that pony again.
