Our achievement came in getting patients to call those Medical Practices to set appointments. One of our first clients received 44 new patient inquiry calls in just a couple of days from our campaign. However, whilst<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0many patients called, not many actually booked an appointment.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Confused, we listened to the call recordings of patients calling their office.\u00a0<\/span>And<strong> that is when we were introduced to the person we refer to as Agnes \u201cWho Hates Her Life\u201d.<\/strong>\u00a0The woman that was answering the phone for their office was incredibly rude and negative and we quickly understood why there were no appointments from all of the calls.\u00a0<strong>That is when we decided we needed to expand our services and to have a call center<\/strong> so that we could answer the phone and give patients a good experience.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And this is when the client turned to GraphicMama with the cool idea of bringing Agnes to life and making her the spokesperson for their services.<\/p>\n<h2>Here is what GraphicMama did for the Trackable Lead Generation<\/h2>\n<p>As with all of our custom projects, we presented the client with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>several concept sketches first, according to their requirements<\/li>\n<li>after approval of one of them we presented the character in color<\/li>\n<li>and finally we made her into a&#8221;puppet&#8221; &#8211; character ready for animation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13997 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095403\/agnes-concepts-draft.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"826\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095403\/agnes-concepts-draft.jpg 826w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095403\/agnes-concepts-draft-300x104.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095403\/agnes-concepts-draft-768x266.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095403\/agnes-concepts-draft-80x28.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-13998 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095419\/agnes-colors.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"826\" height=\"322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095419\/agnes-colors.jpg 826w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095419\/agnes-colors-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095419\/agnes-colors-768x299.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/06095419\/agnes-colors-80x31.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t you think Agnes should be the\u00a0<em>proud owner of Grumpy Cat<\/em>?
