 Top Story:  Show Less, Sell More

One of the biggest temptations we, as sales people, have is our desire to take all of our knowledge and information about our product and 'spew' it out before our clients in a way that shows them how brilliant our software package is and how much we know about it.  Unfortunately, what ends up happening is that we end up confusing the physician and the office staff by showing too much.  This is a behavior that will invariably end up costing you sales.  In most cases, too much knowledge on a product for a salesperson is actually a bad thing. More.

 Quote-of-the-Month
"One big hurdle was satisfying doctors that the change to EMR would change the way doctors were used to doing things, but that they would save time in accessing information.  The other big hurdle was cost -- systems typically are expensive, requiring a big capital outlay, but we have a subscription that runs month to month that offsets expense of paper and printing." 
                -- Rod Larsen, CFO for Wray Community District Hospital in an interview with United Press International about their recent implementation of an EMR, 12.28.05

 Funny Bones:  Industry Comedy

"Doctors should never talk to patients about anything but medicine.  When doctors talk politics, economics, or sports, they reveal themselves to be ordinary mortals - you know, idiots like the rest of us."
