Saying Thanks
Scott Adams
November is one of my favorite months of the year. College football is in full swing, the leaves are changing color, and crisp cool nights are a welcome evening treat in greater Atlanta. November also brings my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving. Whether it’s the four-day weekend of gluttony, or just having some time with family, this is a great time to hit the pause button to reflect on the year.
As 2018 unfolded, it has been encouraging to see the manufacturing community come full circle to focus as much on working with distribution reps as they do health systems. Indeed, the work that distributor reps do is vital to providers, and the manufacturers you sell daily.
I would like to say thank you to every rep out there that picks up a bag and works to grow your business, as well as the business of the manufacturers you represent. And, to the manufacturers that support distribution – thank you for all you do for the channel. The past five years in healthcare have certainly had challenges, but we’ve found a way to solve our customers’ biggest problems, thanks to working together and bringing solutions to providers.
Starting in January 2019, Repertoire Magazine will be launching a new podcast series dedicated to the manufacturing and distribution representatives in the field. This is our way of showing you appreciation, while allowing you to tell your story. The series will be called “Road Warriors and Their Untold Stories.” It will consist of interviews with sales reps and sales leaders from distribution and manufacturers covering topics from great sales stories, classic ride days, personal success stories, and sales lessons from top performers. We will announce these in the Dail-eNews, and host them on Repertoiremag.com.
Happy Thanksgiving folks, we are incredibly grateful for you.
Dedicated to the industry,
Scott Adams
