Top Gun Maverick
This is going to be a different kind of Publisher’s Letter, because I just finished “Top Gun Maverick” on a Delta flight to visit clients. I have to talk about the movie, how it connects to this issue of Repertoire, and give you some exciting news that should be a game changer in your day-to-day life calling on providers.
First off, the movie – I mean OMG why did I wait so long to watch it? Talk about feeling 100% American and proud of it. I saw “Top Gun” in the 9th grade on a date with a 10th grader. I remember walking out of the theater thinking I wanted to be a naval aviator. Well as those of you who read this column each month know, making it through aviation school wasn’t in the cards. However, the movie rekindled the feeling I had back then, and how proud I was to be an American.
The timing of me watching the movie could not have been better considering this is our annual Made in America issue. We talk to manufacturers who produce here in the U.S. and hear from providers on how important that is to our healthcare system. Hopefully you will take the story to your clients and help support these American companies.
Now, on to the Repertoire news I mentioned. In 2012, we created an app called RepConnect. Many of you used it and found it incredibly valuable. Over the years, though, it became dated and tired. In November we will unveil the new and improved version of the app.
I am not going to tell you today what’s new, but instead I want to tell you why we made this investment. The simple answer is you, our reader, and for the manufacturers that believe in you. RepConnect’s “WHY” is to give you a place to connect with the industry, your peers, and the manufacturers who help you make a living.
We will continue to tell you more about the app in the coming months. I am so excited for you to see it and allow it to help you save time, add benefit to your customers, and keep you connected daily.
Happy selling from one proud American to over 6,500 other proud American professional medical salespeople.
Dedicated to the industry,
R. Scott Adams
