New Year, New Solutions
Take a huge breath, stand up and stretch for a minute or two, and then let’s go! It’s January 2023, and we have an entire new year to get started. As I write this Publisher’s Letter, I think back to past years:
- January 2020 was full of hope and challenged each of us all to do some things to set ourselves apart in the new year. Little did any of us know what was about to hit the world right between the eyes.
- January 2021 was about saying goodbye to 2020 and looking towards the new year and new normal, with a fresh start to gaining our lives back.
- January 2022 was about the importance of relationships and the anticipation of live meetings returning. 2022 was a great year for Repertoire and our parent company Share Moving Media. We hosted 4 live events and covered each of the distributors’ live events. It was so good to see all of you face to face.
So now we are on the threshold of a new year full of possibilities, challenges, and hopefully a little bit of fun mixed in with some new products and ideas.
We are relaunching RepConnect this month. It’s been completely overhauled from what you may remember. It still has its original tools like manufacturer rep rosters, product libraries and end-user videos, but we also added a scrolling industry news real which is updated daily, each of the magazines are housed in the app for you to read, all of our podcast are now available in the app, and you now have the ability to share everything in the app via e-mail, social, and text. This app was 100% designed to keep you connected to the industry and your manufacturing partners. We will continue to add manufacturers and keep their information as up to date as possible. Please scan the QR code below to download the latest version of RepConnect. If you have the old version, all you need to do is update it. We welcome your feedback on ways to improve the app: sadams@sharemovingmedia.com.
For those of you in national accounts, we recently launched a brand new product called “The IDN Directory.” This product is designed for individuals calling on health systems. This first version profiles the top 100 IDNs in the U.S. Within 3 keystrokes you will know everything you need to understand the mission, vision, and values of a given system. This tool will prepare you like no other to call on that IDN you are trying to close. For a demo of the directory, please contact Kathryn Finley at katherinefinley@idndirectory.com
As always, we’re looking to the new year to challenge ourselves to better serve you and the industry. We value our readers and our advertisers, and we wish each of you a prosperous new year.
And finally, I would be remiss if I didn’t congratulate Henry Schein on their 90th anniversary. Thank you for all that you do as an organization.
Dedicated to the industry,
R. Scott Adams
