Hello to everyone within the Million Dollar Transportation Community!  As
always, I hope that this message finds you all doing well and that
business is booming!

I want to share with you the following email because I am sure that there
is something in here that you can definitely relate to!  But the question is
what are you going to do about it?  Are you going to act like Randy or sit
idle and do nothing?

Randy Ballard from Mobility Medical Express writes the following:

First off, I would like to start off by saying that I have really enjoyed your
online book series anchored by "How to Build a Million Dollar Medical
Transportation Business," as well as your DVD Series and MDTVIP
website.  I was very thrilled to find out that you were hosting a seminar in
March.

I have spent 25 years successfully selling and marketing within the
healthcare industry.  For the last 2.5 years I worked for a small upstart
bio-pharmaceutical company focusing on Neonatology products, I
finished 3rd of 18 nationally in sales in 2010 and was competing for the
#1 spot in 2011 when I fell victim to corporate downsizing and the
elimination of my sales territory.  Undergoing this for the second time I
decided that it was time to break away from the corporate life style and
venture out on my own.

I was contemplating the NEMT business for quite some time.  As you
probably surmise my exposure to the hospital and clinic setting made
me very much aware of this industry. 

Last year my father was diagnosed with State IV cancer.  He then
moved into our home and my family and I became intimately involved
with his medical treatment.  Throughout last summer we were r
esponsible for 30 round trips to chemo therapy and related follow up
visits for IV fluids, injections, etc.  It was a 16.5 mile journey one way. 
Although this put an extreme challenge on our time and careers, we
were able to get him to all of his scheduled appointments however it
did take some creative scheduling and sacrifices by all involved. 
Sadly, last fall my father passed away but he left knowing that he had
a family that truly loved him and gave him every opportunity to fight
his illness.

It was during this time that I realized just how challenging
transportation of the non-emergency ambulatory and non-ambulatory
patients can be.  When a patient faces the burden of a chronic
illness or simply dealing with a doctor's visit, the last thing they need
to be worrying about is a reliable way to and from the appointment.

Many times I witnessed a patient being delivered by a NEMT provider
and simply dumped off in the waiting room.  As you mentioned on
your DVD's these drivers were sometimes dressed in "shabby or
unprofessional" attire.

My company was founded on the principle of knowing how
appreciative my father was for his transportation to and from his
appointments thus allowing him the ability to focus on the task at
hand of fighting illness.  With that philosophy in mind combined with
reliable, personal and safe service I am extremely confident in our
ability to become the best provider of NEMT services.

I look forward to discussing my strategies with you and to hear your
feedback.  Also, as a side note, my first job in medical sales fresh
out of college was working as an independent manufacturer's
representative on straight commission.  I moved out of state into a
one bedroom apartment with a standard closet and a small walk in
closet.  Joel, guess where my office was - that's right, in the closet! 
I had a phone line installed in there and actually had complaints
from my neighbor when I would talk and interrupt his sleep.  That
was my set up for over a year before I could afford a nicer place.

Like my Dad always said, "You gotta pay your dues!"

Looking forward to your seminar,
Randy Ballard

Again, I know that many of you reading this can relate to Randy's
story.  Maybe you've been laid off or victim of corporate downsizing. 
Maybe you started your company via experiencing the need through
a loved one.

As I mention in my DVD Series, because this is a service-based
business in which you go out into your community, you can
technically start your NEMT business out of a closet!  And it appears
that Randy has literally experienced just such a strategy!!

The reason I share Randy's story is because I know many of you
can relate in one way or another.  But the question is, what are you
going to do?  Are you going to take action like Randy or sit idle?

I will share more details with you soon, but what's important to
understand is that the medical industry as a whole is changing. 
Hospitals and nursing facilities and the way they administer care are
changing.  Your relationships with brokers, Medicaid, and insurance
is changing.  In so doing, our industry is experiencing change.  If you
don't begin to change and modify your business model you will
eventually find your business obsolete.

I don't tell you this to scare you, only to share with you the truth.  

Don't be like the guy who drowned on his rooftop because he refused
help!  At my San Jose Seminar at the end of this month you're going
to learn of an "Integrated" business model that is going to allow you
to adapt to the changes in healthcare, changes with brokers,
Medicaid, and more. 

You're going to discover how to adapt and prosper in a troubled
economy, an economy with a wide variety of shifts and changes.

We will be closing down reservations around the middle of the month. 
So considered yourself informed and either take action or sit idle and
let it pass you by!

See you at the Top!
