                                                                                                   You don't ever have to go into an Account under-informed again.
The single most important factor affecting your customer’s perception of your Brand is service.  And though your product is engineered to run without failure for a decade, your end-user is not. 

The phone rings with a problem: “It’s not working.”
So, is it your machine or is it your customer?
Perhaps you should be called the Bomb Squad, because you’re going on the scene to defuse the issues, and bond the relationship like no one else can.

Field Service starts in house, and when your Service Engineer and  QA staff understand the product with the mindset of the clinician, issues can be cut short before they go off.

Whether you staff your own or outsource from the field, your FSE’s represent your commitment to your Brand, through your relationship with the customer.  Your people know how to tweak the product; make sure they know how to think like the person using it bedside.

We see Field Service as the ultimate face-time tool:
• everyone is grateful to see the Service Engineer (not always  
  so, the Salesperson);


• the FSE doesn’t drop in and deadline out to catch another
  plane (like Applications); and


• the Engineer dresses like, talks like, and has a job more like
  your end-user’s.



Show the Bottom Line you love it: lose the costly linear-learning customer model and rethink Service as a revenue center.  Your FSE can learn more about your real clients in less time than anyone else coming through the door.  Give them the tools to relate with clinicians even better.

We offer you a powerful and unique tool to build a deeper and more profitable relationship with your customer: the kind that builds bridges to customers. We know the specific skills and scripts to quickly resolve end-user problems during your the period.  And we’re the sideline solution to chronic end-user problems that drain your budget.

We know how to connect.  We understand how to serve.  And we know your customer; we just know them from a different perspective than you do.  Our world is totally controlled, completely safe and professional, and most importantly creates relationships for you for life.

Decades ago, the industry came to us to create cost efficient solutions to customer education.  The ultrasound world was much younger then.  But even today, with globalization of all knowledge, the need for face-time has only grown stronger. 
Relationships drive sales.   There are many ways we can help you multiply them, deepen them, and even cut the costs of them.

Let us help grow your Field Service Team to the next level.  Call us.

If you have a larger project involving several staff, or sonographers and physicians, you might find that our on-site training option is more effective.  We bring every necessary element of the coursework to you and conduct it in your space, on your schedule, and use your patients as learning models.  You benefit by saving on travel costs, absentee pay, and lost productivity.

Compare us to our colleagues in training.  Inspect our public courses, and the ones we’ve got upcoming (and tell us whatever else you think we should create).  Then contact us for answers to any concern or question you might have.  We’re passionate about your success and grateful  for the chance to serve.
