Main Subject - Just Ask!
Ask and you shall receive & knock and it shall be opened &send an email and see what happens. As a student of personal finance you are probably familiar with the advice to negotiate with your credit card companies to get a lower interest rate. Why stop ther According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product e? There is hardly anything that can't be gotten for less than what is being asked if you are smart and creative about asking. Since you are reading this on a computer, let's start there. Got AOL? I called AOL and they gave me two months of free service. ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in ere is how it went... AOL: How can I make your online experience more enjoyable? (I should have said give me 6 free months!) ME: Well first, I was wondering how long I have been a member of AOL. AOL: April 1995 ME: That's a long time. What would happe lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. if I got a new computer and they offered me a free year of AOL. AOL: Your account would be credited for that year. ME: Well, since I've been a valued customer for such a long time could you give me 3 or 4 free months? AOL: I'd like to ...can you hold? ME: here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe Sure AOL: My supervisor has authorized me to give you 2 free months. Is that OK? ME: Sure. AOL: Leo, let me ask you... is the reason you called today to get some free months? ME: Well, I really wanted to find out how long I'd been a member but YES, since d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro I've been a loyal customer. Thanks! You'll notice that FIRST, I established how long I had been a member. Even if I knew the answer to the question I would still have had him look it up so HE knew. Seven years as an AOL member established that I was a V ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc LUED (valuable) customer. This is when I asked for the free months. If he had said "no" I would have asked to speak to his supervisor but he did that for me. I'm not sure who said it but I like the lesson "never accept a NO from someone not empowered to gi easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi e you a YES!" Got Road Runner? I got this idea from one of my subscribers. Locally, Time Warner is offering new subscribers a special six month rate of $29.95 instead of the normal $49.95. She was already a Road Runner subscriber but she called and asked f nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically r the $29.95 rate since she was a "valued customer". They said yes and she saved $120 for a five-minute phone call. Have you been with your Internet Service Provider for a while? Call up and ask them for a few free months. If they are reluctant, you might and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ drop hints about trying another service. In one of my seminars a student commented that she would be afraid "they" would laugh at her if she called and asked for a discount. 1) They probably won't and 2) So what if they did? If they are laughing, ask them ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi if that was a yes or no and then ask to speak with their supervisor say you are upset about the laughing and as a valued customer you'll get your discount! That or have one of your teenage kids make the call they don't take no for an answer do they? If possi ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a le, before you are in a position to negotiate, review your assets and what, if anything, can you offer to them? Being a long time customer is an asset and they don't want to lose you. Have a friend who wants to buy the same thing? Bringing a company two s dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod les at one time is an asset. Having influence over a large group who might want to buy what they are selling is a big asset. Paying cash can be an asset. At this writing I have 7700 subscribers to my e-zine. If I see a product on the Internet that I think cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin might be helpful to them I'll contact the seller. I introduce myself and invite them to visit my website to establish some credibility. I'm writing to propose a joint venture that could benefit the merchant, my subscribers and sometimes me. I explain that tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen would consider endorsing their product or service to my list if it is as good as advertised. If they believe in their product they usually will offer me a FREE review copy of it. In the last month I've gotten $1532 in value (products and services) using the t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel assets I've developed. Can't come up with any assets right now? A former auto salesperson told me his simple 8-word sentence for getting discounts "Is that price the best you can do?" Again, if you get a "no" from anyone other than the owner or manager in t ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust e case of a mega-retailer ask, in the nicest way possible, if they could check with the owner/manager to make sure that is the best price. In this live scenario it never hurts to be prepared to leave if they won't deal. Mention you saw the same product somew y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products here else imply you are going to buy one today from someone. My students have given me many examples of negotiating discounts at places as big as Wal-Mart simply by asking the manager. The worst they can say is no. In my live seminars I recommend never buyi . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de g a NordicTrac from NordicTrac. You'll find lots of them in next to new condition in the classified section of the newspaper. Make your calls and be sure to mention that there are a lot of them for sale. This raises strong doubt in their mind that they wi elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip l be able to sell at the price they want and makes them more receptive to a lower price. Negotiating can be fun. It doesn't have to be nerve-wracking. Merchants are used to it and you should get used to it too! Good luck and let me know how it goes for you tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
