Mike's Report

Dear Friend,

I'm writing to let you know that we have secured some additional rooms at the special room rate of $129 per night at the Courtyard Marriott Chapel Hill for the Square One Boot Camp May 18th - 20th.

We have had some people report that they called the hotel and were told that it was sold out. Please contact Lisa Englert at lenglert@simione.com and she can get you the information you need to book your room at the hotel.

This is the last Square One Boot Camp until the fall, so send us your liaisons and we will send you back highly trained home care and hospice sales professionals.

The current Square One Boot Camp is wrapping up in Las Vegas with a really strong group of sales people. The group may be a little smaller but they make it up with quality. Lively interactions and a high degree of accomplishments are underway. Their competitors had better watch out! Several of the students referenced that they had attended other home care sales and marketing programs and were blown away with the great skills and techniques they are learning here.

Due to the advanced homework and the requirement that the Next Step Advanced Sales Training Boot Camp be small in size, anyone planning on attending needs to register now. Late registrations will not be accepted.

AdmitRight, for the first time, includes a special home care-specific track. In response to your requests, we have modified the AdmitRight format to provide the in-depth, results generating success for both hospice and home health. Be sure to indicate which track you wish to attend. The hospice program remains unchanged -- the same hard hitting, high impact program you expect from Mike and Polly.

To all of you nurses, Happy Nurses Week!

Best,

Mike Ferris
Director
Marketing, Sales and Customer Service Consulting Division
