The Business of H1N1

Today is my day to get a shot. Not shot..a shot. I have been in line for about thirty five minutes and can only marvel how this process looks so much like running a business..
..There is a product - the vacine
..There is a process to buy..standing in line
..There is customer service..smiling and helpful commissionaires and nurses. And for those who can't stand/walk..they get VIP treatment up the elevator.
..There is distribribution to get the vaccine.
..There is even a pricing strategy..for us Canadians..it's called taxes
..Marketing has happened to get us in the know..we are the leads..and the sale strategy is simple..fear of loss.
....And who says health care should not be for business...?

To your health..
Here's to Your Success!
