RPMS services are providing THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER MONTH IN NEW AND ADDITIONAL PROFITS to hundreds of pharmacies across the United States. A step-by-step process of how we do this will be explained, but first let's take a look at current working conditions experienced by the majority of independent retail pharmacies.
Many retail pharmacy owners are either struggling to make ends meet, simply working too many hours to enjoy life, or are experiencing burn out. These days being a full-time pharmacist plus handling all the details of managing a business requires support.
Chain stores and mail order pharmacies continue to grow and prosper at a time when many independent pharmacies are selling out to the competition or just simply closing the doors. Independent pharmacies receiving assistance from RPMS are growing and prospering more than ever before. The one thing these successful growth pharmacies have in common is SUPPORT. RPMS understands the world of independent retail pharmacy. The greatest disadvantage suffered by the independent pharmacist is the total void of a 'real' support team. RPMS has been successfully filling that void since 1987.
Your competition is successful, growing, and prospering because they have a headquarters filled with specialists dealing with and managing areas of their business that an individual independent business owner does not have time to even think about, let alone manage. The chain store and mail order pharmacies as well as third party plans, have a well thought out and documented business plan that includes a very aggressive marketing strategy. These organizations have a skilled and competent staff, the tools, and all the necessary resources to manage the plans and details of owning a business, and bringing the components together correctly is what produces an extremely successful and prosperous business.
Predatory forces continue to grow and prosper while the independent pharmacist is paying for the success of others by continuing to lose market share and sacrifice margins. This trend must be stopped before you are suddenly faced with no way to continue to stay in business and/or, enjoy doing so.
To survive in the retail prescription market place and compete effectively with the aggressive predatory forces encroaching on the independents future, certain processes in management and marketing must be addressed.
Critical areas of managing the business of pharmacy must receive a great deal of focus. You must have correct record keeping procedures in place in order to monitor your business, day-by-day, quickly, accurately, and with the least amount of physical effort by the pharmacy owner. RPMS provides the independent pharmacist with the staff and unparalleled resources to compete effectively and gain the leverage needed in today's marketplace.
