Establishing Win-Win Relationships With Internal Clients

is being presented by Herb Cohen, Senior Managing Partner, with Performance Connections International, Inc. and airs on Wednesday, September 29th, 2010. For more details or to register for this event, please visit our site at www.fxconferences.com

Successful scientists, engineers and IT professionals realize the importance of developing ongoing and productive “win-win” relationships with others outside their own department. Especially when resources are stretched, influencing and negotiating with coworkers in different areas of the company to gain their time and commitment to meet your needs is critical to the success of your business.

When your goal is to influence coworkers, you often face unique challenges and issues. While you and your coworkers all support the greater needs of the company, understanding each other’s individual and departmental issues is important in getting results. This isn’t always simple to do, and, in fact, can become even more complicated when you must make your case to a group, rather than to an individual.

This audio conference discusses how the genetic wiring of most technical professionals is different than other occupational groups. Speaker Herb Cohen explains how to resolve issues in a positive way that maintains the internal customer relationship, and shares top strategies that are mutually beneficial to everyone and that will benefit you and your company in both the short and long term.

The health care environment is in a state of flux, and hospitals and physicians must deal with constant change and a variety of other challenges in meeting their goal of providing the best patient care possible. The good news for drug and device companies is that there exist within this climate opportunities for expanding and strengthening the relationships between clinicans and industry. Life sciences companies can add value by providing information and training sessions, ideas for expanded use of products within the scope of regulatory approval, and advice on how to get approval for expanded use of already approved technology.

In this audio conference, attendees learn ways in which they can capitalize on the current health care environment to further develop their clinican relationships, how this benefits both doctors and their patients, and why it simply makes good business sense.
