About Patti
Patti Mara is the principal trainer and the author of the book UpSolutions – Turning Your Team into Heroes and Customers into Raving Fans.

and profitability.
The results are a clear market message, a highly motivated team, and repeat customers. Team members become brand ambassadors for the company and heroes to customers.
Along with creating the Independent Pharmacy Success Program™ (IPSP), Patti worked with Pharmacy Development Services® (PDS) to create their business development material enabling pharmacy owners and their teams to find the right strategy to improve their business operations.
“In this articulate and engaging book, Patti Mara shows you how to capitalize on strengths you are currently overlooking to better serve your customers, increase your margins, and permanently escape competition. Her UpSolutions process is easy to understand and implement, and is based on years of experience working with business owners and teams. If you’d rather provide solutions than sell, and would rather build relationships than simply handle transactions, then this book is for you. I highly recommend it!”

About The Book
What’s interesting is the big box stores can’t play the independent’s game of business – creating value and relationship.
The challenge is we have fallen into the habit of treating our customers as transactions and focusing on sales rather than the solutions your unique business provides.
UpSolutions is a simple formula for both business owners and the front-line team members to position themselves as solution providers and trusted resources for their customers – enabling the business to stand out from the crowd, attract customers and increase profitability.
UpSolutions is the recipe for independent businesses to survive and thrive in a period of rapid change.
