Independent Pharmacy Success Program™ (IPSP)
Proven systems to increase customer loyalty, team engagement
and profitability in your pharmacy.
What We Do
Independent pharmacy owners are challenged like never before. An independent pharmacy needs to be communicating the value they provide, not just what they sell. Their team, as the front-line engagement with customers, needs to be clear on the value they bring and how to deliver a customer experience that’s consistent with the value of the business.
The challenge is most pharmacy clerks, cashiers & techs have been taught the tasks of their role, and not the impact of how they do their tasks and what experience is being created.
Everyone wants to feel they are winning in their role, and pharmacies want to build trusted relationships with their customers.
The unifying key is for team members to have a different framework to be able to view their company and interactions from the customers’ perspective and know how to engage with customers to deliver value and build relationships – turning teams into heroes and customers into raving fans.
Who We Are
Patti Mara has worked with hundreds of independent pharmacies to reposition them for success and dramatically increase their customer loyalty, team engagement
and profitability.
Patti is the principal trainer and the author of the best selling book “UpSolutions – Turning Your Team into Heroes and Customers into Raving Fans“.
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
