I鈥檓 sure as many of you know Wholesale Chad Kelly Jersey , I鈥檝e done quite a few webinars now on veterinary dermatology, on atopy, pruritus, on pyoderma and food allergy Wholesale Brendan Langley Jersey , on dermatophytosis. I鈥檓 sure as many of you know, I鈥檝e done quite a few webinars now on veterinary dermatology, on atopy, pruritus Wholesale Carlos Henderson Jersey , on pyoderma and food allergy, on dermatophytosis. And to some degree what I鈥檓 hoping to do 鈥?and please let me know whether I鈥檝e been successful or not at the end of it 鈥?is to try and distill how to perform a dermatology workup and improve treatment and diagnostic success. So I feel that the big thing with veterinary dermatology, which I have that perhaps people in practice don鈥檛 always have, is time. I have that great luxury that I have at least half an hour with referral cases that come in to me. And this really does help in improving my success rates. A
nd I鈥檓 very aware that this is not a luxury that everybody has. So what I鈥檇 like to do is really to start off by giving you some examples of some of the cases that I have seen Wholesale Demarcus Walker Jersey , and how I鈥檝e approached them And then moving on to the history-taking, which I think is just so important with a dermatological examination 鈥?and in fact any workup of a medical case or whatever 鈥?you know, the history is so important; then moving on to talk a little bit about the clinical examination. And then I鈥檝e put together quite an exhaustive group of pictures to show you the different types of lesions that you may see. I do apologize if this looks very basic. I know when I qualified twenty years ago I came out into practice and really didn鈥檛 know what I was looking at on the skin for the first couple of years. And I decided I best do something about it. So hopefully that will be a help. If it seems very basic, I apologize.
I wanted to then discuss the diagnostic tests that I use in veterinary dermatology. Obviously Wholesale Justin Simmons Jersey , by the time I鈥檝e done the clinical examination and before I start the diagnostic tests, I鈥檓 trying to put together in my own mind鈥檚 eye the potential diagnoses. And that鈥檚 going to then make me decide which is the test that I鈥檓 going to do next. No veterinarydermatology article is going to be complete without talking about steroids. So we will talk a little bit about those. And I very often get asked by people who want to refer a case, When should I refer it to you? Do you want it off steroids before it comes? What do you want to happen? So I thought I would spend a little bit of time talking about that. Then we鈥檙e very fortunate, I think Wholesale Jake Butt Jersey , to have two of the pathologists from Abbey Veterinary Services, Lucy Oldroyd and Richard Fox writing little bit about skin biopsying. Companies often have incentives for reps, but sometimes that isn't enough. To keep your team motivated, you could do a number of things:
1. Hold your own personal incentive for your team
This could be something as simple as a gift certificate for the one who sells the most in a month.
2. Set up a message board just for your personal team
A great way to keep in contact with everyone. Many wahm boards already have a section for your company Wholesale Garett Bolles Jersey , so if you don't have the time to set up your own you could use a specific board for your team.
3. Send out a monthly newsletter to your team
Keep it personal and let them know how you are doing ... motivate them by explaining some of the ways you have advanced during the month.
4. Contact your downline on a monthly basis
Personally contact everyone and see how they are doing. This is a good idea even if some in your team are making sales without your help. Just check in and see if anyone has questions or problems - they may be afraid to ask for help.
These are just a few things that you can do to keep your team motivated. Be creative and personal, this is always the best way to go!
