QuickMedical Announces Successful Sales and Marketing Results for 2012

Thursday, December 13th, 2012


Issaquah, WA (PRWEB) December 11, 2012

QuickMedical continues to surpass sales goals by incorporating fundamental marketing and sales strategies. The basic sales and marketing activities that helped to grow the company in the past, continues to help the company grow sales and market share in 2012.

“One of the fundamental reasons why we have continued to grow at 25% per year over the last 10 years is because we control our growth,” said Loren Timmons, Marketing Director at QuickMedical. “We measure much of our performance by asking our customers how we’re doing. Growing too fast or in the wrong direction will increase customer complaints, reduce sales, and in the long-term hurt the company’s reputation; out of control growth is a cancer.”

QuickMedical has taken steps to add new technology software that increases security for their on-line order processing service. They have added a paperless accounting system to help reduce cost and continue to hire more sales and customer service personnel.

Mr. Timmons concluded, “QuickMedical made the decision a number of years ago that they would aggressively pursue new business opportunities, private labeling (QM-Elite) and build a satisfied, but more importantly, loyal customer following. I believe that through our past hard work, an aggressive internet and print marketing campaign, and by adhering to fundamental sales and marketing concepts, QuickMedical will continue to grow and be profitable for years to come.

Presently QuickMedical is in the process of adding more facilities to handle the additional space needed to accommodate the nearly 40,000 products available through their website. In 2012 alone, QuickMedical added another 10,000 SKU’s to both their Government Sales and Commercial Sales product offerings.

“In good or bad economic times, our focus at QuickMedical has been to expand our product lines, increase our marketing and co-marketing effort, build long-term customer relationships, and sell outside of our comfort zone” said Scott Hanna, CEO at QuickMedical. “We provide added value to our existing services while meeting ongoing customer requests for new products that increase distribution channels and reduce cost.”

A Life Saved; A Life Celebrated: Chicago Police Officer Honored Guest for Advocate Day at Chicago Bears Game

Wednesday, December 12th, 2012

Oak Brook, Illinois (PRWEB) December 01, 2012

A Chicago police officer who was shot in the chest in the line of duty and whose life was saved due to the efforts of emergency teams at two hospitals within the Advocate Health Care system will join in activities preceding the Dec. 2 Chicago Bears home game as a special guest of Advocate.

Officer Del Pearson will participate in the coin toss prior to the Chicago Bears-Seattle Seahawks game during Advocate Day at Soldier Field. Advocate Health Care is a sponsor of the Chicago Bears.

Joining Pearson at Advocate Day festivities will be Mary Ann Brooks, RN, of Oak Forest, Ill. She was the officer?s primary critical care nurse during his five days of hospitalization in intensive care at Advocate Christ Medical Center, 4440 W. 95th St., Oak Lawn, last March. Top police officials frequently praised Brooks for the compassionate way in which she cared for and met everyone?s needs: the wounded officer, his family, and the many fellow officers who visited with him during his time at the hospital.

Officer Pearson lost nearly three-quarters of his blood at the crime scene when a bullet ripped into the left side of his chest just above his chest protector and pierced an artery under his collarbone. He was initially rushed by a fellow officer to Advocate Trinity Hospital, 2320 E. 93rd St., Chicago, where an emergency team there provided initial treatment and prepared him for immediate transport to Christ Medical Center?s Level I trauma center. At Christ Medical Center, he underwent five-and-a-half hours of emergency surgery to repair the artery.

?What stands out in this case is that a life was saved because two hospitals within the Advocate system played such an integral part to provide the necessary emergency care. We are honored to have Officer Pearson join us today,? said Jim Skogsbergh, president and CEO of Advocate Health Care.
