Performance Group Testimonials
“Have you been telling yourself for years that you are going to get your financial ducks in a row someday? Well, if you want to finally get it done, I have a solution to get you from A to Z. Furthermore, if you have a sense that you don't possess the skills that are needed to accomplish this goal, this process will educate you in an organized and easy to understand format. With your new found knowledge and financial organization, you will finally find that you have the time and ability to actually set some long desired goals to improve the return on your investment. I have only completed the initial steps of this program and already see how invaluable it is going to be for
me.
With respect to the performance group structure, this is a proven system to help you improve your organization. From my initial involvement, I would define it as an easy way to parlay your efforts and have better results. We all know the value that we get by meeting with others in the similar circumstance of owning pharmacies. This is just an organized approach of using this forum. The one thing that a performance group offers that simply meeting with a colleague does not is the accountability factor. Everyone can easily say that they are going to implement a good idea, but where is the follow up?
In this structure, you feel a sense of accountability to actually follow through on your stated plans. I feel confident that this will make me much more productive over
time. In conclusion, I can honestly state that there is immeasurable value in this program. You owe it to yourself to take advantage of this option. NCPA is sponsoring this initiative because of the results that it can have for independent pharmacy in general. I would encourage you to jump on this idea and improve your organization.“

“The
good news about independent community pharmacy is we're
independent, but that can also be the bad news. I think
one of the "bad news" parts of being independent is
that you can feel isolated, and there isn't a good way to
benchmark your performance. The performance group gives
you the benefit of a group of independent pharmacists who
are in it with you, and helps dispel the isolation. It
functions as a defacto Board of Directors, holding you
accountable to your own goals, applauding your achievements and
prodding you towards greater efforts if needed. The
benchmarking tools are of great value, and two days after the
first meeting, we were sharing benchmarks from our group with
our staff and using them to set new pharmacy goals for
gross margin improvement.”

“The
financial training is superb. Even if someone considers himself or
herself an expert in finance, they can learn something from your
training program. This is one of those rare programs that you can
actually go home and put $ in your pocket!
The
performance group is off to a great start. It is like the
networking that you do at conventions between the formal programs,
but you do it for 2 days. On top of that, the frequency of
the online and onsite meetings helps to keep you
focused and your goals in front of you constantly. This is a must
for any pharmacist to maintain an acceptable bottom line.”

”Any
pharmacy owner looking to increase profits, have better control of
your business and be able to interact with other goal oriented
pharmacy owners should participate in the BRS-Fit training and
become a performance group member. In the short time that I’ve
become I member I’ve looked critically at where my business is
at (reality check) and with BRS & performance group help I
have clear goals for this year and a plan on how to achieve these
goals. I’ve already instituted a number of new business
practices and have more to put in place. I’m looking forward to
measuring my results and seeing the extra profits come in. The
performance group is an awesome learning and mentoring experience.
It has been an invaluable experience! We are sharing our successes
and our learning experiences with each other while also holding
each other accountable to the goals and plans we have committed
to. I feel blessed that I have the opportunity to participate. I
believe this is an invaluable learning and business management
experience that every independent pharmacy owner would benefit
from.”

“My
decision to join the BRS Performance Group was based on the
opportunity to interact on a business level with other independent
pharmacy owners. After participating in the group meetings I
was even more convinced this was going to be an extremely
beneficial endeavor. Each of my fellow members had a unique
and fascinating story to tell about their business, challenges
and successes. I look forward to even greater benefits
as the group develops additional camaraderie and trust in one
another.”
