Today I would like to focus on “A Day in the Life of a Happier At Home Owner”. The angle will be about how community pharmacy owners can manage this while operating their pharmacy businesses. Below are some questions for Marie to guide the conversation.
- What are the factors that you considered when deciding to start you Happier At Home business? (ex/ wanting to build a business for yourself that builds equity, wanting to increase quality of care of your community, wanting independence and to earn financially without health insurance oversite)
- Are you stuck in an office running your business? Focus here should be how you are a passive owner (as the pharmacy owners will be), and that you oversee and manage the administrative staff. That you are responsible for strategy for the growth of your company
- You hired a qualified full-time employee to work in the business day to day?
- As the VP of Training and Field Operations of the Happier At Home franchise, what characteristic have you seen in the pharmacy owners that may be a predictor to success? Ex/ being forward-thinking, entrepreneurial, following our processes
- What types of activities does the Business Support Manager do? Can talk about day-to-day activities
- Any closing advice or suggestions to our Community Pharmacy owners listening today? Perhaps can talk about your growth and that even though you were nervous about moving forward, you are glad that you did and for what reasons.
