Look for Opportunity

Competition is good. If you pay attention and can create opportunities you can prosper. Case in point. Medicare required all durable medical equipment companies to undergo a review and accreditation process before awarding Medicare numbers. Acquiring a Medicare number provides the DME supplier with the opportunity to bill Medicare for services. The preparation process involves significant documentation and if not done correctly, may delay or cause a DME supplier to be denied accreditation.

As FLBSi evaluated the accreditation process we learned that Medicare awarded contracts for 10 companies to conduct the accreditation process for tens of thousands of companies. We also learned that accreditation organizations and other consulting companies were charging clients thousands of dollars to prepare and submit applications. It was possible to spend anywhere from $2,500-$8,000 and incur other charges for on-site mock surveys, updates and other nice to have things but not exactly relevant to getting accredited.

At FLBSi we made a very sharp assessment. All of the ginger bread stuff was irrelevant unless the DME Supplier gained accreditation. The Maison we established was get the DME supplier accredited as quickly as possible and backfill any other relevant details. ProLink was an on-line program we built to guide our clients through the process and it was backed up with nearly immediate telephone and email support.  All of this for $1,499.00.

This example highlights the creative and visionary skills that FLBSi posses. Regardless of the situation, FLBSi will help any company find a way to do things more productively and less costly.  Got an idea, tell us about and let us go to work on a solution learn more at www.filelinkusa.com

 


Making Money in a Tough Economy

August 12, 2009 09:11 by Steve Tabeling

It seems that everywhere you look there is a fancy scheme to get rich quick. We know that doesn't happen in real life...we'll maybe once in awhile someone gets lucky. As a small business owner I looked for a market niche in the middle 90's and started my document scanning business. I looked around saw mountains of paper and decided I could provide the market with a very affordable way to increase productivity, profitability and store important documents.

Unfortunately, it takes bucks to get marketing underway. So, I built up the business the old fashioned way, hard work and referral.  That worked for awhile but then I wanted to grow but do so under control. I launched Executive Referral Program. This was a very easy, straightforward program that paid generous dollars for quality referrals.

I have freshened up the program and am relaunching to take advantage of new opportunities that have emerged as the web has matured.

This is how the program works. You refer a company that is interested in document scanning and in turn I will give you a generous fee and as a bonus, 6 months of residual income. This is a straightforward, simple way to increase your cash flow and bring real value to companies that need my service. I don't employ salesman or have extremely high overhead. The majority of my staff are telecommuters so we are not burdened with fixed costs that can choke the life out of a company. Very simply, I have more opportunity to reward those who refer to us.
