I have completed my 33rd year as the Principal and President of Nor'West Medical Inc. and have accumulated vast knowledge and experience of over 43 years in sales and marketing of med-surg products. I have extensive knowledge in acute care and understand the complexities of selling a medical product, both direct or thru a medical distribution system. I understand the relationship of both systems, and of Authorized Distributor Agreements(ADA) and Group Purchasing Organizations. (GPO) My expertise and knowledge in getting GPO contracts has been successful in smaller companies with limited resources. I can save a client money and time by limiting onset mistakes made in launching a medical product to market.
