Provider (ESP)
Monday,
June 19, 2006 – HealthCare Institute of
New Jersey
(HINJ) press conference releasing their 2006 Annual Economic Report
Good
afternoon. First of all, thank you for the opportunity to represent vendors
in
Southern New Jersey.
Event
Solutions Provider, better known as ESP, has been working within the Pharma
and Medical Industry since our inception in 1999.
We have a true appreciation for the value that these industries bring
to our region of
Southern New
Jersey
.
They have played a large part in our growth from a two-person
operation working out of a basement to a full-fledged corporation with
legitimate office space. And, the impact doesn’t stop there, at this time,
each of our employees has their home in
Southern New Jersey
and for the most part,
spends their disposable income in
Southern New Jersey.
Our
relationship within the Pharma & Medical industry has also benefited our
vendors. Whether for marketing, printing or any other services, we look to
our local vendors first. We have
been very successful keeping the trickle down effect within our region.
Working
within the Pharma & Medical Industry is unlike working in almost any
other. For example, we need to keep current with the HealthCare Compliance
Codes as they pertain to a wide variety of services that we coordinate for
our clients. We need to understand the limitation/restrictions that have
been placed upon our clients to fully support and execute their needs. As
simple as it may sound, two such examples are the coordination &
purchasing of tradeshow booth premiums and concierge services for dinners
between sales reps and clients. We do this to ensure that our Pharmaceutical
& Medical clients are served efficiently as well as protect them
legally. It does lead to a
rather exciting working relationship at times!
We
further see their impact on
Southern New Jersey
through involvement with our industry peers and
relationships with local Chambers of Commerce as we hear and see how they
are growing as a direct and sometimes indirect result of relationships being
formed with these industries.
We
look forward to enjoying the long-term relationships that have been created
as well as being an active voice in ensuring that
Southern New Jersey
is continually seen as a
highly vibrant asset to the health and well-being of the Pharmaceutical and
Medical Technology Industry.
Thank
you.
