For some reason, that question sometimes becomes complicated to explain. I have seen several staff struggle with trying to plug our entire suite of products and services into a single sentence or two. In the course of a day in our office, you might see military personal, guide service owners, people getting ready to sail around the world or the captain of a super-yacht provisioning medical supplies, setting up projects or evaluating evacuation plans. It is understandable then that putting Remote Medical International into a box on the telephone is difficult.
Today, I set out to make a short pitch explaining what we do by a series of activities involving all the office staff. I stayed out of it and facilitated a couple of group activities, took a vote and we arrived at the following statement:
“We are a medical and rescue services company specializing in remote areas. We provide equipment, training, telemedicine and onsite medical care for anyone who works or plays where the hospital is not an option.“
That’s our short sales pitch, and our mission remains the same:
“To enable humans to explore the most remote places in world by providing an unrivaled level of medical and rescue services.”
Since no blog entry is complete without a good photo, I attached an image of a rafting trip we took on a break while working on a project in Alaska this past summer, thanks to our friends at the Denali Salmon Bake.
