| Personally, I steer away from products that are marketed toward "diabetics"...that includes diabetic lotion, diabetic socks, ...all that stuff...
Also, aren't there several "diabetic supply" online shops that people can visit without getting into traffic? I just ordered some A1C kits from such a site.
If it was geared toward pumps, meters, continuous glucose monitors, and such...then I think the concept might work...but you'd have to get the coop dollars from a lot of hi-tech companies that already pay reps to sell their their products through doctors offices. Most of these items require an educator who is familiar in the company line.
The concept is good...but the product line is difficult. Also, Chicago is a huge area...unless you're central in the city, the suburbs can be difficult to navigate. The more central, the high the rents. |
