For many people, meeting and shaking the hands of prospective customers, is an act of bravery. They have to put on a smiling face and may end up going from one grouchy person to another. Some people call attending networking meetings, or a Chamber of Commerce get-together as pressing the flesh (shaking hands). I prefer the term “counting coup.”For Amercian Indians “counting coup” was a way to show bra

In this maze of medical billing and the countless number of forms, specifications and red tape, the GU0 record ranks up near the top of the list of things that drive billers crazy. The number of fields alone that need to be filled are enough to make you pull your hair out of your head.
