Many providers are working to improve their retail "game," but some newer providers that completely committed to retail are writing the rules. Wayne Slavitt, founder and CEO of Mobül: The Mobility Store, started out as a retail-only provider in 2013, and he took some time to share some retail strategies and insights in the latest edition of the HME Business Podcast.

In episode 20, Slavitt discusses why providers need to create a compelling combination of service-oriented sales; how providing a product mix that appeals to all walks of consumers ensures sales; and the importance of fostering a store culture and sales approach that emphasizes interaction and compassion. For a guy who entered the HME market completely fresh, Slavitt's out-of-the-box approach has helped define how providers should approach retail HME.
