KIRSTEN’S ADVICE FOR OTHER INVENTORY MANAGERS
During our conversation, Kirsten shares her advice with other inventory managers: “Get yourself familiar with what your clinic has. You can always talk to your vendors about new things coming in. Get to know your vendors, get to know your software. Also, get to know your technicians and what they need. They are going to be the ones that are really going to help you as to what their needs are and what they are going to run out of… even talk to your doctors. But, get to know your inventory, get to know what you have, and get to know your software.”
