...companies out there. It's like 80-20." Once he identifies a likely prospect, Shemmer places a call to the CEO for more information, then drafts a one-page summary of the company for his client, a time-consuming prospect. "It takes a while," he says. "You have to dissect a company in an hour so the buyer can figure out, 'Do we want this...
...purveyors of this voodoo medicine today point with pride to the fact that most U.S. medical schools, influenced by research grants and public opinion, have launched courses in alternative medicine, the result will not be what they expect.
