ATTENTION INDEPENDENT PHARMACY OWNERS
Finally, A Proven Way to Recruit, Retain, and Develop Pharmacy Technicians - Tailored for Independent Pharmacies
From the desk of Mike Johnston, CPhT-Adv
Founder & CEO, NPTA and BPTS
Dear Independent Pharmacy Owner,
If you aren't familiar with me, my name is Mike Johnston and I am the Founder/CEO of the National Pharmacy Technician Association (NPTA) and Board of Pharmacy Technician Specialties (BPTS).
In addition:
- I was recently voted the #23 most influential leader in Pharmacy by the Pharmacy 50 Awards.
- Dr. Lisa Faast calls me, "The Technician Whisperer."
- Todd Eury of the Pharmacy Podcast Network has dubbed me, "The Godfather of Pharmacy Technicians."
- I'm the sole pharmacy technician voting delegate of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
But what few people know is how much I love independent, community pharmacy.
That's where I really launched my career in pharmacy...was at an independent pharmacy.
I've even successfully launched, managed and exited my own independent pharmacy.
Now, I want to help transform your biggest staffing headaches into your biggest competitive advantage and asset.
And it's simpler than you think.
Introducing a BRAND NEW program exclusively for independent pharmacies, designed to solve your biggest staffing headaches:
Recruiting top technicians without endless job ads.
Keeping your best technicians happy and engaged.
Developing a high-performing team that drives your business forward.
But first, let's make sure this is right for you.
Because this program isn't for everyone.
WHO THIS IS FOR
- Independent pharmacy owners who want an efficient system to recruit, retain, and develop rockstar pharmacy techs.
- Owners who are tired of turnover and understaffed shifts.
- Pharmacies ready to become the employer of choice in their community.
- Those who want a simple, practical approach - without wasting time or money.
WHO THIS IS NOT FOR
- Chain pharmacies with a corporate HR team.
- Owners looking to staff their stores with the cheapest warm body you can find.
- Pharmacies that don't see the value in investing in their team.
WHY THIS IS DIFFERENT
If you're like most pharmacy owners
- you're exhausted with trying to find good quality candidates, and
- you don't have the resources to continuously train, mentor and develop your staff.
It's frustrating.
But the problem isn't you or your organization.
The problem is an outdated approach to staffing and training.
The pharmacy industry has changed, and it's time for a new system.
One that helps you:
1. Recruit the right people - the ones who stay.
2. Retain your current team with perks and culture they'll love.
3. Develop your technicians into top performers.
This program gives you the tools, insights, and strategies to do all three - effortlessly.
WHY YOU NEED THIS NOW
Every day you wait is another day you risk:
Losing your best techs to the competition.
Struggling to fill open positions.
Spending more time fixing staffing problems than running your pharmacy.
This program is your shortcut to staffing success.
And here's the best part:
You don't need to figure it all out on your own. We've done the hard work for you, so you can focus on what you do best: running your pharmacy.
