Independent Component 2 Plan Approval

CONTENT:
(1) Write a description of what you plan on doing for your independent study component.
(2) Describe in detail how you think your plan will meet the 30 hours work requirement.
(3) How does your independent study component relate to your EQ?

1. For my second independent study component, I will be analyzing the different ways sales people in the medical supplies business market their products: either from manufacturer to supplier, or supplier to doctor/hospital. I will be analyzing the materials used for these presentations and see what makes it an effective tool for them to market their product, as well as determine whether or not there can be something done to improve it.
2. Each meeting lasts about 45 minutes, and then I will take about 15 minutes asking questions and analyzing the presentation and materials given. I have already witnessed two of them, and will only need to watch at least 28 more. If I'm not at the office that day, and if someone comes by and they leave behind materials, then I will take half an hour to ask about the person and analyze the materials left behind. This should all be completed by the end of April.
3. What I am studying for this independent component is what happens when marketers/sales people market their medical supplies. In order to get word of their product out there, sales reps and marketers visit the places that they sell their product to and try to sell their product and make their consumers aware of their presence. This component will give me a chance to witness first-hand what happens when medical suplies are being marketed, and will hopefully give me a possible, more direct answer to my EQ.
