Service Anniversaries


Account Executive Mike Pedersen
Celebrates Five Years

Mike Pedersen

"Congratulations to Mike Pedersen on his five-year anniversary with Cassling! Mike came back to Cassling after a few years away to take the Product Specialist position for C-arms and Urology back in 2006.  After a successful four years in that role, including a fantastic year in 2008 where he sold 16 C-arms and 13 Urology Systems, Mike moved into the role of Account Executive covering the Central Iowa territory.  

 

Mike has immediately made an impact in Des Moines with sales successes at Methodist and Iowa Radiology; his non-stop work ethic shows in his new role as evident in his knowledge of all opportunities across his territory. Mike, thank you for your great efforts over the last five years and congratulations on your milestone anniversary!"

- Andy Beer, vice president of sales

 

 

Account Executive Shane Slaughter
Celebrates Five Years

"I wanted to extend a congratulations to Shane Slaughter for achieving his fifth year at Cassling. Shane came to Cassling in 2006 from outside the industry and has done a fantastic job developing the market in South Dakota.  In 2010, Siemens awarded Cassling the State of North Dakota and over the past 18 months Shane has worked diligently to expand this market. He did such a great job, that in January of this year we had to hire a full time Account Executive for North Dakota, as it become too much to handle for one person.     

 

Shane's perseverance and tenacity has allowed him tremendous success in his career at Cassling and he is well on his way to back-to-back appearances at the Presidents Circle trip. Shane, thank you for all your hard work and effort and again congratulations!" 

- Tim Krzyzanowski, vice president of sales 

 

 

 
 

Employee Development  

 

Creating a Better BalanceBalance

Imagine that you have just been told that you have one year to live. What would you do? What priorities would you include in your life?

 

For most of us, creating balance is a constant challenge. So in order to better manage, you must define personal priorities and goals that will move you toward balance and fulfillment.

 

Defining Personal Priorities  

  1. Choose one of the below areas of your own where you'd like to achieve more balance. For this area, ask yourself what balance would look and feel like for you.
  2. Write down whatever comes to you - thoughts, feelings, ideas - as fully and as detailed as possible. 
  3. Finally, be as specific as possible - about what you're going to do to keep your commitment to yourself.

Mike's Message 

 

Mike CasslingCassling held our Annual Health-Care Summit last Thursday in Omaha. The day-long session included several prominent community educators who focused on topics such as patient safety and social media law. The Advisory Board presented on the future of health care and discussed short-term opportunities and long-term strategic implications of accountable care.

The Omaha session was our largest seminar to date, with more than 50 attendees. So far we have held five Investing in You seminars and four Webinars. We will finish the year with three additional sessions - two webinar offerings and a seminar in Coralville, Iowa.

These seminars strengthen our relationship with customers and are a great opportunity for us to provide education to further their development.
