[president at nfbmd.org]

Please see an interesting job opportunity specific to the blind below.

 

Do you enjoy sales?

Are you active in your local blind & low vision community?

 

Accessible Pharmacy is a comprehensive, home delivery pharmacy service
specializing in the needs of the blind and low vision community and their
families.  We are seeking ambitious, blind individuals to help us sell our
services to the local blind and low vision community in the following
metropolitan areas: 

 

.        Baltimore, Maryland

*        Central Pennsylvania

 

We were founded by blind and sighted experts in the areas of accessibility,
technology and medicine and we are the only provider of its kind in the
United States. Our co-founder, and Chief Marketing and Accessibility Officer
was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa in his early 20's. After getting his
PhD in marketing with a focus on retail accessibility, he identified a
massive void in the marketplace: medication management and pharmacy services
for the blind. After exhausting efforts to encourage the nation's leading
pharmacies to be more accessible, we decided to create our own marketplace!

 

What makes us unique is our ability to educate blind patients and family
members, healthcare providers and caregivers to implement the best
medication plan. Our goal is to achieve the best medical outcomes as well as
help patients become more independent. Our pharmacy professionals are
trained to understand the unique needs of those who are blind and low
vision. We can offer both high-tech and low-tech solutions to assist with
reminders, refills and error reduction and overall medication management.
There are no additional fees for this support.

 

We employ blind as well as sighted customer service and sales
representatives because we believe that the blind should create solutions
for the blind. We encourage our patients to be part of the ongoing process
to maximize the solutions.

 

In addition to prescription medication, we also supply: Vitamins &
supplements, over-the-counter drugs, health and beauty aids and small
medical equipment. 

 

This isn't just a job - it provides an invaluable healthcare solution to
your local community. You will be trained about the nuances and benefits of
Accessible Pharmacy and you will be responsible for communicating this
information to your local blind organizations and individuals with full
support from the Accessible Pharmacy healthcare team.

 

Details:

*	Sales experience to individuals and/or organizations preferred (B to
C and B to B)
*	Performance-based compensation and bonus programs
*	Local travel only and the majority of sales can be done on the phone
*	Must be comfortable speaking to groups in person, on the phone or
online

organizations.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
