    A question I hear or read often is, ‘is that professional enough?’ What is ‘professional’, and how is one professional and what is considered unprofessional?



    The actual definition of ‘professional’ is “Of, relating to, engaged in, or suitable for a profession: lawyers, doctors, and other professional people.” Or “Conforming to the standards of a profession
    According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product
    : professional behavior.”



    When considering whether a service or location is professional, a great response comes from the dictionary again, which defines professional as “A skilled practitioner; an expert.” I have met many skilled practitioners who are not very professional. I have met many experts who I don’t initially consider a ‘professional’, but who co

    Examples of combination products may in
    nvey a very professional and confident image.



    Sounds confusing, huh? Yes. In my opinion, a professional person is one who can convey their message or provide their service in a manner appropriate for his/her clientele. When I worked at the hospital, we were required to dress in ‘appropriate professional dress’, but if we worked in the clinics, we were enco
    lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together.

    uraged to not overdress. We understood this to mean to not make the clientele feel uncomfortable about their own dress, but be ‘professional’ enough so we were not wearing tube tops and mini skirts.



    When considering what creates a professional image, we must look at two things; our appearance and how we act. Let’s now look at these two topics.



    here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe

    I still laugh when I think of one of the first topics covered in class when I started my dietetics program; it was on how to dress, wear our hair, and so forth. I even remember the suggestion to wear glasses, just for the studious appearance it gave us.



    But the bottom line is this: When you attend networking events or seminars, what is the

    impression you wish to convey to others? The message you want to pass on about yourself will be reflected in how you dress and present yourself. For anyone in business, every person you come into contact with is a potential client or referral source, and when this is most important is at networking or business functions.



    When considering professional dress

Extra-long sleeves, short skirts and thick soles may be trendy and fun to wear at casual events, but is that the appropriate message in a business setting? The next event you

    Several months ago I attended a marketing seminar. Most of us dressed in what is today known as ‘business casual’. Except for one woman; she wore sweats... She was out of place and was not conveying a messag

    Does this mean that we must always wear a jacket? Not always. However, according to Professional Imagine Consultant (http://www.professionalimagedress.com/), there are six occasions that all women do benefit from wearing a jacket. These include;
    1. When meeting a clie

    2. When giving a presentation.
    3. When attending meetings.
    4. During an interview (including being interviewed by someone).
    5. If you work in an office where clients drop in.
    6. When you appear in court.

All should be low-key and complementary to our dress, coloring and body type. People should not look at your hair and wonder how you got that color (in a bad way), or wish they could escape from you because the perfume is so stron

    Business etiquette
    Your appearance is important, but just as important is how you act and interact w
    dd to the challenges in developing combination products:

    Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well?
    Which combination prod

I have no doubt that every professional reading this article knows their area of specialty. It’s your delivery that will make the difference, however. In fact, 70% of what others believe about you, personally and professionally, is based on yo

    Which therapeutic categories to select?
    Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients?

    What exactly is business etiquette? Etiquette is about presenting yourself with the kind of polish that shows others you can be taken seriously. It is about being comfortable around people and helping them become comfortable around you. It is showing your self-confidence, or at least appearing self-confident.

    Business etiquette is being courteous and thoughtful to those around you. It involves the little things, such as how to address a person, how to introduce people, punctuality, returning phone calls, avoiding interruptions, showing an appropriate level of formality or informality, engaging in adequate small talk to calm a new client, or avoiding it completely.

    Your professional image will continue to be impressed on clients if your billing and services are organized and consistent. Do you have a billing form? Do you have a policy to call new clients as a reminder of first appointment? Are potential clients able to leave a message if they call and you are not available? And, do you return calls promptly? Are you abl

That one little step could lead to a new client, AND future referrals. If you tell someone you meet at such an event that you will do something, make sure you follow through.

    Ultimately, it is the message you want to convey by your interaction and appearance, and the quality of service you provide that will give your clients the sense that they are working with a professional.
