Q

What is a Tram Flap?

A

TRAM stands for transverse rectus abdominis, a muscle in your lower abdomen between your waist and your pubic bone. A flap of this skin, fat, and all or part of the underlying rectus abdominus (“6-pack”) muscle are used to reconstruct the breast in a TRAM flap procedure.

Q

A

Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where any type of tissue is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site with an intact blood supply.

Q

What is the difference between a graft and a flap?

A

A graft does not have an intact blood supply and therefore relies on growth of new blood vessels. A flap is done to fill a defect such as a wound resulting from injury or surgery when the remaining tissue is unable to support a graft, or to rebuild more complex anatomic structures.

Emotional Impact. After rational drawing using data, now tell a story. One they can connect with that addresses issues the customer experiences every day. Tell a narrative how when these were addressed x, y, z, negative outcomes happened.

65
Q

Your Solution. Deliver your unique solution, what is is, how it is different and how it will help.

67
Q

When starting a sales pitch, what is more important to lead with: Customer Needs or your unique data/differences?

A

Customer Needs. By addressing the customers needs/challenges, telling a story they can connect with and understand that these challenges are real and that a solution must be done, then you can provide your unique solution to there problem.

Q
