So, as you can imagine, I&#8217;m NOT\u00a0popular very often when I&#8217;m at home.

Because AcuGraph is intriguing. It&#8217;s cool. It&#8217;s innovative. Everyone wants a turn. They want a personal\u00a0analysis of their meridians. They want the report.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been attending FSOMA for\u00a0six\u00a0years now. Funny thing is,\u00a0I don&#8217;t even have to do the selling of AcuGraph anymore. Practitioners who already use it\u00a0stand around and sell it for me.<\/p>\n<p>This happened just last week. Here are some examples of comments I heard at the show:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u00a0<span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8220;AcuGraph was <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">the best purchase I&#8217;ve ever made<\/span>.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8220;<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Patients love AcuGraph<\/span>!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000;\">&#8220;I love how Miridia Technology is <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">always expanding<\/span> AcuGraph.

Period. It works.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do you want 15 new patients in your office NOW? AcuGraph at a health fair can do that for you.<\/li>\n<li>Do you want to meet 40 new prospective patients who are ALL interested in what you offer? AcuGraph at a health fair can do that for you.<\/li>\n<li>Do you want to fill your practice when business is slow? AcuGraph at a health fair can do that for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A couple of years ago I met an acupuncturist at FSOMA. And she:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Was a new practitioner at the time and was concerned about making an investment in AcuGraph;<\/li>\n<li>Knew that she needed new patients; and<\/li>\n<li>Recognized that AcuGraph would be a good fit for her office\u2013yet, she was still nervous about making the investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This year I met up with her at a restaurant by the pool. She and her husband couldn&#8217;t thank me enough for convincing her that AcuGraph was the right choice for her clinic.
