Sandler Discovery — Riverside Healthcare

Up-front: 30 min call. Outcomes — mutual fit decision, scheduled next step or polite no.

Budget: $1,800/mo confirmed. CFO approval needed above $2,400/mo.

Decision: Office Manager (champion), CFO (final $$), Practice Owner (signs).

Post-sell: Concerned about EMR integration timeline. Addressed — 14-day integration with our team driving.
