Danielle's reflection on the Procter and Gamble Lunch and Learn
I really enjoyed Gary Carpenter's presentation on behalf of Procter and Gamble. Not only did he provide us with free samples of toothbrushes and toothpaste, but he also provided us with free lunch! Nothing gets much better then that! It was really interesting to be able to hear from an employee about the products instead of an advertisement on t.v. The information that he was telling us about the whitening mouth wash and how he feels about it was really cool because he was real with us and not trying to have us buy into it just because its a product that he sells. To me, it showed that we could really trust what he had to say. I was also really excited about the free samples of the Crest Pro Health toothpaste. I use it every morning and when we start seeing patients, it'll be nice to give them my opinion of the product. I even noticed myself talking about the products that he informed us of to my family and friends, almost to the point where they felt they were at a lunch and learn.
Another product that I was really impressed with, was the new line of Oral Vitality. Finally, a power tooth brush that everyone can afford that is not batter operated! I really liked how there is more then one option with the toothbrush that the consumers can choose from as well.
All in all I really enjoyed Mr. Carpenters presentation! I loved how he made it personal (showing us his family) to the fun trivia questions in between the slides, and of course the free lunch! It was a great start to the many lunch and learns!

Advertisment's on TV act like their product is the top of the world and nothing else is better than it. Gary Carpenter showed by his knowledge based opinion that some of their products are better than the others. That not every one of their products are good! This show's the truth, it's not only what he "has" to say but it's more of what he wants to say which will eventually get more people to but the products. I have not tried out the Crest Pro Health toothpaste but after reading your reflection, I trust your opinion and even told my mom to try it when she was asking about different toothpaste's. The fact that your said Mr. Carpenter was being "real" is what make's him so successful. You also talked about the Oral Vitality; this is a great toothbrush for people that might have never used a power toothbrush and just want to try it out. I actually bought 4 of them to give out for Christmas gifts this year. It sound's like Gary Carpenter was a great representative for Procter and Gamble not only because he gave his opinion but he also made it personal and added a little fun with the trivia to the presentation.
