Procter and Gamble Reflection: Michelle Uhlig
I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation by Gary Carpenter, the representative for Proctor and Gamble. The presentation was very informative. He told us how to receive the latest products, what the leading selling products for proctor and gamble are and some of the latest products that are being heavily advertised.
I really enjoyed learning about the Crest Pro-Health toothpaste. Mr. Carpenter was very persuasive in telling us all the aspects that the toothpaste is used to protect. This kind of toothpaste is also ADA accepted, which gives it great credibility. It was very interesting to learn about the process this toothpaste had to go through in order to be put on the market and be ADA accepted. Mr. Carpenter was also very persuasive in promoting the Vitality toothbrush. This is a power brush for only twenty dollars versus other power brushes which can run up to be more than one hundred dollars.
Mr. Carpenter encouraged us to use various products so that we could use our own personal input to tell patients about the products we are promoting. He spoke to us as if we were professionals. It was very encouraging to hear him speak about the new products that we will be promoting now and in the future. I found myself telling my friends and family about the presentation and persuading them to try the latest products. It was very interesting to hear about how some products are used just to compete with other companies products, such as the whitening mouthwash. The presentation was very educational. It gave me a new perspective and more knowledge towards becoming a highly looked upon professional.
