WISE Competitive Advantages:
WISE represents a unique and innovative model that it brings to the medical tourism industry. Many of the model's components have been highly successful in other marketing intensive industries and appear to be well suited for medical tourism. With that said, WISE is anything but a "me too" player in the marketplace. WISE brings several competitive advantages that are noteworthy.
SWOT Analysis: Strengths
Wise brings several things to this business proposition inluding considerable strengths, unique strategies, and competitive advantages including:
SWOT Analysis: Weakness
Like any start up business there are weaknesses that need to be examined and fortified. Several exist in this plan as listed below with a quick explanation as to how they are being addressed by the WISE Management Team:
Participation in WISE marketing program requires a modest investment from sales talent in the form of a performance deposit that will be refunded after a nominal of sales are made. (This will likely discourage candidates that either are incapable of producing the performance deposit or do not have the confidence to invest in themselves. (WISE considers that to be a service to the prospective salesperson as lack of adequate funds to hold one over until the business catches momentum or lack of confidence are indicators that the chance of success of that candidate is less than adequately funded, confident prospects.) WISE also uses the performance deposit to cement the difference between a job offer (which is not part of the WISE marketing plan) and a business relationship. (This is the desired relationship that WISE is attempting to cultivate with prospective representatives.)
SWOT Analysis: Opportunities
The plan adequately presents the opportunities that have attracted WISE Teams interest to the business. To emphasize a few:
SWOT Analysis: Threats
There are various threats that warrant management and concern including:
WISE University or "WISE U" was created in order to provide uniform career learning within the field of medical tourism as it relates directly to the studies and practices of the World Institute of Surgical Excellence. The following are selected examples of material from WISE U:

Our objective is to work with you to reach a conclusion as rapidly as possible as to whether our mutual interests are well suited to forge a long term mutually beneficial professional relationship. We feel strongly that hasty ill-informed decisions rarely succeed and that we both must learn a great deal about each other in a short time in order to make a proper assessment of if it is in our mutual best interests to work together.

Warmest regards,
Anthony King
Vice President of Sales & Marketing North America
Steps in the Candidate Selection Process
Thoroughly review the www.wiseMDs.com main website and WISE USA Careers website which can be reached by clicking on the “careers” tab on www.wiseMDs.com or reached directly at www.wiseMDs.com/#!_careers.
Request an initial interview and submit the WISE Pre-interview questionnaire.
(Found at the bottom of this page)
As a courtesy all candidates who invested time in reviewing our online information will receive an initial interview as long as they have not been disqualified by their answers to questions contained in the pre-interview questionnaire. The interview is brief and is meant for a candidate to come prepared with questions. The primary purpose of the initial interview is to satisfy the questions of the candidate to determine if they feel both interested and well qualified for the position they are seeking. The WISE executive conducting the interview will clarify the requirements of the position, elaborate on the WISE culture and marketing support, detail specifically what characteristics the ideal candidate will need to possess and elaborate on the opportunities extended to successful candidates.
Receive additional information from WISE. At the conclusion of the initial interview if both the candidate and WISE executive feel that the potential for a mutually beneficial relationship exists then WISE will send candidate additional information to help in making an informed decision.
The WISE Plan a detailed marketing plan detailing the strategic initiatives for WISE for the next 36 months.*
Copy of the Marketing Agreement for WISE Partner or Executive Consultant as appropriate.*
The Deloitte Study on Medical Tourism titled: Consumers in Search of Value.
The Deloitte Study on Medical Tourism titled: Update and Implications.
*THE WISE MARKETING PLAN AND MARKETING AGREEMENTS CAN ONLY BE SUPPLIED TO PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATES THAT SIGN A NON DISCLOSURE – NON COMPETE- NON CIRCUMVENT AGREEMENT
Complete and submit information to WISE. At the conclusion of the initial interview if both the candidate and WISE executive agree that the potential for a mutually beneficial relationship exists, WISE will send candidate information to be promptly completed and returned to WISE to assist in learning more about the candidate so that WISE can reach an informed decision regarding the suitability of the candidate for the positions available.
WISE Personality Test: to be successful in choosing the right candidate for a position it is helpful to understand every aspect of their personality--- what they enjoy doing, how they work best, are they comfortable interacting with others and where their strengths and weaknesses lie. Your answers in the WISE personality test will help us gain the knowledge to make the right choice as to which, if any, position that we have available is a proper fit.
Each of the 4 quizzes in the test contains a series of questions designed to measure such traits as creativity, emotional stability, strong-mindedness, and sociability. There are no right or wrong answers---just revelations about the candidate that you are.
We have specific personality traits that we are looking for in candidates for specific positions. As an example confidence, discipline and ethics would all be important traits for a person seeking the important leadership position of a Regional Partner. Aggressiveness, persuasiveness, and an interest in serving others are an important characteristic of an Executive Consultant. Of course a healthy self image is useful in any position.
WISE IQ Test: The WISE IQ Test is similar to the elaborate standardized ones administered by professional psychologists--- professionally designed for WISE to measure a candidates cognitive skills, reasoning ability, quick-learning capability, and problem solving proficiency concentrating on verbal, mathematical, and spatial relations questions.
IQ can be a sticky issue for some. We at WISE feel that it is reasonable to assume that a more intelligent candidate has an advantage over someone of less intelligence. Colleges have entrance exams in an attempt to determine if a prospective student is “college material”. WISE is looking to help insure that if we choose a candidate for a position that they are up to the task.
IQ is NOT the only factor used in evaluating a candidate however, WISE only accepts candidates that score at 110 or above on the test.
Average IQ: 91-110 (50% of population)
Bright Normal: 111-119 (16.1% of population)
Gifted IQ: 120-127 (6.7% of population)
Very Gifted IQ: 128-135
Superior IQ: 136-142 (2.2 % of population are Very Gifted or Superior IQ)
Very Superior IQ: 143-151 (< 1% of population)
Near Genius: 152 (< 1% of population)
Genius: 159+ (< 1% of population)
Dull Normal: 80-90 (16.1% of population), Borderline Defective: 66-79 (6.7% of population), Defective: below 65 (2.2% of population)
Personal and Professional References: as part of the WISE due diligence process candidates must submit 2 personal and 2 professional references.
Candidate must extend permission for WISE to conduct a professional background check. WISE *DOES NOT* put a high degree of significance on credit score. We understand that bad things happen to good people. As an example many have ruined their credit due to a failed entrepreneurial effort, (which can be an excellent life lesson) or a medial issue (an area WISE is attempting to help). When we look at credit history, we are looking to make sure that we don’t see anything that appears to be deceptive or a lifelong pattern of not keeping commitments.
With regard to criminal history, WISE understands that people make mistakes in life
and that your past does not always equal your future. We will give you an
opportunity to tell us about the circumstances of your mistakes however, WISE will
not appoint a person that has been convicted of a felony for any of it’s positions.
If after conducting our due diligence WISE views you as a potential candidate for a position you will be invited to participate in an in depth interview with one or more members of the WISE management team. At this point, WISE has supplied you with a great deal of information and an initial interview opportunity to get your questions answered. This will be a very pointed discussion directed at you the candidate, typically lasts 60-90 minutes, and usually involves some spontaneous role play. The successful candidate will be expected to bring clarity to specifically what they want to accomplish representing WISE (the results that they are seeking in the relationship), why they desire the specific results stated (purpose), an outline of the action plan that will carry them to the attainment of their stated goals (motivation), and substantive examples of past achievement of worthy goals.
Optional Final Interview: sometimes either the candidate or WISE has a few final questions, concerns or comments before finalizing a decision as to whether both parties feel that they should go forward and consummate a professional relationship. WISE will grant any candidate who participates in an in depth interview the opportunity to have a final interview if an offer has not yet been made by WISE.
The execution of the marketing agreement specific to the position that is offered and accepted. The submitting of the performance deposit from the new WISE Partner or WISE Executive Consultant. Schedule initial training.

WISE Market Analysis
The Deloitte 2008 Survey of Health Care Consumers, a nationally representative, online survey of more than 3,000 Americans, found that medical tourism is expected to experience explosive growth over the next three to five years. Consider the following:
In the Deloitte Center for Health Solutions’ 2008 report, Medical Tourism: Consumers in Search of Value
The medical tourism industry and projected patient flow rates and financial implications over the next 10 years were taken into account. 750,000 Americans traveled abroad for medical care in 2007. Barring any tempering factors such as supply constraints, resistance from health plans, increased domestic competition, or governmental policies, outbound medical tourism could reach upwards of 1.6 million patients in 2012, with sustainable annual growth of 35 percent.
Market Analysis: Timing
The impact of dramatically rising U.S. health care costs (8% per year) is felt in every household and by every company. Even consumers with employer sponsored health insurance are increasingly considering outbound medical tourism as a viable care option: As their plan deductibles increase, many of the services available in outbound settings may be purchased under the deductible limit, thus conserving their Health Savings Account (HSA) balance. Medical care in countries such as Costa Rica can cost as little as 30 percent of the cost of comparable care in the United States.
The price is remarkably lower for a variety of services, and often includes airfare and a stay in a resort, hotel or recovery center. Thanks, in part to these low-cost care alternatives, which almost resemble a mini-vacation, interest in medical tourism is strong and positive.
