Re: Compassionate Scheduling

Bejuce:

Thanks for your input. I was hoping that the act of doing something kind for someone else would be enough incentive. A monetary incentive may kill the idea for the HMO because they are going to necessarily incur a little bit more paperwork costs.

I am sure someone who has had breast cancer would gladly trade dates, but would just an average person be willing to trade for compassionate reasons? I am betting that a good percentage of people are really pretty decent and would be willing to trade.

Thank you everyone for your input! I think I will go to customer service later on in the week because you have given me something more to think about. I am probably going to only get one chance to sell the program so I better be as prepared as possible.
