Question:    When your client requests a prescription to buy elsewhere, you ...
 
A>  Gladly mail the prescription and thank them calling
WRONG: You will lose 100% of the opportunity; not only for the prescription item(s), but for all the other items they may buy from your competitor.
 
B>  Refuse to give the prescription and thank them for calling
WRONG: Illegal in some states, unethical in most others.  This is a sure-way to convince your client to shop...for another veterinarian.
 
C>  Lower your price and even mail the product
WRONG: This only works when you are given the opportunity to meet/beat the price.  Most items purchased on-line do not require a prescription so your client never gives you the chance to meet or beat the price.
 
D>  Refer them to YOUR on-line pharmacy.
CORRECT! Legal in every state.  Keep 100% of the profit.  Cross-sell to increase average order size.  Automatic e-mail reminders mean increased compliance.  Make it easy for your clients to remain your clients!
