<\/span><\/p>\nDuring this time frame, I was looking for some lab testing and wasn’t able to find any pricing online. I also wasn’t able to go anywhere without a doctor’s order, and I just thought\u2013you know\u2013there has to be a better way. I just want to know what I’m going to pay out of pocket. I have insurance, but I have no way of knowing who can tell me what I’m gonna pay. And that was really frustrating for me, because I happen to be a firm believer in pricing transparency. So anyway, I did some research trying to figure this out and it turns out there is an option and it’s called Any Lab Test Now. It was then I noticed that there weren’t any locations in Kansas, but that there were in a lot of other locations all across the country. I thought this could really be my opportunity to bring something unique to Wichita and just fell in love with the concept.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAny Lab Test Now was attractive due to the variety of services that they offer that focus on customer service. I love good customer service, but it’s so rare these days. I felt like owning an Any Lab Test Now location could be a huge competitive advantage for us, because I knew that I could provide a meaningful customer experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To me, it’s really rewarding when people who are leaving our store stop and say, \u2018<\/span>Wow, that was really fast<\/span><\/i>,\u2019 or \u2018<\/span>You guys are so nice here<\/span><\/i>\u2019. I\u2019m always sure to reply with a thank you and a request to leave us a positive review. You know, people really do appreciate it when you’re willing to spend time on the phone with them, talking through things like what lab tests might be best for them or whether PCR tests are a reliable option when you have an upcoming flight. I\u2019ve found that they truly appreciate that extra time and care in making sure that you’re getting them the answers they need. So, I love that part of it. I love the interactions with the customers. Meeting and even exceeding their expectations is really fun for me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cMy husband and I had countless conversations about the timing of opening our Any Lab Test Now location. We didn\u2019t want to let the excitement of the business concept cloud the reality of the situation that we found ourselves in at the outset of the pandemic. But taking into account the different scenarios that we ran, we still felt very confident in the overall demand for these services over the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n We were willing to take that risk up front. We didn’t want to let something short term, like the pandemic, stop us from moving forward with our dream opportunity. But yes, it was still really scary because we were unsure of that foot traffic. And that was really important to this business because we rely on a lot of walk-ins. But I’m really happy we had the courage to move forward despite the pandemic. In a way, it was terrifying, but if I could go back, I would 100% do it again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cI will say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by it, as the first few months beat my expectations. And one critical factor is how I think I underestimated how important people’s health is to them. I think that COVID has even increased that level of attention to our health and that’s a good thing, because there are a lot of common diseases out there that can be prevented. People seem to have a newfound appreciation that life is short and they really take care of this one body they\u2019ve been given.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cTo me, the real value proposition for my customers is accessible health care. The accessibility is what I see for the people who take an active interest in monitoring their health. They want options. They want transparency and price. When you consider the accessibility for the underserved and those who may not have had access to these services before, I think that’s the true value proposition for the community here. We make it easy for people to get in and out in 10 to 15 minutes, and that’s the true value of accessible health care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cFor me, it\u2019s when people come in and say, \u2018Oh my goodness, I’m so glad that you guys open\u2013I\u2019ve been wanting to get tested for years.\u2019 And for some of these people who don’t have insurance, they haven’t been to the doctor in years. Many of them haven’t been tested for a single thing, not even the standard lab tests. And they tell me, \u2018I finally have an affordable option, where I can just come in and get some key things checked\u2019. That is the most rewarding thing for me. To just give people that accessible way to finally get the lab work that they’ve wanted done forever. It brings out the passion I have for helping people. We\u2019re providing a service that people truly value. And it doesn’t really get more fulfilling than that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How it Started\u2014How it\u2019s Going We asked Marcee how she found out about Any Lab Test Now\u2026 \u201cBack in May of 2020, I was kind of actively looking for a business to start.
