This Is the Level of Conversations at ACPN CEC
At the last ACPN Continuing Education Conference (CEC), Ziad Maalouf made a simple but uncomfortable point:
Many retail businesses struggle not because of poor sales —
but because they buy at the most expensive prices.
He went on to break down opportunity cost, real-life negotiation failures, and how pharmacists unknowingly destroy value by accepting supplier prices without truly negotiating.
He talked of a business that reduced its cost price from ₦9,000 to ₦3,800.
CEC delivered practical business thinking retail pharmacists can apply immediately.
CEC is not theory.
CEC equips pharmacists to think like professionals running a system, not just a shop. actually works in the real world.
