medical sales during covid-19

Steve Benson is the founder and CEO of Badger Maps, an incredible software that allows outside sales reps to work their territories with maximal efficiency. Steve’s company has access to data from over 5,000 companies – data that tells a story about how sales has changed since COVID-19 appeared in the U.S.

In this special edition of the Medical Sales Guru Podcast and Medical Sales Channel, I interview Steve about changes in the sales landscape and what sales reps should be doing right now to prepare for the post-COVID world. Enjoy and benefit from Steve’s unique perspective!

Focus on the patient and sell more!

Medical sales reps often forget why they do what they do. Sure, you sell to earn a commission, but ultimately it’s to make a difference for the patient or those that treat patients. If you stay focused that “the patient always comes first,” you’ll elevate yourself and your products in your customers’ eyes.

Listen to this short podcast episode to learn how to leverage the power of a patient focus.

Overcoming Customers’ Perception of Your Youth & Inexperience

If you’re new to medical sales and on the young side of the age curve, a challenge might be establishing credibility. In fact, establishing creditability is not necessarily a function of age (pay attention you older and more experienced reps!). This is a common concern. I get asked about it often. And it IS a REAL ISSUE.

So, have a seat, turn up the volume and listen as I discuss this important subject.

You can also listen on iTunes. Just search “The Medical Sales Guru Podcast.” BTW, it would be really cool and most appreciated if you could leave a review, so Thank You!

Banning medical sales reps from the operating room – it’s not the worst thing…

Medical sales representatives who sell products used in the operating room tend to freak out a bit when they hear reports of sales reps being banned in the O.R. Could this happen? Yes, in fact, it’s happening already. But before you think this is all gloom and doom, take a moment to consider what this really means – and most importantly how it can be an opportunity for you. That’s what I talk about in this video podcast.

Medical Reps: Resist the Urge to Be A Yes-Person

Medical sales representatives are taught to provide good customer service. They also adapt the attitude that “the customer is always right.” While these tenets of sales may be good to follow, being a compliant yes-person during medical sales conversations is counter-productive to the primary goal – to sell! In this podcast, learn how to avoid this common mistake and what you should do instead.
