BIG warning sign!

Don’t Try to Steal the Customer’s Power

As a medical sales speaker who spends a lot of time training aspiring and experienced medical sales representatives, I love it when sales reps use terms like “evidence-based selling.” Selling in healthcare certainly demands the ability to discuss scientific data, but there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. When you do it the wrong way,  what you’re doing is driving customers away instead of pulling them in. In this episode, medical sales performance expert Mace Horoff discusses how to stop killing sales with a faulty evidence-based medical sales approach.

In this podcast, Mace Horoff gets into more depth in this topic that he wrote about recently in The Medical Sales Blog. Learn about the alternative to intuitive selling and why you should consider it for long term medical sales success.
