A Discussion of Things That Affect Medical Sales Performance

Audio

This is a relaunch of The Medical Sales Guru Podcast. In this episode, Mace discusses many factors that affect your medical sales performance such as:

  • Why podcasts are valuable to medical sales reps
  • What you need to do to learn the skills and content to sell more effectively
  • Why you need to understand how your customers learn so you know how to sell to them
  • How to pressure-proof your presentations
  • Knowing who your real competitor is
  • How to stop working for free (which you might do on occasion, even though you’re collecting a paycheck)
  • Why you didn’t get into medical sales to make a living (it’s not what you think…listen and see if you agree)
  • Why you need to invest in your own success or you’re in big trouble
  • Why what you know doesn’t matter

The Changing Model for O.R. Medical Sales Reps

I get asked this question often: “Is the model for reps who sell to operating rooms changing?” The answer is yes, as I also wrote about in The Medical Sales Blog. The most important thing that any rep who sells devices to operating rooms can do…is discussed in this podcast. It’s too important not to pay attention!

If this is a message that your healthcare sales team needs to hear, I’d be happy to deliver it at your next National Sales Meeting. Give me a call at 561.333.8080 and I’ll discuss exactly how I can help your sales team to drive profitable sales into the future.

Please comment with respect to the changing model for OR medical sales reps in the comments section below.

Medical Sales Mistakes: Brief Encounters with Health Care Clinicians and Decision Makers—To Sell or Not to Sell?

What do you do when you have a chance encounter with a physician, nurse, materials manager, CEO, or any other health care decision-maker…do you go for the short, abbreviated sales presentation (e.g. the scrub sink sale), or do you wait for a better time.  I have done it both ways and I have worked with sales forces who have done it both ways and one way is almost always more advantageous.  In this podcast I recommend what works best in most situations, but of course, the final decision is up to you.  You may only have one opportunity—Decide well!
