  • 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)

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.

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!
