Medical Sales Viewpoint Briefing Session: You Can No Longer Afford Your Legacy Sales Model
Historically, double-digit growth allowed medical companies to spend lots of money to cover up sales execution gaps. Moreover, hospitals painlessly swallowed price increases, cushioning vendor P&L’s. Now the game has changed, with many medical vendors predicting only 4-6% growth. . .so they can no longer afford these sales inefficiencies. This briefing will explore how winning vendors are succeeding with today’s increasingly cost- and value-conscious buyers.

The rules for Medical Sales are changing radically. Physicians have a lesser role in buying decisions, while VACs, hospital administrators and IDNs have increasing influence. For sustained growth, Medical Sales leaders need creative strategies to adapt to these new rules. Selecting the right mix of clinical and non-clinical sales resources and deploying a new mix of resources in a new cost profile can greatly influence sales growth potential.
