Lab Instruments & Supplies

Define Your Value Proposition

Develop the Right Go-to-Market Model to Support Innovation and Collaboration

Life sciences accounts for the largest share in the analytical instruments industry, encompassing a wide range of technologies and applications. For firms providing these resources to labs, they play a pivotal role in helping lead the charge toward a future where analytical laboratories operate seamlessly and are empowered with cutting-edge technologies.

There are significant opportunities to grow both general instrument applications and niche research systems. But manufacturers must also take proactive measures to alleviate any challenges facing the current laboratory environment through innovation and collaboration.

What are the most significant issues confronting your customers? Are you providing a value proposition that differentiates your products and services from competitors?

Alexander Group conducts customer research, combining deep go-to-market knowledge with research design excellence to capture the key data points and help customers generate actionable insights.
  • Coverage Models: Emerging customer needs and pain points are prompting an adjustment to current coverage models.

Upcoming Life Sciences Events

  • Talent Development: From Super Seller to Performance Multiplier – Rethinking the Sales Manager Role

    Webinar

    June 23, 2026 | 2:00 – 2:45 p.m. ET | Virtual

    Sales managers are operating in an environment of constant change and increasing pressure, yet when top sellers are promoted into management, the job itself is rarely reset. Managers have new expectations to lead the team, navigate change and impact culture, but time is still spent deal by deal, leaving managers with no time for anything else. The result can be lagging team performance and stalled change adoption, driven not by effort gaps but by a lack of role clarity and talent development. Sales managers need a new way forward and the organizational support behind them to succeed.

    What You’ll Learn:

    In a guided interview with Alexander Group consultants and through real client examples and Alexander Group insights, you’ll examine how the sales manager role has expanded. We’ll make the business case for refocusing sales managers as one of the highest leverage investments organizations can make. You’ll see how the spearhead sales manager model reframes the role from super seller to performance multiplier, shifting focus from individual deal support to sustained team development and business impact. You’ll leave with specific actions you can take after the webinar to realign roles, expectations and enablement around sales managers.

    Why Attend?

    You will leave the webinar with:

    • A clear, research-backed point of view on how the sales manager role has changed, and how sales managers must lead differently today.
    • Concrete actions you can take as a leader or enablement partner, including how to clarify sales manager job priorities, put the right support structures in place, and develop playbooks that reinforce consistent execution.
    • Insight-driven guidance you can apply immediately, informed by data, research and real client work to help you better support frontline leadership.
