Today, let's dive into the art of selling within the Medical Device Sales sector, a crucial skill for anyone in this dynamic industry. Drawing from my own journey, where I transformed the lowest performing territory into a top contender, I'll share both the hurdles I encountered and the strategies that led to my success.

Early Challenges and Learning Curves:

• Talking Too Much: Initially, I focused more on showcasing my knowledge than understanding the doctors' specific needs.
• Misidentifying Doctors: A simple yet impactful mistake was calling doctors by the wrong names during virtual meetings.
• Surface-level Questions: Failing to dig deeper and uncover the true pain points of my clients limited my early success.

Strategies for Success:

Become a Go-To Resource

Position yourself as an indispensable asset by simplifying the decision-makers' tasks, demonstrating commitment beyond the sale.

Foster Relationships

Investing time to genuinely connect with people shows you're in it for more than just the sale, fostering trust and loyalty.

Identify and Create Need

Sometimes, the need for your product isn't obvious to your clients. Highlighting this need can open doors to new opportunities.

Effective Prospecting Tips:

• Utilize Hospital Systems: These often list doctors affiliated with them, providing a starting point for connections.
• Leverage Company Databases: Although sometimes outdated, they're a valuable resource for contact information.
• Spend Time Onsite: Regular visits to hospitals can offer insights into the most active doctors and potential leads.
