CASE STUDY: Global Medical Device Manufacturer

Challenge

Highly technical medical device sales professionals had difficulty gaining access and engaging physicians. Too much time was spent driving to accounts, service calls, paperwork, calling on non-decision-makers (nurses, therapists, billing clerks, technicians, and administrative assistants). Additional challenges included the following:

No structured sales and sales management process in place.
Every rep sold differently—lack of a uniform approach/lack of consistency and accountability.
Product marketing department did not communicate with sales department.
Sales reps too comfortable selling one product line over other product lines.

Solution

PBR put together a medical device sales training and medical device sales management training program focused on physician engagement strategies.
PBR also customized a C-level executive sales training program to equip the sales reps to pro-actively call on hospital administrators, CEOs, CFOs, VPs, Procurement Directors, GPO and IDN key decision-makers, etc.

Medical device manufacturer documented $8,234,000 of sales revenue as a direct result of the 3 month sales training program.
