Money-making Advice for Medical Sales Representatives
|
Always book every appointment available to you. You should also ensure that you attend every appointment that you have made, and once you are in an appointment cycle, never drop out of it. Medical sales reps often rush from one appointment to another with no routine. This can lead to unorganised information and gives the impression that you are hurrying the pitch. Booking calls in advance takes seconds and eventually saves time and allows you to be more focus, organised and composed towards each individual client. Do this all the time and you'll sell more and more. Meetings are a great setting for arranging call-backs. Try and arrange a call-back with every attendee. This can be encouraged if you have footed the bill for lunch, as the potential client will feel it is courteous to honour your request. A good way to prompt attendees is by taking a register and adding a column with 'a time when I can call'. This makes the call-back seem more official. Do this regularly and you will be generating extra sequential calls, and in medical sales, it's sequential calling that sells. Operate during the typical lunch hour. Many medical sales reps fail to recognise that their clients need a lunch break. During this lunch break they will often be more relaxed and approachable. The sales representative who makes a call during this time, instead of taking a break themselves, can pick up a high number of relaxed, quality calls. Persist until you are seen. You need to maintain a level of contact with all of your surgeries, all of the time. There will always be surgeries that are reluctant to see medical sales reps. However; this can quickly change with the turnover of staff. If you aren't in contact with a surgery, you won't be aware of these changes and may miss out to a rival medical sales rep. Swoop in on rival sales rep's appointments. This is particularly easy if the rival rep is late. This is quite common, as many reps count their appointments as 'guaranteed' calls so have a more relaxed approach and may turn up late because they've been hunting for extra calls. These techniques, when applied along with a hard-working attitude, can create high results. More often than not, it is the people who follow these rules in a disciplined manner, instead of following short cuts that succeed. Good luck!
