Medical device sales – translating clinical value into economic value

Posted by Janet Spirer on January 20, 2012

0 comments | 574 reads

At the 2011 Medical Innovation Summit much time was spent discussing how economic conditions and their impact on policy is shifting control in healthcare from providers to payers. These policy shifts are manifesting themselves in many forms such as: changes in reimbursements, a rise in healthcare IT, and a push to decrease healthcare costs.

To stay competitive, medical device companies – and their sales forces – must keep these changes in mind as they look to 2012. Medtronic’s Chairman and CEO, Omar Ishrak shared that Medtronic plans to increase its focus on providing data that illustrates the economic value of its products to medical facility administrators. “We can through the use of data be a bridge between the administrator and the physician so that clinical value can be translated into economic value,” Ishrak said.

The first question is whether Ishrak’s comments would resonate with most VP of Sales in the medical sales market? We think that one is fairly easy – the answer is yes. The second question is do these changes impact sales training – again the answer is yes. Let’s look at the “why” behind these questions.

Designing Positive Experiences in a Doctor’s Office – One Bagel at a Time

Posted by Michael Plishka on January 12, 2012

It was a typical physical. The basic tests, some questions, some ‘turn your head and cough’-ing, a blood draw and the removal of a dime-sized, spherical cyst from my right shoulder.

As usual, the prep for the appointment included a fast from midnight. This isn’t usually a big deal, except that I had the latest possible appointment that morning.

Everything went well. Even the cyst removal. It wasn’t particularly painful, but the area was effectively numbed up prior to the mini-surgery. That was, no doubt, a good thing, as the cyst went deeper into the skin than one would think, based upon its size. The doctor’s skillful excision left a clean, but surprisingly large, ‘glass marble sized’ crater on my shoulder.

After I was bandaged, I turned my head and started to get up. I was instantly greeted by a flurry of starry, firefly like speckles that twinkled for a few moments then faded.

“Whoa…stars,” I said. It had caught me by surprise.

The doctor steadied me and I stepped down off the table. “I’ll have my nurse give you something to help that,” he said,

As I was leaving the office, she handed me my prescription. A coupon for a free bagel at the bakery next door.

I smiled, left, and visited the doctor’s neighbor.

“This is the coolest idea, EVER!” I thought to myself as I munched on a toasted bagel, slathered with honey-walnut cheese.

My shoulder wound was beginning to get sore, but it didn’t matter. The crunchy, creamy-ness filled the 12 hour fasting void in my stomach, perfectly.

Medical sales – impact of hospital mergers and acquisitions on sales strategy

Posted by Janet Spirer on January 6, 2012

0 comments | 249 reads

In 2010, hospital mergers and acquisitions were valued at $3.8 billion, 2011 followed pace – and it looks like there will be even more M&A activity in 2012 as health care reforms kick in, certainty in the health care landscape increases, the economy picks up, and investors seek bargains.

Even before the health care reforms passed, there were good reasons to consolidate. With consolidation there is an opportunity to:

Reduce duplicated functions to achieve cost savings
Capture larger market shares
Improve negotiating positions with vendors and insurance companies
Obtain better bond ratings if one of the hospitals has a strong balance sheet

As the CEO of the University of Louisville Hospital Jim Taylor noted: “We couldn’t grow and our role was going to decline as we face revenue pressures from declining government reimbursement.”

Delta Dental of Oklahoma Cuts Account Processing In Half With Sage SalesLogix CRM

Not-for-profit dental benefits provider replaces manual processes with CRM efficiencies

Scottsdale, AZ (Dec. 14, 2011)—Sage North America today announced that Delta Dental of Oklahoma, a not-for-profit provider of dental benefits to individuals, small businesses and Fortune 500 corporations, uses Sage SalesLogix CRM to automate account management and auditing. Delta Dental has cut its underwriting process time in half using Sage SalesLogix, while decreasing auditing time 60 percent.

“We are impressed with the large amount of time Sage SalesLogix saves us monthly during account renewals,” said Kelly Graham, director of client relations and underwriting for Delta Dental of Oklahoma. “Time and manpower are critical assets for our organization and Sage SalesLogix helps us find better ways to use both.”

From Manual To Well-Managed

Delta Dental needed a better way to manage account reviews, renewals and rate adjustments. Its monthly processes involved manually pulling account data from several software applications, preparing spreadsheets for review and manually entering updates in multiple locations. This required too many staff members, and accounts needed 100 percent auditing because of the information’s legally binding nature and potential for data entry error. Any changes made to auditing spreadsheets were noted in an Excel® document which made reporting difficult. Delta Dental’s process for clients with multiple locations, plans or operations was even more intensive.

Delta Dental now pushes data automatically into a customized Sage SalesLogix account renewal tool allowing 40 of its employees to view data, make adjustments and communicate with clients upon approval. The company seeks to do business in as many paperless ways as possible using Sage SalesLogix for account history storage, contact management, scheduling, proposal generation and cross-departmental communications.

Sage SalesLogix—available for on-premises, Cloud and mobile deployments—provides businesses a complete view of customer interactions across sales, marketing, customer service and support functions so teams can collaborate and respond promptly and knowledgeably to customer inquiries and sales opportunities. Powerful process automation and a highly customizable platform help businesses achieve stronger sales results. For more information call 800-643-6400 or visit www.sagesaleslogix.com.

About Delta Dental
Headquartered in Oklahoma City, Delta Dental of Oklahoma is the oldest, largest and leading provider of dental benefits in the state. A not-for-profit corporation, Delta Dental services more than 700,000 eligible members and nearly 3,000 clients and customers - from individuals and small businesses to Fortune 500 corporations located throughout Oklahoma and nationwide. Through its charitable foundation, Delta Dental of Oklahoma has contributed nearly $3.5 million to help provide greater access to oral healthcare and education to all citizens of Oklahoma.

Who makes a good customer reference?

Posted by David Sroka on October 31, 2011

3 comments | 1150 reads

If you're building a customer reference program, or taking a good hard look at how your current program works, this is the right question to ask. All customers are not equally good candidates for your program.

Before answering this question a gap analysis should be conducted to make sure that you know a) the segments that need coverage today, and b) those that are up-and-coming. The current demand is most easily identified by getting a sales pipeline report from your CRM system. You can slice and dice that information by, for instance, industry, product/solution, and geography; as well as criteria combinations (e.g., product A and healthcare). Once your target segments are identified, then it’s time to think about your ideal customer reference profile, which should include:

* Tenure - A customer reference should have some experience with your products/solution to share with prospective customers. Results, especially measurable, are the bottom line. A customer that can say how your solution is changing their business is more compelling than the one that says the really like a certain feature, or their account manager.

* Level - Generally you want to provide references of equivalent level, or seniority, to the contacts at the prospective customer organization. That might include c-level, director-level, manager-level and even front line people who are influencers. Having a good mix of reference resources allows for peer matching and higher relevancy.

Healthcare costs set to skyrocket because of call centers, unless . . .

Posted by Jodie Monger on October 20, 2011

0 comments | 549 reads

How did we get to the point where the Federal Government plans a hostile takeover of one-sixth of the American economy? Consumers abused their benefits and the providers pushed back to control costs and now insurance providers have secured their very own circle in Hell alongside stock brokers, bankers, ambulance-chasers and telemarketing lawyers. The clues of what was coming were there and we all should have seen it coming.

According to a study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation in 2006, only 18% of Americans are satisfied with the total cost of healthcare and only 44% of Americans are satisfied with the quality of healthcare in America. Another study conducted by Gallup between 2006 and 2008 found that “the United States maintains the third-highest GDP per capita ($48,000) of all OECD (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries. However, the relative wealth of the U.S. economy does not necessarily translate into confidence in national healthcare systems. ”
