On this episode, we discuss the problem where the customer ends up selling the rep on why they shouldn't be doing business together. Your customers don't want to change what they are doing, so they will be trying to throw you off so they don't have to change what they are doing. Your job is to listen to the customers' objections but you can't buy "Hook line and sinker" what they tell you. Just because they have a current vendor or contract in place doesn't necessarily mean they can't do business...

On this episode, I discuss the need to identify the specific area of medical sales you want to be in. Figure out what is most interesting to you and make yourself as much of an expert in that area as you can. You wouldn't go apply to Google, Amazon Web Services or Walmart Supply Chain if you didn't know anything about SEO, coding or Logistics. In the same way, you need to have some level of relevant knowledge and experience to stand out in a crowded field. We hope you enjoy this episode! Learn H...

It's not simply enough to "be sold" on your product, you also have to be able to deliver your product in a sales pitch confidently and also handle the objections to follow. To be the best you have to beat the best. In sales, you have to train your responses for the most difficult objections you could get from a customer. You never want to practice only layups. The harder you work in your down-time, the more confiden...

I think this is analogous to the situation many young reps find themselves in where they are pursuing perfection at the cost of productivity. First, perfection is an illusion and shouldn't be pursued directly. Second, the way to truly improve your skills in sales is to test them in the real world. We hope you enjoy this episode!

On this episode, we discuss the questions reps need to be asking to close the deals they aren't closing. And these questions typically have nothing to do with the product itself.

On this episode, we discuss the one-and-done sales reps. These are reps that ask one question, and one question only to the customer, then move into their pitch. The strong sales reps will ask much more than one question to the customer before they start pitching their product. You need to know as much as you can about the customer and why they use what they use prior to bringing up your product. We hope you enjoy this episode!
