Choose the right perspective
Match the person to your device category and stage, since a startup launching a new therapy and a large company selling an established portfolio need different sales models. Also consider whether you sell capital equipment, implants or disposables, because buying processes and sales cycles differ.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you build a sales team for a new medical device launch, and when do you hire reps versus distributors?
- 02How do you win hospital value analysis committee approval for a new device?
