Coach & Connect ® Signature Program
According to the June 2020 report by Global Market Insights, the digital health market is the fastest growing segment of healthcare, which will grow by 28.5% to reach $639BB by 2026. The growth in digital health is faster than the number of qualified, well trained and connected sales professionals.
Sales continues to be one of the weakest skill set for digital health startups.
TransPharMed uses coaching and connections to help startups learn how to cut the 18-24 month sales cycle in half, while also helping health systems, payers and industry partners adopt vetted technologies from companies with well-prepared sales professionals. TransPharMed is the best partner to help you transform a slow, undefined sales process to accelerated commercial success with our coaching and connections.
Mistakes Start-ups Make:
The majority of start-ups do not have a repeatable and scalable sales strategy, nor a sales model that properly aligns value proposition with potential customers. Additionally, most founders and CEOs have never been a sales person, been through any formal sales training, hired a sales person, trained a sales person, managed a sales person, or even fired a sales person.
Until a proper sales model and training are put into place, companies will continue to suffer significant opportunity costs and real costs.
Costs of No Formal Sales Strategy and Training:
- Lost valuable time. Increased sales cycle.
- Missed revenue. Enough said!
- Lost customer traction. If customers aren’t using your product/service, they will go to your competitors
- Lost valuation. If you are looking to raise a round, you will have to accept more unfavorable terms without sales traction and a strategic sales pathway forward.
- Bad sales hires. Hiring the wrong sales person will cost you money, time, goodwill, and possibly equity in your company.
- Brand erosion. Not being fully prepared when getting in front of a viable customer will damage your reputation regardless of the value of your product.
- Lost valuable time. Increased sales cycle.
