Kirk, I want to thank you for all you did for my team in Georgia. I know for certain that they became better sales professionals because of your coaching. I know that thru the conversations we had I became a better coach!

District Sales Manager, GlaxoSmithKline

I know that we are all better at what we do because you have been a part of it! Truly a testament to the value you bring to sales professionals and their selling interactions.

I sincerely enjoyed working with you and enjoyed our 1-1’s. You get it. It was a pleasure having you coach my team and coach me to be a better leader.

Channel Manager Retail Channel Team, GSK

It is my privilege to convey the special traits that Kirk Barnes possesses as a leader, coach, and partner. In the time that Kirk and I worked together, he created extremely positive impact with his leadership and coaching, most notably by his supportive and positive approach. As a business partner, I found I could rely most on Kirk’s trustworthiness and his commitment to strengthening our alliance towards our common goals.

Regional Director, UCB Pharmaceuticals

I was truly impressed with your presentation. Having been trained in sales in the pharmaceutical industry many years ago and with many years of practice thereafter, I can say everything you conveyed was gold and I wish more Canadian companies and in fact my own team could hear what you had to say. Sadly, the sales skills are typically lacking in many Canadian organisations – and has you pointed out follow up is not one of our strengths. So kudos for the great work.

By partnering with TransPharMed, OncoLens was able to grow an additional $1MM in revenue over the course of 16 months. In addition, TransPharMed refined our messaging strategy for key decision making personas across community based hospitals, academic health systems, integrated delivery networks (IDNs) and biopharmaceutical customers. Critical to the long term business of OncoLens, TransPharMed secured the first NCI Designated Cancer Center, The James Cancer Center at Ohio State University as a customer. This win was significant because it validated a new value proposition and business model that will be a template for future similar customer. By developing relationships with decision makers in a short amount of time, TransPharMed also expanded the OncoLens business by 10 fold within one of the largest IDNs in the country, Ascension Health. The work that TransPharMed did for OncoLens has helped to build a selling foundation for our success in the future.

On behalf of the entire MCHT team and cohort, thank you so much for your time to share your knowledge and educate the founders on your successful selling strategies within healthcare. To say that the sales session was awesome would be an understatement. Since the end of the session we’ve received some amazing feedback from the founders about how valuable your session was to them. In terms of future opportunities, I’d say it’s safe to say that YOU are our guy when it comes to sales and we would welcome you back to do a repeat performance for future programs!

Startup Program Manager | MassChallenge HealthTech & FinTech

As the founder and CEO of MedTrans Go, a healthcare technology startup company, I first worked with Kirk Barnes at the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC) in Atlanta. Six months prior, Kirk had been hired to start the healthcare division of the ATDC and within a short period of time, he helped transform it to one of the premier healthcare technology incubators in the country. After completing his work at the ATDC, we started working with Kirk at TransPharMed. He helped our executive team form sales strategies to help us scale our services nationwide. Because of his vast network throughout the country, he made connections that would have taken us years to achieve. Because of Kirk Barnes and TransPharMed, we were able to secure pilot program with a major healthcare system looking for a technology solution to help them solve the cancellation problems that cost them millions of dollars a year. Kirk Barnes’s unique multifaceted experience allows him and TransPharMed to offer a unique service to startup and established healthcare companies looking to scale locally or nationally.
