How to Network for Medical Sales

While I’m on the whole Andrea Nierenberg kick, here’s some more advice:  Andrea’s “Power of Three.” 

Every day take 15 minutes at the beginning or end of the day and write three short goodwill notes: one to a prospect, one to a client and one to a friend. Just say “Hi,” send an article, or say thanks—just make it specific. When you do this, at the end of the week you’ll have made 15 goodwill contacts, and at the end of the year, 750. Think of the “business seeds” you’ll have planted. Some of this could germinate into additional business.

Networking is helpful to everyone, but it’s critical to everyone in medical sales, laboratory sales, clinical diagnostics sales, biotechnology sales, hospital equipment sales, medical device sales, surgical supply sales, imaging sales, pathology sales, DNA products sales, or pharmaceutical sales.  Here are some links to additional tips for you, and a podcast. 

Happy Networking!
