Sales management

I do not want to merely succeed at this position…I do not want to just get by. I am driven to exceed every expectation: Mine, yours, Hologic’s and everyone else who places their trust in me: Everyday will be an execution of that drive. In the first month, my primary focus will be to start networking, profiling, and booking appointments with surgeons and physicians.

I will also introduce myself to all surgeons and hospitals that have previously used Myosure, Novasure, and Adiana: begin contacting the ‘low hanging fruit’ who are not using Hologic products. Every day, I will wake up and take ownership of my day by leaving the house no later than 6am and return, no matter how late, when all goals, objectives have been accomplished! * Attend and complete Hologic training/orientation on sales strategy, processes, and products (if applicable) a comparative analysis of the united kingdom and the united states health care systems.

* Introduce myself up to 7 potential customers within territory every day. * Create Surgeon Profiles for target surgeons, and continue to profile territory. * Gain a comprehensive knowledge of the Novasure, Myosure, and Adiana products/ procedures. Also, master how to use the equipment and demonstrate effectively (and Sell!) to surgeons.

* Build High Gain Questions and value statements for the products, and begin role playing different 'unplanned run-ins” that may come up with each current and potential surgeon. * Pass out 20 Business Cards a day to key players at hospital (materials management, sterile processing, OR coordinators, key scrub techs, etc.) and write down something new that I didn't already know to add to my surgeon/physician profiles. *

Map out hospitals in territories for a productive call pattern. * Learn corporate systems/procedures for paperwork, reports, e-mail, and rep. access website of Hologic websites. * Start and complete appropriate testing and certifications (Reptrax, Vendor Clear, etc.). *

Complete and modify surgeon target list by profiling, targeting, and interviewing key people. * Identify major competitors in the territory and the key products being used to identify the “Gains” and “Give-ups” to sell against. * Meet with sales Managers, senior Reps to update them on my progress, ask questions, and prioritize target list and corporate involvement. * Identify possible mentor who can share knowledge to shorten the learning curve on the products, territory, and business. *

Ride along with senior sales representatives to learn their approach and selling style. * Purchase relevant publications and read at least two journal articles a day in order to stay current. * Schedule my first surgery as a result of my own efforts. * Study necessary anatomy at least one hour, 6 days a week. * Re-Evaluate my 1st 30 days in the territory and adjust forward goals, objectives and action plan to insure goal attainment and production in the coming months.

Objective
My second month I will build upon my first month... I will continue to provide support the team, schedule cases, and continue to build more relationships by scheduling sales calls and cases.
