Medical Sales Summit 2011 Dallas

Dear Medical Sales Professional,
When I was a medical sales rep and a sales manager, I wished for top-notch, medical sales-focused training. But all I found was either sales training that wasn’t specifically for medical, or medical and healthcare conferences that didn’t spend a lot of time on sales. Or I was stuck with the product-based training typically offered by medical companies—instead of the sales and management skill-building I needed.
Even after I became a medical sales recruiter, I couldn’t stop thinking about how fantastic it would be to create that kind of intensive, skill-building, saw-sharpening medical-sales-specific training sales reps and managers really need to stay competitive.
And then I asked for your input: What would you like to see in a medical sales-specific conference? The feedback has been amazing, and I’ve used it to put together something that I know for sure is going to make you more successful in your sales or management role—because you told me it would. The result is a one-of-a-kind, highly targeted, cutting edge, one-day conference to make you better than you’ve ever been.

The Medical Sales Summit is the kind of event I wished for when I was a laboratory sales rep and sales manager

Not just a sales-focused event, not just a healthcare industry event, but a true medical sales-driven experience.

  • Medical Sales-Specific TRAINING to Become an Efficient and Effective Hunter
  • Medical Sales MANAGEMENT SKILL-BUILDING to Drive Sales Volume
  • Medical Sales Focused NETWORKING to Make the Connections that Matter

Hi, I’m Peggy McKee, The Medical Sales Recruiter, and host of the Medical Sales Summit 2011.
Let me show you what I’ve got lined up for you…
The Summit is set up with 3 Tracks to suit whatever your role is:

  • Sales Management Track
  • Medical Sales Rep Track
  • Aspiring Medical Sales Rep Track

Each track will have 4 breakout sessions with speakers I have personally selected and am thrilled to introduce to you.

For Sales Managers:

Sales Analytics to Drive your Volume Sky-High

  • Gain greater insight into your market
  • Determine which products you should lead with
  • Narrow down your customer approach to the most specifically successful strategies

Hugh Watson, Regional Sales Manager from Genova Diagnostics, has consistently delivered tremendous revenue growth through his use of sales analytics, and he’ll show you how you can apply them to your sales team today.

Sales Meetings that Work
  • Run a more effective sales meeting
  • Make sure critical things happen with Chuck’s Checklist
  • Achieve your sales goals

Chuck Wayland, Senior Director Molecular Diagnostics for Qiagen, has more than 11 years of stellar medical sales management experience you can draw from in this session.

Facing the Challenge of the Sales Performance Paradox: Rewiring Strategies for Achieving Maximum Sales Performance Impact in Today’s Rapidly Changing, Highly Complex, and Competitive Medical Device Market

(Two 50-minute sessions)

Learn innovative ways to stimulate salesperson growth and commitment for their work and direct it toward individual and organization success through:

  • Re-imagining the role of the sales manager
  • Re-engineering a high-impact approach to coaching individual sales performance
  • Re-building management skills that contribute to sales rep growth and create real value in the sales coaching relationship

Dan Ellis, Executive Director of GrowthSource, Inc., has 30 years of sales and management experience in the medical sales industry. At GrowthSource, he and his team assist “organizations in building strategies and initiatives that re-focus and re-direct culture and behaviors to enable successful execution of the business strategy.  The ultimate goal is to forge high-performance teams prepared to win and retain high-value customers consistently.”

As a manager, you often get left out of the training and the skill-building that is provided for your sales reps. Sharpening the saw is just as critical for you, but you are responsible for yourself. These speakers are your opportunity to sharpen your skills, and meet others within medical who are at your level. The Medical Sales Summit is your opportunity.

For Sales Reps:

Learn Six Sigma Applied to Your Medical Sales Job
  • Learn what Six Sigma means
  • Find out how to use it to better position your products or service
  • Get strategies to use Six Sigma and Lean in your accounts

Jo Ann HegartyJo Ann Hegarty, formerly with Ortho Diagnostics, now a Sales and Marketing consultant, has spent years traveling and teaching sales organizations how they can use Six Sigma principles in the sales role that produce astounding results and shoot reps to the top of the rankings.

 

Sales Levers for Success
  • Learn what sales levers are and how to focus on them for greater sales success
  • Target areas of the sales process where you can make the most positive change
  • Manage your resources and time for maximum effectiveness

Mike KunkleMike Kunkle isn’t in medical. He’s the Sales Effectiveness Director from Insphere Insurance Solutions. He combines strategy and statistics with tremendous results—specifically using Sales Levers to achieve even greater success. Mike usually teaches only management level, but I’ve talked him into speaking to reps directly so that you can learn how to use this and differentiate yourself from the rest of the crowd.

Sales Training Panel Discussion – Best Practices in Medical Sales
  • Moderated by Peggy McKee, The Medical Sales Recruiter
  • Chris Gordon, a pathology/clinical lab/equipment rep from Ventana Medical Systems

  • Kristin Davis, a biotech rep from Genzyme

For Aspiring Medical Sales Reps:

Resume Tips for Medical Sales Reps
  • Learn how to tailor your resume for medical sales
  • Find out what matters most to medical sales managers
  • Get insider medical sales tips for your resume

Patti MoorePatti Moore, is CEO of Diversitree, a company focused on building diversity within medical. She sees resumes every day and has many years in medical as a Division Manager at Ethicon, a huge division of Ortho Clinical, so she brings an interesting insider point of view that you can’t find with a regular resume writer. She’s an outstanding person to teach you about what you need for your medical sales resume.

Your Internet Job Search
  • Learn internet secrets to use in your job search
  • Understand how to “fish” for opportunities in your job search using the internet
  • Find the hidden medical sales job market by finding hiring managers

Jeff LipschultzJeff Lipschultz is a Software/Internet Recruiter and founding partner of A-List Solutions, a premier IT recruiting firm in Dallas/Fort Worth. I’ve heard him speak at other conferences and been so impressed with his knowledge of how you can use the internet to search for your job that I practically begged him to come speak to you. His background in software and as a recruiter give him even more of a value-added perspective that I know will benefit you tremendously.

Interview for Offers in Medical Sales
  • Learn how to SUPER prepare for your next interview
  • Use questioning to set up your interview for success
  • Close the interview for the offer (she will teach you how)

Paula RutledgePaula Rutledge is a major medical recruiter with over 25 years of experience and is the President of Legacy MedSearch, a boutique, retained recruitment firm working exclusively in medical device, medical and surgical robotics, imaging and navigation. She is a tremendous interview resource for medical sales candidates.

  • Learn about the business straight from “boots on the ground” sales reps.
  • Compare and contrast different areas of medical sales
  • See which area of medical sales is a best fit for you
  • Hear the vernacular and listen in on the strategy (almost like a job shadow)

Moderated by Peggy McKee, The Medical Sales Recruiter and featuring Chris Gordon, a pathology/clinical lab/equipment rep from Ventana; Crystal Gornto, a vascular surgical rep from Arstasis; and Kristin Davis, a biotech rep from Genzyme

And (drumroll, please…) I am beyond thrilled to the speaker who will kick off the very first annual Medical Sales Summit:
Keynote Speaker Harvey Mackay

Harvey McKayDo I really need to introduce Harvey Mackay???

Just in case you’re the last person in America who’s not aware of this amazing guy, Harvey Mackay is the founder of a $100 million dollar corporation, a nationally-syndicated newspaper columnist, a internationally-renowned speaker, sales guru, networking master, and author whose books are among the top 15 inspirational books of all time (according to the New York Times). He’s someone you’re going to want to listen to.
Here are a few of his books:

 

swim with sharksSwim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive: Outsell, Outmanage, Outmotivate, and Outnegotiate Your Competition
(New York Times Best Seller)

 

 

 

Foot in the DoorUse Your Head to Get Your Foot in the Door: Job Search Secrets No One Else Will Tell You
(also a New York Times Best Seller)

 

 

 

And the Harvey Mackay book YOU RECEIVE FOR ATTENDING THE MEDICAL SALES SUMMIT:

Mackay MBAThe Mackay MBA of Selling in the Real World
This book won’t even be released until November 1st.

And you get it as a GIFT when you attend the Medical Sales Summit.
The book is the “cherry on top” of what you’re going to get at this Summit.
You also get take-home goodies like:

  • Conference manual so you won’t forget a thing
  • List of recruiters and trainers you can access as you need them
  • Recordings of the breakout sessions we’ll send to you after the conference

 

 

The Medical Sales Summit will be an Extraordinary Networking Opportunity.

One of the reasons I climbed so far so fast in the medical sales field is that I am really good at networking. That’s just the flat, honest truth. I practiced it as a sales rep, I preached it to my sales teams, and I still talk about it on my blog and with my own candidates.
I want you to get to know each other and benefit from those relationships--so, I will personally be introducing you to each other. We’ll have an hour and a half cocktail reception, and I’m even setting up the lunch tables in a way that facilitates conversations. And I might have a surprise or two up my sleeve…
And you’ll be glad to hear that this valuable investment in your career is at a very reasonable price…

How much is the registration fee for the Medical Sales Summit?

Medical Sales Managers: $499
Medical Sales Representatives: $399
Medical Sales Group Meeting (for the actively transitioning): $399

That’s already a great deal for the kind of training you’re going to get, but…
If you register BEFORE SEPTEMBER 25th,
you’ll receive $100 OFF the price of admission.

So, if you register before September 25th,
Sales Managers pay only $399
Sales Reps (and aspiring sales reps) pay only $299.

Now it’s not just a great deal—it’s an unbelievable bargain for the kind of expertise, training, skill-building, and networking you’ll get at this Summit.

Are you still waiting?
You need to be telling your manager about this right now—and getting him to pay for it.
Companies pay for training all the time. Get your manager to pay for this one. This is amazing training that will absolutely help you be better at your job. This is the day to drive your sales, and become better than you’ve ever been before. It’s a win-win for everyone.
Sales Managers: Here’s something you might not have thought about…how easy would it be to plan your quarterly meeting around this Summit?
Do you need to train the troops? It’s all right here… It will be the easiest meeting you’ve ever put together—because I’m doing it!

There’s even a Group Discount: 4 for the price of 3!

So if you were to sign your team up for the summit before September 25th, you could get top-quality sales training for 4 members of your team for less than $900. You can’t beat that.

If you do have to pay for the training yourself, think about it this way: it’s the equivalent of buying a suit jacket. You’d pay $299 for a suit jacket without even thinking very hard about it, because you’re concerned with putting your best foot forward as a medical sales professional. Your training is worth at least that much. What comes out of your mouth is at least as important as what you put on your back, right? Maybe a little more….
Think about this. That $299 works out to about $60 per session.
Is it worth $60 to you to hear how you can apply Lean Six Sigma principles to your sales role so that you become the #1 rep in your company? It would be to me.
Is it worth $60 to you to sit in on a panel discussion of medical sales professionals from several different backgrounds talk about best practices in their field, teaching you a new trick or two for your own?
Sales Managers: Is it worth the $80 to hear Dan Ellis tell you how to “rewire” your sales force for success? Or to find out how using Sales Analytics will help drive the volume of your whole team? How great is that going to look at your end-of-the-year meeting?


Do not let this slip by you.

I know how busy you are. If you leave this page, you’ll get caught up in your hectic schedule, miss the registration deadline, and miss out on the best medical sales training around.
You saw the list of speakers. You know how much they’ll be able to teach you, and I’m sure you’ve already started picturing how you can crush the end of the year and attack 2012 with this kind of a boost.
If you’re in management, you know how rare an opportunity this is to grab some much-needed skill-building for yourself.
And I believe you’ve also realized the caliber of sales professional this event will attract.
Don’t take the chance. Don’t miss out.
