Sales Advice By Market

Selling to AIDS and HIV Medical Practices

As the market recovers, AIDS and HIV medical practices are gradually bouncing back from the Great Recession and are starting to reinvest. Here's how to sell to AIDS and HIV medical practices in the new economy.

Most AIDS and HIV medical practices depend on distributors and vendors. As such, many B2B companies build their business models around sales to AIDS and HIV medical practices.

If selling to AIDS and HIV medical practices is your primary revenue stream, your odds of success increase dramatically when you incorporate a few proven resources and techniques into the selling process.

Gain a Competitive Edge

In business, the payoff for drive and ambition is conversions.

Professional B2B sellers understand the need for flexibility when dealing with AIDS and HIV medical practices and regularly adapt their sales strategy to the marketplace. By diligently focusing their efforts on strategy development and execution, these companies give themselves an edge over the competition.

Reaching Prospective Customers

Prospecting transforms contacts into qualified leads.

Networking can dramatically improve your team's prospecting abilities and conversion ratios. However, it's important to make sure your sales force isn't so focused on conversation that they miss the point of prospecting, i.e. the identification of likely buyers, key decision makers and high value industry contacts. In other words, the type of people you meet is just as important as the number of people you meet when prospecting for AIDS and HIV medical practices.

Lead lists are helpful because they narrow the field for your team. Third-party lists from reputable vendors (e.g. Experian Business Services) arm your sales force with good leads, making it easier for your company to balance the quantity and quality demands that are prerequisites for effective prospecting.

Educate Your Sales Force

In the real world, most AIDS and HIV medical practices aren't interested in middle of the road products. Before they commit to a purchase, they want to know everything there is to know about your product.

In this industry, differentiation can be the deciding factor in conversions. It's critical for your sales team to be knowledgeable and informed. If you're selling a service to AIDS and HIV medical practices, your sales force should understand granular details of the service contract and be prepared to resolve customer concerns during the sales cycle.
