Penetrating the world of podiatry practices can require complex sales and marketing strategies.

Direct Marketing Strategies
Direct marketing has many advantages for selling to podiatry practices. The benefit of direct marketing is that it is an efficient method reaching qualified prospects with targeted messaging. From a selling perspective, direct marketing establishes a platform for relationships with podiatry practices that can benefit from your products or services.
The tricky part about direct marketing is lead generation. Since finding leads is time-consuming and difficult, we recommend using lead lists supplied by established third-party vendors. Over the years we've found that Experian is one of the best in the business with a reputation for supplying consistently reliable lists of podiatry practices that produce high conversion rates.
Customer Profiles
Emerging sellers in the podiatry practice market are advised to create customer profiles before they invest in a specific sales strategy. A little industry knowledge can go a long way toward equipping your team with the tools required to reach high value podiatry practice leads.
In this industry, it is especially important to develop a customer-focused approach. As a rule, podiatry practices are very skilled at spotting B2B companies that are out of touch with the industry and they tend to hold out for more knowledgeable suppliers, even if it means paying a slightly higher price.
Sales Incentives
Ideally, you want your sales force to be self-motivated to perform at a high level. But to inspire your team even further, consider offering sales incentives to sales reps that exceed podiatry practice sales targets.
Incentives don't have to be pricey -- sometimes just recognizing an employee's worth to the organization is more valuable than an expensive incentive that lacks recognition or prestige.
