Why Work with Me?
The real reason you work with someone like me
Objective Advice & Insight
The reason you're even considering working with me is because you've already made the decision that you need to build a more robust business development system.You know you can't keep throwing money at ads, SEO, or "digital marketing" that bring you under qualified prospective clients. You know you need a process for attracting, acquiring, engaging, and retaining those potential clients by positioning your product's UVP in the minds of your targeted healthcare stakeholder. You want all of your marketing efforts to end up moving the needle for your organization.And the best way to do that is by working with someone who won't hold back when providing feedback and recommendations.
Focused Knowledge
I don't work with barbers, plumbers, or car dealerships. I also don't work with accountants, lawyers, or restaurants. I work with healthcare organizations. If you're looking for someone to help craft a business development or marketing strategy for your healthcare technology or SaaS company and their portfolio includes everything from dog-walkers to real estate agents, you need to find someone else.Healthcare is unique, both in the regulatory restrictions, but also in the nuances and value assessments of the various stakeholders. You need someone that focuses only on healthcare positioning strategy.
Knowledge Transfer
Perhaps you've done some work in the healthcare space. Or maybe, you've talked to a few healthcare professionals, clinicians, and/or managers or executives. You've gleaned some insights from these conversations or projects, but haven't walked away with any applicable insights or knowledge that can be used in your healthcare business.That's where I come in. I bring over a decade of experience working on high-level projects across all four of the various healthcare stakeholders (payer, provider, policy-maker, and patient). I work with your team to ensure that those insights are not only communicated to them, but also employed and embedded in your organization's workflows, processes, and positioning strategy.
Why is this important?
Let's talk about marketing and selling a tool, software, platform or app in healthcare
The Importance of Clarity
Technology, software, apps, and platforms hold the future of healthcare service delivery, clinical outcome management, and revenue diversification and scalability for provider organizations, healthcare payers, and the recipients of healthcare services (patients) alike. It also holds the keys for effective and efficient oversight and management for regulatory agencies and policy-makers.And it's getting attention. In fact, most healthcare professionals surveyed report recently taking courses related to technology and tools such as Remote Therapeutic Monitoring.
In addition, over three quarters of healthcare provider organizations surveyed either currently offer, or have plans to implement, virtual service delivery, including remote therapeutic monitoring, telehealth, or other service delivery.
And, aside from the traditional "one-on-one" or synchronous telehealth services and encounters, providers, payers, and patients all seek to explore other methods of delivering or receiving healthcare services virtually; to include asynchronous services and remote patient monitoring.
Given that knowledge, it's no surprise that the healthcare technology market has experienced an influx in new startups and potential service providers aiming to grab a piece of this rapidly expanding market.To stand out from the sea of healthcare technology, app, or SaaS companies flooding into the space, you need to craft a tailored positioning message aimed at the ideal targeted stakeholder for your device, technology, or software.That's where the Market Penetration Roadmap comes in...
