Things you do

  • Translate complex robotic specs into plain business benefits for clients.
  • Build relationships with surgeons, hospital execs, and procurement teams.
  • Walk clients through a custom ROI proposal showing cost and efficiency gains.
  • Travel to hospitals and clinics to meet prospects and close deals.
Decisions you’ll make
  • Is this client ready to buy, or do they need more education first?
  • Should I push for the close now, or risk losing the deal by rushing?
  • Do I bring in a sales engineer, or can I handle this technical question myself?
  • Is the client's hesitation about price, or do they not actually believe the robot will work for them?
  • Should I customize this proposal around their specific workflow, or lead with our standard package?
