Territory Manager
• Sales Excellence: Physicians and their staffs had to be persuaded to change the way they performed Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)
procedures for BSCI product sales success. Researched disease states, investigated clinical studies to prove product superiority, added a training component, and
launched. In an average of 3-6 months each, converted accounts; increasing sales 50%, displacing competitors, and generating higher Average Selling Price (ASP) (+
$1M). Multiple best practices for account capture were identified and implemented.
• Competitive Displacement: A competitor; Olympus held 80% capital equipment market share by discounting and bundling and requiring long term contracts. This
obscured pricing and threatened BSCI core business. Developed a multi-pronged strategy; reveal pricing, competitive service agreements, presentations, and training
for sales teams. This forced Olympus to restrict discounting/bundling and protected $1.7M in only 4 product lines. This strategy was rolled out globally with savings
expected to hit $292M.
• Sales Ingenuity: A new product innovation was ready for launch that had the potential to lock out competitors but multiple obstacles for creating a sense of urgency
existed; Cost, Product Committees, and obtaining orders before coding was completed. Chosen to be the first manager to beta test. Pre-selling was required with a
6 month lead time and sales were stellar; 97% of ERCP’s were started with a tome and wire combo with a $573 ASP vs $270 traditional ; delivering $
$760,833 annual increase (16.2% CAGR) while displacing competitors.
• Customer Engagement: Multiple customers were out of compliance leading to lost business. Discovered Endoscopy providers had become price sensitive due to
budget constraints. Met with customers to educate on GPO contracts with Premier, Novation, HPG, and Broadlane. These efforts delivered GPO Compliance,
provided education about bundling and changes in reimbursement, opened doors for new technology evaluation, and maintained good will with accounts.
• Key Opinion Leader (KOL) Development: It was common for Physicians to base decisions to use BSCI devices using KOL. Determined to find 2 - 3 physicians per
discipline with the appropriate reputation, volume, and published data to serve. Achieved 10 KOL the first 4 years. This delivered BSCI access to physicians who
were persuasive promoters of BSCI products and capable of teaching other doctors the surgical techniques to utilize BSCI products.
• Offensive Sales Strategy: After 7 years’ BSCI market dominance, a competitor introduced Instinct Clip competing with BSCI Resolution Clip. Recognized an
opportunity to launch an offensive strategy. Secured multiple samples, tested, identified weaknesses, and built a PowerPoint showcasing the product’s weaknesses.
When this strategy was rolled out to other territories it protected $11.9M. BSCI continues to use this offensive strategy to compete against Instinct Clip.
• Existing Account Expansion: Hospitals object to additional devices (in this case, Spyglass Units) as costly add-ons. Convinced it was a legitimate long term strategy
to avert more invasive procedures, persuaded qualified ERCP physicians to support it by showing dramatic time savings and better outcomes; allowing the bypass of
product committees. Saved ~4 months sales cycle time, exceeded capital sales 50%, and added new revenue through long term service agreements. Exceeded plan,
2. achieved top 10 ranking nationally, and was showcased in multiple hospital websites and trade magazines (click to read articles);

• Sales Innovation through Technology: Identified an opportunity to utilize an iPad during a sales call as it offered unlimited presentation and training resources in real
time. This was the first time a BSCI Sales Rep had used technology in the field. This led management to create an e-sales team and ultimately open this up to the
entire sales force. Was charged with leading training nationally. Today this innovation is now commonplace amongst Top 100 Major Medical Device companies
globally.
• Customer Retention Strategies: Protecting base business in all GPO accounts was top priority. In an effort to keep GPO’s from falling below minimum required
pricing tiers, utilized continuous education programs, promoted new technology, provided branding, reimbursement (coding) assistance, and conducted frequent
business reviews. Achieved competitive lockout despite constant attempts to discount and ultimately ranked in the top 5% nationally for presenting
business reviews.
• Marquee Account Capture: BSCI paid $193M for the Alair BT system and although it was breakthrough technology, with convincing data, to utilize it, physicians
had to change modalities. Adding complexity was BT was not Medicare approved. Created a presentation that persuaded Orlando Regional Health Center to create
an Asthma Management center. This had a trickle-down effect as this became the blueprint to win multiple subsequent Marquee Accounts. This was recognized on
local news.
• Market Penetration / Market Share Capture: In an effort to build momentum and drive BSCI technology, got involved with VA, UCF, Nemours, and Lake Nona City
Commission members before hospital construction began and nurtured relationships with KOL to network influential MD’s. Secured a commitment from VA Medical
Center at Lake Nona; to be the largest VA hospital in the world and received a PO from Nemours Children’s Hospital; one of the largest hospitals in the world for
women and children; capturing 100% of the local pediatric market share in GI. This achievement locked out competitors.
