The deep customer insight at play here is – the word “sales” is not liked by everyone in healthcare, yet everyone in healthcare is eager to sell – & that’s not a bad thing! Having acquired the toughest of qualifications, intellectual stimulation, deeper engagement & enhancement of work opportunities only motivates healthcare & allied professionals. However, very little infrastructure is available to leverage this potential.
Potential ?🤔
Business development happens based on personal relationships and merit (of course), however, there are a plethora of capacities which get created in healthcare, but never find a marketplace to get discovered.
These include those related to Health tech, R&D, Healthcare real estate/infrastructure, surplus inventories of products & services, healthcare education, and NGOs or CSR wings.
Healthcare in India is ripe for tech adoption, with several participants of the healthcare & allied ecosystem now finally accepting the digital domain as a channel that is worth the attention & time of decision-makers.
Not to forget, that as time evolves and the next generation takes over, many discovery functions will become less people-dependent and more technology / decentralized networks-dependent where reputation is the currency and visibility is the key driver of profitability.
In such an evolving dynamic, it is criminal to ignore initiatives /efforts /business models that, even if at a primary stage, are more open.
Healium is a new-age 360° Business Development & procurement mechanism for Healthcare & Allied Professionals & Businesses. We are an online platform that facilitates the assessment, automation and optimization of the sales processes.
Our definition of B2B is inclusive of all non-patient transactions across segments & sub-segments of healthcare.
Some examples include :
1. A doctor-to-doctor interaction medical equipment manufacturer-to-hospital interaction
2 . Healthcare service provider-to-hospital interaction
3. A pharma company driving its prescriptions through doctor relationships also falls under B2B interactions
4. A Linen manufacturer ( who probably has nothing to do with Healthcare) – to – Laboratory interaction (for uniforms)
Even an individual that holds some real estate inventory – can sell their land to someone who wants to open their clinic!
If you serve professionals & practitioners OR have customers other than the patients, you fit our definition of healthcare too.
