Emphasizing Innovation in Equipment Sales

As someone who’s been in surgical equipment sales for a while, I’ve noticed that customers truly respond to innovation. Recently, I introduced a new tool that improves efficiency in the OR, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I’ve found that developing strong client relationships hinges on not just selling a product, but on providing solutions that genuinely improve their workflow. How do you all approach this in your practice?

Absolutely agree on providing solutions that genuinely improve their workflow — i recently worked with a team on introducing a new imaging device that cut down pre-surgery prep time by 30%. It really changed the game for our clients, but I found that ongoing training was key to ensuring everyone got the most out of it. @ChrisW, have you found training makes a difference with your new tools?
