HealthTech Activator - Commercial Planning & Strategy Workshop | 14 Dec
Event description
The HealthTech Activator’s (HTA) next Wellington Commercial Planning and Strategy workshop takes place on Thursday 14 December 2023.
Whether you’re making your first sales or planning for future market entry, the complex nature of healthtech supply chains can make health a tougher sector to plan for and succeed in than most. This workshop focuses on the principles of commercial planning and strategy, to provide key knowledge and frameworks for excelling in the sales process.
This workshop will help you:
- Work through your value chain and understand its role in sales planning
- Build out your value proposition and differentiation
- Understand the mechanics of the sales process and buyer behaviour
- Work through key considerations for developing partnerships and collaborations
- Develop a strategy for navigating complex accounts and building an action plan
The workshop is aimed at early-stage healthtech companies, and is relevant for businesses planning for their future sales or those already in market that would like to learn more. It is recommended for companies that have completed the HTA’s ‘Knowing your Customer and your Market’ workshop, but this is not a requirement.
The workshop is run by Dan Hansen from Apagie, who uses his cross-industry experience to give companies the right processes and perspectives for successfully commercialising their health technology.
