PCS will be providing professional sales and marketing management placing a marketing manager and two sales representative’s onsite who will have responsibility for realizing projected sales growth, not only in Columbia, but through a statewide initiative. The PCS sales and marketing program includes a performance guarantee based upon PCS meeting projected sales targets.

Although PHA has had a successful outreach program for several years, a detailed assessment of the outreach marketplace, conducted by PCS, showed that there were greater opportunities for expansion by entering into new market segments and a wider geographic area. To meet this challenge, PHA recognized the need for a more robust sales and marketing effort and decided to partner with PCS for that expertise.

PCS sales and marketing managers have a proven track record in developing highly successful and profitable hospital-based laboratory outreach programs. Professional sales and marketing is a key success factor and PCS finds that hospital-based program that secure this talent achieve contribution margins in excess of 20%.

The first step for a hospital in understanding the potential benefit of a laboratory outreach program is a detailed market opportunity assessment to quantify revenue potential, understand the impact of competitors and managed care, and to identify a sales strategy for program success.
