The Key to More SALES

Product Sourcing Strategy is the key to more SALES. It is as simple as finding a product that people want and selling the product to them. Instead of trying to sell a product to the customer that he or she does not want, ask them which product are they having difficulties sourcing. Then, based on the response, find that product and offer it at a price to the customer. This is how simple business is and it is as easy as it gets. STOP trying to sell products to customers that they do not want. Ask the customer: "DO YOU HAVE ISSUES SOURCING A PRODUCT?" This helps the salesperson to analyse the buying habits of the customer by determining what he/she needs.


This method, which I call Product Sourcing Strategy, is now being used by artificial intelligence to study customer behavior on e-commerce websites. This helps websites to personalize product listings to cater specifically to the user. Technology is changing the world of SALES to facilitate transactions on e-commerce websites using personalization. It is why PERSONALIZE YOUR MEDICAL LABORATORY focuses on tailoring Medical Laboratories to meet the needs of each individual based on their differences in purchasing habits.

The Medical Laboratory Made Easy

Business is very easy. It is as simple as finding a product that the customer wants and selling that product to the customer. This is the easiest method to build a business, which I call PRODUCT SOURCING STRATEGY. The secret question to ask customers is "DO YOU HAVE ISSUES SOURCING A PRODUCT?" This "PRODUCT" is dependent on which industry the customer regularly sources products from.


Similarly, in the Laboratory Medicine industry, building a Medical Laboratory is easy. It is as simple as finding a Medical Laboratory Test that Doctors and Patients want and selling that Medical Laboratory Test to the Doctor or Patient. The secret question to ask Doctors and Patients is "DO YOU HAVE ISSUES SOURCING A MEDICAL LABORATORY TEST?" Therefore, the "PRODUCT" in the Medical Laboratory industry is the Medical Laboratory Test.

Ask More Questions

The key to increasing sales is to ask more questions. Imagine you are a salesperson asking every customer you meet if they would consider buying from you. Wouldn't that increase your likelihood of closing more sales? The education system usually applauds the student who gives the right answer but ignores the student who asks a lot questions. However, in order to be an effective salesperson and businessperson, it is very important to ask a lot of questions. In some sales processes this is called probing or needs analysis, which is simply asking questions to find out if your product can solve your customer's problem.

The most important question to ask a customer in Laboratory Medicine is: "DO YOU HAVE ISSUES SOURCING A MEDICAL LABORATORY TEST?" I cannot stress this fact any more than to highlight the results that you will receive from asking this question. This is what I call "PRODUCT SOURCING STRATEGY." This question can fit into any step of the sales process whether it is greeting, qualifying, presenting or closing. ASK MORE QUESTIONS.

Secret Societies in Laboratory Medicine

For centuries, secret societies have existed and exerted a mysterious influence on the world and our way of life. Throughout history there has been many conspiracy theories about how these secret societies conduct business and constitute the super rich. Some names which automatically come to mind include: The Illuminati, Freemasons and the Order of Skull and Bones. With the advent of the internet, it makes it hard for these societies to keep real secrets. Books have been written about the secret handshakes, the code words and the hand signals. Historically, membership in a secret society usually guarantees political favors, business opportunities and financial success.



In Laboratory Medicine, the only secret in our Medical Laboratory society is PRODUCT SOURCING STRATEGY. The code words are: "DO YOU HAVE ISSUES SOURCING A MEDICAL LABORATORY TEST?" The secret handshake is made after you have closed the sale and repeated the action continuously with customers. That is the Secret Society in Laboratory Medicine and its rituals only lead to increased SALES and more revenue. The only difference is that these activities are not concealed and there is really no secret. The secret is SELL MORE.

The Medical Laboratory and Social Media

THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS HAS TRANSFORMED THE WAY THE WORLD COMMUNICATES.

Once we have access to a smartphone or a laptop and access to an internet connection, we can connect with the world whether by video, audio or written form. Everyone is now able to share ideas, promote messages and connect, for FREE, with each other easier than ever before in the information age. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Youtube, Linkedin, SoundCloud and Tik Tok provides us with media to market, promote, advertise and sell ideas.

Social media provides an excellent tool for Medical Technologists to connect and share their knowledge with the world in the form of patient education. The internet provides a voice for the Medical Laboratory to become more visible, educate patients about medical lab tests and change the world. A variety of topics about Laboratory Medicine can be discussed on social media such as the importance of Medical Laboratory Tests, Medical Laboratory Product Search, and building a brand around Laboratory Medicine. Health professionals can benefit from topics such as the importance of order of draw, causes of hemolysis, clotted specimens, and recollect requests. This helps with making the healthcare system more effective.

Business is a religious mission

Entrepreneurs should approach their business like it is a religion. The level of devotion, sacredness, commitment and obsession that an entrepreneur has towards their business will shape the spiritual and religious mission of the business. All humans are born entrepreneurs but not all humans will become highly successful entrepreneurs. Success in business requires a high level of cult-like religious devotion to your brand, marketing and sales. SALES play an important role in keeping a business afloat and looking at your SALES daily has to be a religious mission. Naysayers will label your strategy as sacrilegious, but that is not really a bad thing when it leads to success.


SALES has to be the sacred mission and holy grail of your business. There should be no other department that is as supreme as your SALES team. Sales in Laboratory Medicine is a book written as a Bible for Medical Laboratories that want to grow and prosper. The most important skill of an entrepreneur is their ability to sell. Hence, SALES should be approached as a religious duty of every entrepreneur. Sell More. Help more people.
