Why doctors are the best sales people on earth

[CTO114]

I guess you've never given it a second thought, as no one likes to be funny with their health, but doctors are actually the most strategic sales people and almost nobody sells harder than a doctor. They never chase have anybody and they never almost lower a price, an funnybenough most of their patients never even try to negotiate a discount.

When a patient goes to see a doctor, three things always happen in that consultation or treatment room as the case may be. The first thing is order. They keep asking questions until their patient has completely described the problems themselves. By the time they go on to say what the patients need, the patients are already in agreement that something is wrong.  An average sales person doesn't know this they actually reverse the order, the speak and keep speaking first. Doctors allow their patients to do most of the talking first. First lesson; allow your clients always speak first.

The second is the act of naming. The doctors are good at this c they give the problem a name.  And once a name us established, it's real and they own it. On a second note establish a name.

The third is restraint. They stare the problem once, no justifying, no comparing, no reassurance. The absence of persuasion is what persuades you. You've never had a doctor explain why their advice is good value. They tell you what's wrong, and what fixes it. You never negotiate with a doctor because they never sold you anything, they told you what's wrong and then they stop talking. This is popularly known as clinical selling. Name it say it once. On a third note sell clinically.

Next time you go see a doctor, get out your note pads. As a sales person, sell like a doctor!

Symptoms is the feeling the patient experience and describes to the doctor while signs is what to doctor can observe and assess, no doctor can draw out a diagnosis without this and other things like vital signs and further test.

The doctors aren't asking you those questions to sell anything to you, that is a process they need to carry out to give your the optimum care you require as a patient.

In between you may not know this but the doctors you will encounter in the hospital has no financial gain from your pocket they are just doing their job and get paid at the end of the month, week, hour or as their contract says, most big hospitals in advanced countries aren't even owned by doctors, it could be an investor or group of investors that aren't in the medical line they then employ the service of doctors.

Billionaires and millionaires without a medical degree are investing in the health sector we can see that with big pharma, so don't just suspect that Doctor who is only doing his job to get paid.

Health is wealth. People don't mind spending any amount that concerns their health because with good health they will recover the money back. Doctors don't really do the convincing of patronage; it's the patient, after diagnosis, who convinces themselves to treat the problem. Doctors are there to offer the service, if the patient agrees. However, this cannot be compared to buying goods and services that do not involve health.

I wish it was this easy.
There are many things we can't influence. Someone selling a casket can't cut off someone's head for them to sell one casket. They have to wait patiently for something bad to happen to someone. Then sales happen instantly.
One thing I will learn from doctors is the ability to escalate events and take advantage of desperation.

Sales person means that they are trying to sell you something and we all think of a monetary cost. Unless you are America or from a few other countries then chances are you have universal healthcare, so they aren't trying to sell you anything. They are there to diagnose and give you advice, which is a very big difference. You don't have to take the advice or try to arrange any medicine that they may suggest, but they are generally looking out for your well being. America does have a big problem, or did, but doctors should in no way be incentivized via commissions or perks to sell products to patients - it's a very sick society that allows such vulture practices. There will be a few people who get into medicine just because of the high salaries, but the majority of people become doctors because they want to health others. You have a very sad view of the world if you're trying to parallel the medical advice of doctors with running a sales pitch.

Anything that concerns medical profession always sell...medical doctors are important in the world, because they deal with health of everybody, so nobody can take them for granted because of their profession...doctors are the most recognised in world, but some of them doesn't take care of their health adequately...whereas they're in charge of health.

I understand the angle you are heading to, but there are many other strategies to use if you want to get more clients or customers for your business. In business, you don't just give a customer or a client something without them asking (unless they are curious); by doing so, it shows that you are desperate or probably don't know how to interact with clients. My whole point hee is that you need to understand what a client wants before you start giving anything (unless you are advertising your service).

Doctors allow their patients to do most of the talking first. First lesson; allow your clients always speak first.

How do you do it then?
Do you go straight to the hospital, and the doctor starts giving you drugs without knowing what the issue is?
The doctor needs to know what the problem is, and they cannot know unless you tell them. They also need to do some tests before treatment can continue.

The only time treatment will be given without you explaining the issue is during an emergency.

I didn't see any person who is not investing in their own body. Except a few people who don't have money, good health is real wealth, and that's what people focus on. They don't care how much they can spend. From this behavior, doctors get the idea to fix their prices and already know that those who come to their clinic will afford it and never negotiate. They negotiate on the issue that brings them to the doctor, and after some counseling and recommendations for medicine, you leave satisfied and happily without knowing how much he took from you..
