4 Ideas Your Medical Device Company is Missing from its Marketing Strategy

Interview with Joe Hage, Chairman of the Medical Devices Group

Medical device marketing consultant Joe Hage is on a mission: To help your company generate more leads.

How does he determine which companies need help?  “I look to see how easy is it for me to leave my contact information,” Joe says.  

And don’t ask him for his physical address or industry. “If I want to find out about your stress machine, why do you need my physical address?”  The lesson: Make it easy as possible for a prospect to get in touch with you.

Another lesson: If you are in medical device marketing or sales, listen to what this industry leader is doing and copy him.

Interview Highlights with Joe Hage

  • How Joe, with a limited medical device industry background, helped Cardiac Science become a medtech marketing leader.
  • Why Joe thinks search engine optimization (SEO) is among the most important elements for your marketing mix.
  • How you can use editorials to demonstrate medical device industry leadership.
  • Why sending prospects to your site homepage may not be the best idea.
  • How you can use social media in an industry as regulated as medical devices.
