Here's the deal: In 1947, Elmer Wheeler was one of the best-known salesmen of his time. His "Wheeler Institute of Words" developed a ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in best practices" of selling, by testing a variety of words in over 19 million selling situations. I'm right in the middle of reading one of Elmer's most famous books, "Tested Sentences That Sell". And here's a great little se lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. lling trick that comes straight out of this book: Ever go into a restaurant and order a drink? Of course you have. And what does your server usually ask you, right after you place your order? They usually say "Small or lar here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe e?", right? Well, imagine for a moment... you're the owner of this restaurant. Do you have any idea how much your sales would increase over time, if... instead of saying "Small or large?" after your customers ordered their d d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro rinks ... you told your servers to instead, say... “Large one?” Let me take the guess-work out of this and make your job easier for you. Elmer Wheeler tested this experiment out in five-thousand separate selling situations. ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc And the results showed, when your server asked "Large one?"... 7 out of every 10 people, answered “Yes!” So, let's say a large soda costs you 35? more than a small soda -- are you with me on this? This means, by saying "La easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi rge one?"... 7 out of every 10 customers that walk through your door, end up giving you an extra 35 cents! Now you may be thinking, "So what?... It's only 35 cents." A-h-h-h, but remember.... Little Hinges Swing Big Doors nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically Open! Follow me here for a minute: If you've got 5 servers... and each of them does this with 100 customers a day, this means each of them will be serving large sodas to an extra 70 people a day. That's an extra 350 large s and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ oda sales a day. (5 servers x 70 large sodas each). 350 extra sales, at 35? each, is $122.50 a day in extra gross sales for you... which translates into $857.50 extra a week, and over 52 weeks, this turns into... $44,590 Dol ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi ars A Year... With
ZERO Extra Marketing Costs Involved! Not bad, hey? And if your large sodas cost 50? more than your small sodas, in that case, your annual bump in gross sales would be $63,700 Dollars! 70? more? O.K., th ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a at one's easy -- just double the 35? figure -- now you're selling $89,180 Dollars more! See how easy this stuff is? It's insane, isn't it? But what if you don't have a restaurant? How can you use this trick in your busines dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod ? Well, let's say you own a photography store. When people are filling out their forms to get their pictures developed, instead of saying "Singles or doubles?", you can say "Doubles?". If you own a landscaping company, inst cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin ead of asking "Shrubs and lawn?", you'd say "Whole yard?" And if you're a hairdresser, instead of asking "Cut and shampoo?", you just say "Shampoo?" Make sense? When it comes down to it, the basic premise of this selling tr tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen ck, is... If You Don't Ask... You Don’t Get!
