DESCRIPTION
The MarkeTech Group Scientific Method Webinar by Robert Enzerink and James Garvin How Much Are Clinical Customers Willing To Pay? -- Using Voice-of-the-Customer To Get Your Key Questions Answered Trying to determine what features and benefits you should go to market with or which of those features your customers truly value the most and are willing to pay a premium for,...can be one tough nut to crack. A common challenge in the medical field is to move beyond the internal filters and biases created when your input comes primarily through your sales force and KOL channels. KOLs tend to be early adopters and technology geeks; engineering teams are convinced that a more technically advanced product will sell itself; sales will push for lower prices so they can compete; and regulatory bodies like CMS keep tightening reimbursement pressures... Executives need credible information to guide decisions. The MarkeTech Group 502 Mace Blvd. Davis, CA 95618 www.themarketechgroup.comTRANSCRIPT

There can be a real problem with asking your potential customers “what they want”…
If you build a product based on what customer’s “say” is important… ….you design this
….and they are willing to pay this….but then they go and buy this?
