By Lauren Haas | December 5, 2024

This blog takes you through the journey of an infusion sales leader whose referral targeting strategy kept hitting dead ends, knocking on the same doors, and pursuing the same opportunities without success.

Competitors are effortlessly winning referrals, and frustration is setting in. But everything shifts when she uncovers a game-changing solution that enables her team to expand its referral targeting strategy and diversify into new territories like hospitals, home health agencies, and skilled nursing facilities.

Read on to discover how her story unfolds and the strategy that transforms her team’s success.

Chasing Leads and Getting Ghosted

Meet Jaime, a tenacious sales leader in the Infusion industry. She’s the type who rallies her team, tackles challenges head-on, and doesn’t settle for mediocrity. But lately, her team’s momentum has stalled.

It’s mid-month, and the monthly quota attainment is at just 30%. During the weekly check-in, Jaime listens to her sales reps vent: top referral sources have gone quiet, and just when they’re on the verge of securing a partnership with a referral, a competitor swoops in and seals the deal first.

Jaime knows they can’t afford to stay on this trajectory. Determined to get to the root of the problem, she dives into their referral strategy. The results are eye-opening: her team is losing over 70% of referrals to their two biggest competitors.

This isn’t just a challenge for Jaime; it’s a call to action. She’s determined to empower her team with the insights and tools they need to break out of this slump, stand out in a crowded market, and turn every missed opportunity into a win.

The Turning Point: Partnering with Hospitals, Skilled Nursing Facilities, and Home Health Agencies 

A day and a half into her research, Jaime receives an email from Trella Health. Intrigued, she opens and reads it — immediately feeling a spark of hope.
