Healthtech sales - a reality check with no filters

Let’s talk HealthTech #3: HealthTech sales – a reality check with no filters

The mismatch, the rules of the game and what actually works

Selling to healthcare? It’s more often a clash of worlds than a match made in heaven. During this LTHT (Let’s Talk HealthTech), we’ll put the points of friction on the table. No sales pitches, just the unvarnished truth from both sides, so you go home with sharper insights and more understanding on both sides.

We’ll drop statements that will feel familiar to both startups and healthcare teams. Startups share their perspective and real experiences; healthcare organisations respond with their reality, context and the “why” behind processes and decisions. And you, the audience, won’t be left on the sidelines: think along, respond and fuel the conversation.

Expect concrete takeaways on approach & communication, decision-making within healthcare organisations, and how to get on the same wavelength faster.

After the session, there will be a networking lunch to get to know the Limburg HealthTech ecosystem further and to exchange experiences in an informal setting.

And yes... this edition is a lunch session and not a breakfast one! And don't forget, the event is in Dutch.
