MARKET GROWTH: NEW CUSTOMERS versus NEW
MARKET SHARE
Originally presented August 2010
WHY IS MARKET DATA IMPORTANT?Numbers are the “language of business”It forces definition and commitmentIt destroys “myths” & bases decisions on fact,
not perceptionIt gives a full perspective It becomes the basis of a sales plan
FOUR KEY QUESTIONSHow much time should I focus on finding new
customers versus trying to gain market share?
What is a realistic sales forecast and who is my real competition?
Which accounts should I be calling on and how frequently?
How can I gain additional business from my key hospital accounts?
NEW CUSTOMERS versus MARKET SHAREThe decision as to how much to focus on each
opportunity, should be based on the return of time invested.
Need to quantify the situationUtilization = Patients Served
Medicare Fee for Service Enrollees
NEW CUSTOMER OPPORTUNITY
*Weighted Utilization=Pts Served/Medicare FFS Eligible
NEW CUSTOMER OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS• Highest state(FL) has a utilization rate that is
more than 6 times larger than the lowest state’s(HI)
• Variation at county level likely to be as large• As long as your geography is NOT in the
Quartile 1(below 10.3%), there is an opportunity to find new patients
• If it is easier for a referral source to give you a new patient than to take one away from another agency
POTENTIAL NEW CUSTOMERSHospital discharges going to facilities,
instead of homePatients going home without any supervisionUnderserved demographics, usually non-
whitesCommunity-based specialty programs, such
as low-vision and Anodyne therapy

REALISTIC SALES FORECASTSTo grow by adding new customers, you need
to know how big the market is currentlyLook at other markets who have already
incorporated these new types of patientsEstimate what percentage of these new types
of patients currently and will make up of the market
Quantify the revenue potential of these new patients
REALISTIC SALES FORECASTS• Understand the seasonality of your agency
and market– Understand how much more or less than the
quarterly average that a given quarter represents. (Quarterly average = index of 100)
– Certain geographies(Florida) and certain types of agencies(hospital-based) have meaningful seasonal variations
– Reflect seasonality in monthly and quarterly forecasts
KEY ACCOUNT TARGETING• As a sales rep, time is your most valuable
resource• Your goal is to spend in ways which will give
you the highest return—highest commissions• Major tool is account targeting and territory
management—which accounts you call upon and how often. This is why you assign “A” & “B” accounts
• How often are these assignments based on the historical records of your agency?
KEY ACCOUNT TARGETING-HOSPITALSNeed to know which hospitals care for the
residents of your service area in what proportion
Need to know whether facilities have a length of stay issue
Are patients going out of your service area to receive hospital care?
