In many retail DME businesses, however, product expertise and sales training are limited, leading to missed revenue opportunities and lower customer satisfaction. This session is designed to help DME owners and managers implement practical, high-impact sales training for their in-store teams—without requiring a large investment or major operational changes. Led by a seasoned sales director, this session will walk through a proven training framework that teaches reps how to engage with customers, ask the right questions, and connect them to the right solutions. The focus will be on real-world scenarios in DME settings, where reps need to translate medical product knowledge into approachable, helpful conversations that build trust and drive conversions. This talk is not about promoting any one company or brand—it’s about sharing techniques that any DME can implement immediately. To reinforce this, the session will conclude with two guest speakers from other DME businesses who have adopted similar in-house training models. They’ll share how ongoing education and a structured sales approach have led to stronger customer relationships, increased revenue, and more confident staff. Whether you're running one location or several, this session will provide actionable tools to elevate your team and improve results on the floor.Show MoreClick the title to see all details
