overcome adversity<\/a> and succeed despite the odds. After an intense period of overcoming my physical challenges, I put this same mindset and grit into action as I entered the Insurance and Financial Industry. Within five years, I was awarded membership in the prestigious Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT) as a top producer for commission-driven sales. From there I realized I could accomplish anything I had the vision to undertake. Today, I am honored to bring my message of vision, determination and grit around the globe as a motivational keynote sales speaker for the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.<\/p>\nCompanies are like people<\/strong><\/p>\nIn its MedTech Dive<\/em> report (December 14, 2018), Moody\u2019s projected a positive 2019 outlook for the medical device industry. Moody\u2019s estimates a growth of between 4.5% and 5.5% with sales in emerging markets expected to grow into the double digits.<\/p>\nIn 2016, the medical device industry was valued at about $148 billion and has exploded to $173 billion this year. Of the 6,500 companies in the industry, about 80% have 50 or fewer employees. Does this growth mean that medical device companies can afford to be complacent? Hardly. Unless companies innovate quickly, they could get pushed aside.<\/p>\n
Before I was involved in my accident, I was a martial artist and Division-1 football player. I took my health for granted. In an industry showing healthy growth, it is also easy to take continuing success as an unquestioned fact.<\/p>\n
Despite the optimism, medical device industry experts point to several warning signs on the horizon. The experts warn that companies must anticipate new FDA regulations which demand greater accountability, higher performance standards, more complex rules for reimbursements, and an ever-increasing competitive outlook. In one way or another, every one of those 6,500 companies are out to take a piece of market share. It will take increasing determination for companies to separate themselves from their competition.<\/p>\n
Does your company have the GRIT?<\/strong><\/p>\nIn February 2019, the Strategic Information Group, a medical consulting firm, reported on the medical device industry. The firm pointed out that the market dynamics of the industry are in constant change. Companies must strive to reduce costs and streamline operations.\u00a0 There are device companies around the world constantly looking to capitalize on markets and leverage partnerships to their advantage.<\/p>\n
Medical device companies must have the grit to innovate and to understand what makes them unique. They must overcome change and the adversity of competition, regulations and an ever-complex reimbursement structure.<\/p>\n
However, companies aren\u2019t just like people, they are people<\/em>. Everyone on the team must rise up from complacency and never assume that the rules for success don\u2019t apply to them. \u00a0Companies are exceptional because each employee on the team makes them exceptional.<\/p>\nWhether the medical device company has less than 50 employees or more than 5,000, the challenge is to possess a David versus Goliath mentality, to never give up, and to overcome the hidden challenges.<\/p>\n
