Medical device manufacturers · Sales metrics
Track tender win rate and demo-to-order rate, not just revenue.
Sales metrics for a medical device manufacturer are the numbers that show whether the sales effort is converting. Demonstration requests completed, tender win rate and repeat maintenance contract renewals matter most. GullySales sets these up and reports them.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
What sales metrics means
Sales metrics are the specific numbers, such as call volume, conversion rate and average deal size, that show whether a sales team is actually improving. GullySales reports these by enquiry outcome rather than activity, the same enquiry-based reporting used across every engagement.

For medical device manufacturers
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“Tender win rate deserves its own tracked number”
A manufacturer bidding on many tenders but winning few needs to know that rate specifically to decide whether to change pricing, documentation or which tenders to pursue.
“Demo-to-order rate reveals a sales or product gap”
A high rate of completed demonstrations that do not convert to orders often points to a pricing or service concern raised during the demo, worth investigating directly.
“Maintenance contract renewal rate predicts future revenue”
A falling renewal rate on annual maintenance contracts is an early warning about service quality, visible months before the revenue line shows it.
What we do
What we deliver for medical device manufacturers.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
Tender win rate tracking
Your tender win rate tracked by device category, against your own baseline recorded before work starts.
Result: You know whether pricing or documentation is costing you tenders.
Demo-to-order conversion tracking
The rate of completed demonstrations that convert to an order, tracked to surface a pricing or service concern raised during the demo.
Result: A conversion gap gets investigated instead of ignored.
Maintenance contract renewal rate
Your annual maintenance contract renewal rate tracked as an early sign of service quality, before it shows up in revenue.
Result: A slipping renewal rate is caught before it becomes a bigger problem.
Metrics report against baseline
A report of these numbers against the baseline recorded before work started, reviewed with your team.
Result: You see whether the numbers are moving in the right direction.
How the result is measured
- Conversion rate
- Average deal size
- Sales cycle length
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Numbers worth tracking
The numbers a device maker can work out from demo records, tender files and distributor orders.
- Enquiries by buyer type
- Mark each enquiry as hospital biomedical team, purchase committee, distributor or individual doctor, and count by type. Each needs a different follow-up, and the mix shows which pages or listings are working.
- Days from demo request to demo held
- List demonstration requests with the date asked and the date held, and note any cancelled or never scheduled. A long gap here loses evaluations before the device has even been seen.
- Tender documents missing at bid time
- After each tender, list any document that was late or missing, such as the CDSCO licence copy, ISO 13485 certificate or test reports. A document that goes missing again belongs in a ready bid folder.
- Distributor purchases against reported sales
- Compare what each distributor bought from you with what they report placing in hospitals. Stock building up with one distributor means that territory needs support or a different partner.
- Consumables ordered per installed device
- For devices that use disposables or kits, match consumable orders to each installed unit. A unit with no consumable orders may be idle or supplied by someone else, and both are worth a visit to find out.

As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
