Medical supplies distributors · Sales process
Write down every step from the requirement list to the invoice the hospital pays.
A sales process for a medical supplies distributor is the written order of steps from a hospital's requirement to a supplied order, a delivery, a demonstration where needed and the invoice that is paid. GullySales writes those steps with your sales, stores and accounts heads so that one record follows each order.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
What sales process means
A sales process is the fixed sequence of steps, such as enquiry, site visit, quote and order, that every deal is expected to pass through in the same order. GullySales writes this sequence down for your business and checks that every salesperson actually follows it.

For medical supplies distributors
Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.
“The quote is sent before anyone knows who approves”
A rate list goes to a store keeper who cannot buy anything. The purchase manager and the medical superintendent never see it, and the quote sits.
“Equipment is sold without a demonstration or a service answer”
A hospital buying a monitor or a suction machine wants to see it work and to know who comes when it fails. Without that, it buys from the dealer who answers.
“Credit is settled after the order”
A rep takes the order, accounts refuses the credit, and the hospital waits for stock it thought was confirmed. The first experience of you is a delay.
What we do
What we deliver for medical supplies distributors.
Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.
A written list of steps in your trade's words
Requirement, qualify, quote or demonstration, follow-up, order with credit, delivery and installation, invoice and payment, each with an owner.
Result: A new rep learns the sales route in a morning.
A qualifying set of questions
Who raises the requirement, who approves, whether it is a tender or a direct purchase, who supplies today and what the buyer dislikes about that supplier.
Result: Quotes go to people who can place the order.
A demonstration and trial routine for equipment
What to carry, who attends, how the demonstration is logged and what the buyer needs to say yes, with a service route explained on the day.
Result: Equipment sales stop stalling at the question of who services it.
A credit check before the order is confirmed
A short form for new accounts and a rule for when an order waits for accounts to approve, written so the rep can tell the buyer early.
Result: No hospital learns about credit terms after it has ordered.
A handover from sales to stores and accounts
A single order sheet with items, batches, delivery date and installation need, passed to the stores and accounts teams, with a confirmation back to the buyer.
Result: The delivery matches what was promised.
A review of won and lost orders
A short note on each closed enquiry covering the reason won or lost, kept in the CRM and read before the next quote.
Result: The process improves from your own orders.
How the result is measured
- Deals following the process
- Time spent at each step
- Drop-off rate by step
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Steps of a sale
Take every hospital order from the first requirement list to the invoice that gets paid, in the same order each time.
- Requirement list received
- Log the institution, the items with quantities, the date needed and who sent it. Acknowledge the same day and say what you can supply from stock and what you will bring on order.
- Qualify the buyer
- Ask who approves, whether it is a tender or a direct purchase, who supplies now and what is wrong with that supplier. Record the answers before a rate is mentioned.
- Quote or demonstration
- For consumables, send a quote with batch and shelf life stated. For equipment, arrange a demonstration with the person who will use it and explain who installs and services it.
- Follow-up on the open quote
- Set a call date when the quote goes. Ring the purchase manager and the store keeper, ask what is holding the decision, and write down the answer in the buyer's own words.
- Order, credit and documents
- Confirm the order against your quote, check the credit with accounts before you promise a date, and collect the purchase order, GST details and any vendor form the hospital needs.
- Delivery, installation and first invoice
- Dispatch with batch and expiry on the invoice, arrange the installation, and call after delivery. Ask whether accounts has accepted the invoice format before the next order.
