Healthcare marketing: An Interview on Positioning, Content Creation & lead Generation
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Zain Syed for the Digital Thoughts Podcast to talk about one of my favorite topics: healthcare marketing & positioning and what it means for business development, lead generation, and go to market strategies and tactics.
Here’s a bit about what we cover in this interview:
- How I got into healthcare consulting
- Using training to learn valuable skills
- My advice for healthcare startups
- Healthcare Positioning
- Lead generation that works in healthcare
- Go to Market Strategies
- Content strategies for healthcare companies & clinicians
Interview Highlight: Content Creation & Healthcare Marketing
Here’s a key quote from the interview about healthcare marketing & positioning:
“If you’re a clinician looking at getting out of clinical work, or even if you’re a clinician looking to expand your career, you should be creating some kind of content. We live in the world of content creation. You should be creating something because somebody that is going to see it or somebody that you might apply to a job to work for is going to look you up. You want them to see that you’re thinking about the problems.” -Rafi Salazar
