• Insights & Expertise: You will develop expertise in various areas of healthcare technology, using these insights to contribute to the analysis and publication of industry reports.
• Research: You will speak with healthcare providers to obtain feedback on healthcare technology products and services, understand what these providers are facing, and in return, help these providers understand and use our data. Research is primarily done by phone conversations with technology decision-makers.

• A focus on service rather than sales.
• Superior client relations, particularly with C-suite executives.
• Consultative sales skills, especially utilizing a Challenger approach.
• The ability to gain expertise in healthcare IT.
• Integrity and competent humility.
• Executive presence.
