Medical & Healthcare
Outbound Pipeline for Medical Devices, Health Tech & Healthcare Services
Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder buying committees in healthcare with structured outbound campaigns that earn clinical and administrative trust.
Selling into the healthcare sector — whether you provide medical devices, health technology platforms, clinical services, or consulting — presents unique challenges that make outbound prospecting both more difficult and more valuable than in most industries. Healthcare buying decisions involve large committees spanning clinical, administrative, procurement, and IT stakeholders, each with distinct priorities and evaluation criteria. A structured outbound programme is the only reliable way to engage all of these personas systematically.
The healthcare market is also shaped by long procurement cycles, stringent regulatory requirements, and a deeply evidence-based culture. Buyers expect vendors to demonstrate clinical efficacy, regulatory compliance, and measurable outcomes before they will agree to a meeting, let alone a pilot. This means that generic sales outreach falls flat — healthcare outbound must lead with evidence, case studies, and a genuine understanding of clinical workflows and patient outcomes.
Systematise builds outbound programmes that respect the complexity and rigour of healthcare sales. Our campaigns are designed to engage clinical champions, procurement directors, and IT decision-makers with tailored messaging that addresses their specific concerns. We combine healthcare-specific data sources with multi-channel outreach to open doors at hospitals, health systems, pharmaceutical companies, and NHS trusts.
Challenges We Solve
Common pain points for medical & healthcare companies running outbound sales.
Multi-Stakeholder Buying Committees
Healthcare purchasing decisions typically involve clinicians, administrators, procurement teams, and IT departments. Engaging only one persona is insufficient — outbound must systematically reach and persuade each member of the committee.
Evidence-Based Purchasing Culture
Healthcare buyers demand clinical evidence, peer-reviewed studies, and measurable outcomes before considering a new product or service. Outbound messaging must lead with evidence rather than feature lists to earn credibility.
Regulatory and Compliance Barriers
Products and services entering the healthcare market must navigate complex regulatory frameworks including FDA clearance, CE marking, and NHS procurement standards. Outbound campaigns must demonstrate regulatory readiness from the first interaction.
Budget Constraints and Long Procurement Cycles
Healthcare organisations operate under significant budget pressure, and procurement processes can span twelve to twenty-four months. Outbound must be structured as a long-nurture programme that builds trust and demonstrates value over extended timelines.
Reaching Time-Constrained Clinicians
Doctors, surgeons, and clinical directors have extremely limited time for vendor meetings. Outbound outreach must be concise, immediately relevant, and demonstrate clear clinical value to earn even a fifteen-minute conversation.

- Regulatory compliance messaging that addresses FDA, CE, and local market requirements from the first touchpoint
- KOL (key opinion leader) engagement programmes to build clinical advocacy before formal procurement begins
Example Campaigns
How outbound works in practice for medical & healthcare companies.
Medical Device Market Entry
Launching a new medical device requires reaching both the clinicians who will champion its adoption and the procurement teams who will approve the purchase. Outbound campaigns targeting surgical directors, department heads, and procurement leads at target hospitals generate initial interest and pilot commitments. By engaging clinical champions early, you build internal advocacy that accelerates the formal procurement process.
Health Tech Platform Sales to Hospital Systems
Selling a digital health platform to a hospital system requires engaging CIOs, CMIOs, and clinical informatics teams simultaneously. Outbound sequences tailored to each persona — technical integration details for IT, workflow improvement evidence for clinicians, and cost-reduction data for finance — ensure every decision-maker receives relevant information. This multi-threaded approach dramatically improves conversion rates compared with single-point-of-contact outreach.
Pharmaceutical Services Business Development
Contract research organisations, CMOs, and pharmaceutical services firms need to reach VP-level decision-makers at pharma and biotech companies. Outbound campaigns timed to pipeline stage milestones — Phase II completion, scale-up decisions, regulatory submissions — engage prospects at moments of maximum relevance. This trigger-based approach yields meeting rates significantly higher than untargeted outreach.
Real-World Success Stories
See how companies in medical & healthcare have grown their pipeline with outbound.
Philips Healthcare
Medical Devices / Health TechnologyChallenge
Philips' transition from individual medical devices to integrated health informatics solutions required engaging a new set of buyers — CIOs, CMIOs, and health system executives — in addition to the clinical departments that had traditionally purchased Philips equipment. The sales team needed to navigate multi-stakeholder buying committees across hundreds of health systems globally.
Approach
Philips built a dedicated outbound function targeting health system C-suites with messaging focused on patient outcomes, operational efficiency, and total cost of ownership. Campaigns combined executive briefings, clinical evidence summaries, and ROI calculators tailored to each health system's size and specialty mix.
Results
- Connected health solutions revenue grew to over €3B annually, representing Philips' fastest-growing segment
- Outbound campaigns targeting health system CIOs achieved a 14% meeting acceptance rate
- Multi-stakeholder engagement reduced average sales cycle from 18 months to 11 months for enterprise deals
- Clinical evidence-led messaging improved proposal win rates by 35% compared to feature-led approaches

Medtronic
Medical Devices / SurgicalChallenge
Medtronic faced increasing pricing pressure from hospital group purchasing organisations and needed to shift the conversation from individual device price to total episode-of-care value. This required engaging hospital administrators and value-analysis committees alongside surgeons.
Approach
Medtronic developed outbound campaigns that targeted value-analysis committee members, supply chain directors, and clinical department heads simultaneously. Messaging led with outcomes data — reduced complication rates, shorter hospital stays, and lower readmission rates — rather than device specifications.
Results
- Value-based selling approach contributed to Medtronic maintaining its market leadership position with over $30B in annual revenue
- Outbound campaigns targeting value-analysis committees generated a 20% increase in enterprise-level contract discussions
- Outcome-led messaging improved average deal size by 28% as conversations shifted from unit price to episode value
- Multi-stakeholder campaigns reduced decision-cycle length by 22% by proactively addressing procurement concerns

Stryker
Medical Devices / OrthopaedicsChallenge
Stryker needed to accelerate adoption of its Mako robotic-assisted surgery platform in a market where many orthopaedic surgeons remained sceptical of robotic technology. Selling a capital-intensive robotic system required engaging hospital administrators, surgeons, and procurement teams simultaneously.
Approach
Stryker developed multi-stakeholder outbound campaigns targeting orthopaedic department heads, hospital CEOs, and value-analysis committees. The approach combined surgeon peer-referral outreach with executive-level ROI presentations, offering site visits to existing Mako-equipped hospitals and hands-on demonstration days.
Results
- Mako system installations grew by over 30% year-over-year, significantly outpacing the broader orthopaedic market
- Multi-stakeholder outbound campaigns achieved a 25% conversion rate from initial meeting to on-site demonstration
- Surgeon peer-referral programmes generated 40% of all new Mako enquiries, with outbound seeding the initial referral network
- Average time from first outbound contact to signed capital purchase agreement reduced from 14 months to 9 months
