Transcript
- Yoel Bakas: Your LINAC vendor sales team sells LINACS every single day. You buy one every maybe seven to 10 years? they practice the sales conversation constantly. They know the objections. know the budget ranges. They even know the approval process at programs like yours. They know where they have flexibility and where they need to hold the line. You're walking into that room having done it a few times. Maybe only once or twice. Think about that asymmetry. This is not a criticism. It is just the reality of how this market works. The information asymmetry is structural. It is built into the relationship. Elite athletes don't compete at the top level without coaching staff. They have people in their corner who have seen every opponent. who know opponent's tendencies. who help them prepare for the situation in front of them. Program leaders navigating a major capital decision or service contract renewal deserve the same thing. Someone who has been on the other side of the table. who understands deeply how the deal was structured before you walked in. who can help you prepare for the conversation your vendor has already had a hundred times.
