About The Position

VieMed Healthcare is the largest independent specialized provider of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) in the US home respiratory health care industry. They specialize in treating the most challenging respiratory patients inside the home by pairing best-in-class technology and equipment with the clinical care of a full-time Respiratory Therapist. VieMed aims to be the leading provider in post-acute in-home care with the implementation of palliative services. Their Disease Management program has earned national attention, making them the number one independent ventilation provider in the United States, with a 30-day COPD re-admission rate of 5.7% compared to the industry average of 20-22%. Over 93% of their patients report that they "Breathe Better" on their treatment program. While Respiratory Therapists provide clinical care, Sales Representatives work in conjunction with healthcare decision-makers to ensure a comfortable transition for the patient from the hospital to their home. This achieves better management of the length of stay and re-admission rates to hospitals, which reduces costs for patients and brings personalized clinical care directly to the patient from the comfort of their own home. VieMed's mission is to educate, nurture, and inspire patients to lead better lives. This position is a field-based, business development, hands-on clinical sales role that requires a candidate with the drive and skill to be a patient advocate and a positive representative of VieMed. This position is responsible for identifying and initiating one-on-one dialogue with new potential referral sources and maintaining positive relationships with existing referral sources. The candidate will leverage their clinical and sales expertise to design and develop cutting-edge sales strategies to drive VieMed’s disease management program and respiratory products to new market potential to grow the business within the assigned territory. The candidate will spend most of their time (80% or more) in the field: networking, building relationships, and educating referral sources within the hospital on all the benefits of VieMed’s disease management program will improve the lives of their patients with Chronic Respiratory Failure.
