Overview
The Hospitals and Agencies Sales Spotlight summarizes the most important information about the selected hospital or agency. This tab will help you to:
- Evaluate the overall performance of your selected hospital against state or county benchmarks.
- Identify your competitors for patients treated by the selected hospital.
- Prepare to engage with the hospital's staff with a message that demonstrates your competitive advantage.
Users can send themselves or their colleagues emails with the information in the Sales Spotlight too. This enables sales reps to have that hospital's information at their finger tips on a mobile device before a sales call. Additionally sales managers can also share potential targets with a sales rep through email for easier access when the sales rep is on the move.
Sales Spotlight is the first and default tab on the hospital or agency Analyze page.
This article explains the different parts of the Sales Spotlight tab. See our article on Hospital Sales Spotlight - Understanding the Metrics for specific details on a particular metric.

Conversation Starters - With Conversation Starters on, each metric is presented as a statement that focuses on the competitive advantage of your agency the metric demonstrates. The Conversation Starters are designed to help you generate a convincing message that shows your agency's competitive advantage. The specific conversation starters are created in this order:
- Against a competitor - If your agency outperforms another top SNF, we show the comparison between the two agencies. In these cases, the metrics will be green.
- Against a benchmark - If we can't find an example of competitive advantage against a competitor, we will include a favorable comparison with a state metric. These metrics will appear green.
- Area for growth - If we are unable to include a metric that shows your agency performing well, we will still include a comparison with the state metric to show an area where you need to grow. Those metrics will be red.
