The Playbook

The Healthcare SaaS Marketing Playbook

Selling software into healthcare is its own sport. Long sales cycles, a buying committee that includes clinical, IT, security, and finance, and a compliance bar that kills most campaigns before they ship. This is the operator's guide to marketing that actually moves health-tech pipeline. 25 chapters. 210 pages. Every framework I use.

Why this exists

Generic SaaS marketing advice breaks the moment it hits healthcare

You read the demand-gen blogs, you copy the growth playbooks, and none of it survives contact with a health system procurement process. The buyer is not one person, it is a committee. The cycle is not weeks, it is quarters. And one careless claim in a campaign can put legal, security, or compliance on your back before a single demo gets booked.

This playbook is the version I wish I had when I started marketing software into healthcare. It treats the constraints as the strategy, not the obstacle. Positioning, messaging, demand generation, SEO, paid, partnerships, analyst relations, and measurement, all rebuilt for the way health-tech actually buys.

Founders selling software into hospitals, clinics, payers, or pharma
Heads of marketing who inherited a health-tech category they did not train for

Product and growth leads who need marketing and sales to finally align
Anyone tired of generic SaaS advice that ignores compliance and the buying committee

Who wrote it

A technologist who learned marketing by running it

William Hunt is a computer scientist first. A BS in Computer Science, an MBA from the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, and more than 15 years building web and software systems before he ever ran a marketing team. That path went through the Department of Defense, the Pentagon, and the White House transparency boards behind Recovery.gov and USASpending.gov, then through web analytics at scale across dozens of revenue-generating sites.

Today he runs marketing at a health-tech company, which means every framework in this book has been pressure-tested against real pipeline, real compliance review, and a real budget. This is not theory borrowed from a B2C growth blog. It is the engineer's approach to marketing measurement applied to the hardest software category there is.

Questions before you buy

Who is this playbook for?

Marketing leaders, founders, and operators at healthcare SaaS and health-tech companies selling software into clinics, hospitals, and health systems.

What's actually inside?

25 chapters, 210 pages, illustrated framework diagrams. Positioning, HIPAA-aware campaigns, the buying committee, SEO and AI-search visibility, paid media for long sales cycles, and a 90-day plan.

I'm not technical, will this still help me?

Yes. It's written so a non-engineer can run it, by a computer scientist who runs marketing in health tech, so the technical parts are translated, not assumed.

How is it delivered?

Why $67?

It's priced to be a no-brainer for one person's afternoon, against frameworks that took 15+ years and a Hopkins MBA to build.

A full-day consulting session on this would cost thousands. The playbook is $67, one time, instant PDF download. If it does not give you something you can use this quarter, Gumroad's refund window has you covered. The risk is reading generic advice for another year and wondering why the pipeline never moves.
