50 Commercial Terms Every Clinical Product Managers Need to Know 📈

Most Clinical Product Managers are clinically strong. But the ones who progress fastest understand the commercial consequences of their decisions. That’s why I created a free guide for people in clinical product.

Why This Matters

In healthtech, influence doesn’t come from clinical expertise alone.

It comes from being able to say:

  • “This increases CAC.”

  • “This protects LTV.”

  • “This improves renewal but compresses margin.”

  • “This strengthens utilisation assumptions.”

If you can’t connect clinical thinking to economic reality, you won’t be heard in interviews or in the rooms that matter.

What’s Inside

This guide covers:

  • Business models (who pays vs who uses)

  • Core revenue metrics (ARR, MRR, ACV, GM)

  • Unit economics (CAC, LTV, payback period)

  • Retention & growth signals (NRR, churn, MoM)

  • Healthcare-specific commercial language (PMPM, capitation, value-based care)

  • The models shaping UK healthtech today

50 terms.
Plain English.
No MBA waffle.

Who It’s For

This guide is for:

  • Clinicians moving into product

  • Associate / mid-level CPMs aiming for senior roles

  • Healthtech professionals preparing for interviews

  • Anyone who wants to operate confidently in commercial conversations

What Changes After You Read It

You won’t just recognise acronyms.

You’ll understand:

  • Where commercial risk sits

  • How product decisions affect revenue

  • Why margins shape behaviour

And most importantly, how to translate clinical reasoning into commercial language.

Because influence comes from translation.
