Improving Demand Practices

The operating paradigm of the pharmaceutical industry has changed. The days of double-digit, year-over-year growth are history. Sales forces that are focused on supporting multi-billion dollar blockbuster products are already being reinvented. As companies “right-size” operations, there is a renewed focus on achieving greater efficiencies to meet revenue objectives. Insights generated from data and leveraged through analytical processes and tools will be one of the key differentiators to realize these efficiencies.

Life Science companies have more ways to reach patients than ever before, but to truly influence the decision to purchase, Life Science sales forces need a transformation. Sales force representatives have two primary targets: the patient and all the patient’s influencers, such as doctors, pharmacists, payers, etc. When selling to the influencers, sales representatives must be equipped with information and data to support why a product offers superior value. Life Science organizations must improve their sales and marketing effectiveness, while remaining within current and emerging regulatory boundaries. The next generation of demand management tools must be harnessed to optimize sales force effectiveness and enable flexible customer-facing strategies.
