Launch Planning in Digital-First Reality: How can a Traditional “Reach and Frequency” Model be Adapted to Omnichannel Future

The Cost of a sales rep visit in the US is $300-$400 - what is the digital equivalent of one rep visit?
What is the product adoption journey of HCPs nowadays and how can pharma companies respect it and achieve successful launches?
What tools in the omnichannel toolbox does pharma have nowadays, and how should they plan to use them before launch?
How to adjust sales rep planning in the digital-first launches? What is “Territory Warming”?

To answer these questions Bozidar is joined by Peter Marchesini, Senior Vice President at Indegene.

They cover:

[ 02:28 ] - Five years ago, sales reps were the sole means of delivering a brand's messaging to HCPs but were highly inefficient and expensive. Thanks to new technologies and digitization, they can provide your company's messaging more efficiently.
[ 07:56 ] - Customer segmentation starts by identifying like-minded physicians and digital affinity can be based on past interactions with them. If you segment your digitally savvy doctors, and the rest of them need to see reps because they're not interacting digitally, you've automatically cut that list down to an approachable number of physicians or HCPs that will interact with you.
[ 15:30 ] - A sales rep visit in the US costs $300-$400. But the digital equivalent is much lower because you won't have $10 billion launches anymore. Furthermore, you can reach every target on day one of your launch.
[ 28:21 ] - Digital can help "warm the territory" at a level your customer can understand your product. The rep could answer questions in more detail and follow up with information that may reinforce that messaging less expensively.
