Physicians differ significantly in terms of how they think and practice medicine!
And yet, many medical reps make the mistake of using a "one size fits all" approach.
Physicians differ significantly in terms of how they think and practice medicine!
And yet, many medical reps make the mistake of using a "one size fits all" approach.
Medical reps need to not only understand the individual attitudes and prescribing behaviour of
each of their customers, but to also choose the "right" selling approach that will quickly engage
the physician's interest ... and make best use of available face-to-face selling time.
Being customer-centric also means identifying and focusing on those topics for discussion
that are most important and relevant to the physician, and the challenges they face in managing
their patients. In other words, providing "high quality" information about the key differentiating
clinical benefits of their drug product(s) that are of greatest value to the physician.
And finally, medical reps need to do all of this by effectively using "best evidence" to support
their product claims, and in a "professional" manner ... in a way that emphasizes a relaxed, two-way
conversation.
