The Role of Digital Technology in Sales Team Performance and Development
Oct 11, 2019
Pharmaceutical companies depend on the capability and experience of medical representatives to win over and retain healthcare professionals and relies on them to deliver medical innovations to customers. These representatives undergo frequent training to develop their selling techniques and skills, and to stay abreast of the developments in the industry.
Salesforce Performance and Development: Tasks and Obstacles
Medical representatives are burdened with copious tasks and goals to accomplish: maintaining physician lists, preparing territory plans, planning calls, distributing samples, auditing retail chemist prescriptions, and meeting sales targets. Added to these, the regular training and briefing sessions strain the sales teams’ time and resources that could have been spent on reaching more potential clients and earning more sales.
The time available for medical representatives to interact with physicians is shrinking. In an IQVIA HCP Space survey, 39% of physicians said that they spent an average of 3 - 5 minutes with a medical representative, and 27% said that they spent less than 3. It is crucial that this trend is reversed, so physicians can gain sufficient information and understanding of the representatives’ message and offering.
Skills development should also go beyond training sessions. Peer learning with real world situations further instills new skills and practices. Discussions with industry leaders and experts add an experienced perspective to the representative’s understanding.
While skills development and training are important to improve the salesforce, solutions need to be found to provide representatives with training and resources beyond time-consuming training sessions. Easily accessible and up-to-date resources on the industry, best practices, and the brand can give sales teams an edge against competition, are also crucial in allowing sales teams and individual representatives to learn and brush up on their skills on the move.
Digital Technology: Alleviating the Burden
Digital technology has given medical representatives new tools to overcome the hinderances they faced and enhance their meetings with valuable information and insight. With accessible data-driven analytics, drug information at their fingertips, and standardized communications, sales teams can now deliver their offerings and sell their products more effectively and efficiently. App innovations today also help representatives solve other obstacles they face, including lead prioritization, conversion prediction, and route planning.
New technologies must be seamlessly integrated into the sales training effort to pave the way for a new digitally savvy salesforce that is connected to the consumer and the ecosystem, and ultimately execute the companies’ sales strategy.
