28
THE PHARMACEUTICAL SELLING REALITY
What academics said about personal selling may not be applicable anymore in a crowded market where; All competitors are using the same techniques The number of competitors have increased (some with large amount to spend) Doctors are busier than ever
29
The Pharmaceutical Selling Reality
As an example of how reality is, a study observing 260 calls in the Phils showed that: 40% of all calls lasted less than 30 seconds 60% of all calls lasted less than 1 minute More over a field research using video techniques showed that often doctors receive 5 and even 10 MRs at the same time
30
My Observations In general most MRs are not conscious of the value productive calls/productivity. Human nature – most people choose to travel the easy road MRs prefer to call on MDs that are easy to cover. Most MRs are not aware of the value of productive frequency Conversational approach is most effective
31
What is productivity? In economics, Productivity is the amount of output created (in terms of goods produced or services rendered) produced per unit input of used. For instance, labor productivity is typically measured as output per worker or output per labor-hour. With respect to land, the "yield" is equivalent to "land productivity".
33

Opening Opening is the most important step of a sales call
Helps to capture customers attention and create interest Establishes the purpose of your call Sets the mood & structure for the entire call
49
Steps of a Successful Opening
Greetings Rapport building Purpose of a call Sharp shooting.. Sharp Shooting
50
Types of Sharp Shooting
For creating that moment of stillness in which the attention of the customer focuses towards the MR, we recommend the following tactics. Provocative questions Amazing statements Trivia challenges Curiosities of medicine
51
Provocative questions
To make the brain of the customer instinctively look for an answer. However is has to be done in a way in which the customer does not feel threaten. “Doctor, patients normally think that multinational produced inject able antibiotics are expensive. I am here to show you that the opposite is true.”
52
Amazing Statements This statement aims to provoke curiosity or amusement. Something like a “believe it or not” kind of sensation. “It is incredible that for more than 80 years we only knew half of the truth about Diabetes. The other half of the story has just recently been discovered, and it is only now that we found a way to treat it.”
53
Trivia Challenges Everybody loves trivia challenges, especially when they are ingenious and offers a bit of entertainment. “Doctor, what do you think is the name of Medixon horse?”
54
Curiosities of Medicine
Using anecdotes in the history of medicine related to the diseases or therapeutic approaches is a good way to catch the attention of the MDs. “There is evidence that in the ancient Peruvian civilization, patients underwent brain surgery and survived. It is believed that these patients were schizophrenic and the “Shamans” opened holes in the skull for taking out the bad spirits from their heads.”

TO PRESCRIBE OUR PRODUCTS
DEXA MD CALL MISSION TO GIVE OUR DOCTORS REASONS TO PRESCRIBE OUR PRODUCTS
61
Mission of a Dexa MD Call: GIVE MD REASON TO PRESCRIBBE THE PRODUCT
Presentation Presentation is the skill of ZEROING in on the customers identified needs / wants with appropriate product features and benefits. The result is that the customer feels they “must prescribe” your product.
62
Features Features are attributes or inherent characteristics of a product which you can feel, see or measure. Features are meaningless unless translated to benefits for the customer Example: Small tablet Once a day dosing Available in 5 forms
63
Benefits Feature translates into a benefit. A single feature may have multiple benefits. Benefits are advantages that meet the explicit needs and wants of a customer A products features don’t vary but the benefits must be tailored to the need of the individual doctor PEOPLE DON’T BUY PRODUCTS OR FEATURES, THEY BUY BENEFITS
64
Linking Feature and Benefits
Each feature is “LINKED” to each corresponding benefit in a single sentence To link a feature to its benefits use “LINK PHRASES” such as Which means So your patients can This would result in FEATURES LINK PHRASES BENEFITS
65
Features and Benefits EXERCISE
By pair One will write 5 features of your current product and the partner will convert it to benefits using F + LP = B Then reverse. 20 minutes
66
During Presentation Sit up right and in front of the MD
Look confident and speak with enthusiasm Hold the detail aid in front and use a PEN to focus doctors attention Don’t look at the detail aid, look at the MD to observe his/her reaction If interrupted do a brief recap Don’t be distracted by the surrounding
67
To Improve Retention PAULIT-ULIT, PAULIT-ULIT, PAULIT-ULIT (both visual and oral) People remember more from what they see than what they hear (HONEYWELL study: visual retention is 65%, hearing retention is 35% after 3 days) Smart sales rep keep using the same messages with slight variations
68
Selling Emotions Features appeal to logic, benefits appeal to emotion
People buy emotionally then justify it with logic Doctors seldom buy logically Many of us try to sell our products logically To create the emotional desire – sell the benefits, not just the features
69
Emotion Words Words that have a strong emotional connotations which are very influential when selling Use of these decisive words helps to create positive emotions in the MDs minds and increase their curiosity Improve Increase Reduce Proven Help you Your patients
70
Fear Words Words or phrases which have a negative connotation and should be avoided These are referred to as “fear words” Death Toxicity Unsafe Disability
71
This is my baby brother, his name is Enzo.
72
Selling Tools Helps to enhance customers attention/interest

73
Effective Use of Visuals
Know the lay out and contents Practice with it Keep visuals neat and clean Show what you say Use visuals to answer questions Illustrate one point at a time Draw attention to key points using a pointer Show the visual only when needed
74
Sales Materials Don’t Sell Anything
Sales people makes the sales happen, sales material can only offer support You are the star not the material Don’t compete with your sales tool Don’t hand over the material until your done with the call Don’t talk while they are reading

Probing Skill of asking question that helps us guide the doctor into revealing their needs that your product can satisfy We can satisfy these needs with our products key messages Used for getting insights and information Use probing judiciously Plan and structure your first few questions
77
Probing Sequence Start with open probes to uncover areas of interest that your product can address Ask more open probes or choice probes to isolate / narrow the areas where your product has an edge Ask close probes to pin point EXACT need you can address
78
Types of Probes Open Close Choice Feature=Benefit Close probe (FBC)
79
Open Probe Invites extended customer response
Helps to explore doctors needs/attitudes/concerns and prescribing habit WHAT, WHEN, why, WHERE, WHO, HOW AND HOW MUCH
80
Sample Open Probe Participants participate
81
Closed Probes Invites YES OR NO reply from the MDs
Should be designed preferably to obtain a YES. Starts with DO / WILL / IS / SHOULD Close probes may come across as rude or harsh to some sensitive persons; it is advised that “SOFT” words be used to reduce the negative impression Avoid asking a string of close probes Use it when the customer is not communicative It elicits quick and precise reply Compels a customer to a clear out decision as closing
82
Samples of Close Probes

87
Suggestions in Using FBCP
Practice this skill, it is the MOST POWERFUL probe. Do not use too many FBC in one sales call Do not use a string of FBC Use different FBC so that the MDs will not suspect your technique Do not wait too long for an answer after getting MDs response, move to your presentation
88
Accelerated Learning All participants Train game
All participants will give example of FBCP
89
Effective Listening The purpose of probing is to LISTEN for customer responses to uncover their needs/wants/expectation/problem/goals. Do not ask if your not ready to listen Very few people are good with listening
90
Principle of Effective Listening
Constantly analyze what is being said Listen for main points and supporting reasons Remove your bias Look ahead and see where the customer is going Look for non-verbal signs
91
Accelerated Learning to Know me is to ask me.
This a contest By pair One will probe and the other will give information 2 minutes each (reverse) Try to get as many information from your partner as possible

Handling Objections EXERCISE
Identify the type objection. Drozid is under dose, I need a 250mg/5ml preparation. Medixon seems ok. I prefer original products, your Cladex is just a copy cat. I use your 50mg Medixon once a day. Velodyne is an effective third generation anti biotic.
107
Handling Objections EXERCISE
Identify the type of objection I am not confident to use Trolip because you don’t have bioequivalence study vs. the originator brand. Medixon is a good long acting corticosteroid. I have a tie up with Unilab. I stopped using Cladex because it is expensive. I do not prescribe local products like yours.
