BD Pharmaceutical Training
Breathing life into communications in the medical space
BD Interventional specialises in breakthrough medical devices in the surgical and urology fields. With a distinct focus on the SEA market, their goal was to remain as a leading medical device choice in times of crisis for end-users such as doctors and nurses from both private and government hospitals.
Standing out in the highly-saturated medical devices market was a challenge for BD Interventional. Convincing medical device distributors, and internal and external stakeholders, demanded a consistent template that was properly articulated by all representatives from different departments across the organisation.

Leading the way for change with powerful visual stories
Challenges & Impact:
Managing today’s sales professional require a clear and goal-oriented approach. Accountable for the overall business performance, the leadership team regularly conducts performance review presentations with the sales teams (territory managers) & business managers.
Leaders need to ensure their teams adopt best practices with the end goal of achieving buy-ins from target audiences. The failure of that would result in lost business opportunities and low follow-through on key strategies amongst teams.
To obtain approval from top management on budgets and new initiatives, it’s also crucial for leadership teams to paint a persuasive picture for higher-ups, instead of lengthy and detailed presentations which reduce the appeal of ideas.

Strengthening market share & ensuring sustainable growth
Challenges & Impact:
Expanding into new markets is tougher than it looks. Business managers require a repeatable formula that guarantees success and sustainability during expansion across any market.
Aside from communicating attractive product features via their teams to reach customers, business managers also have to convince distributors across both public and private hospitals on why their products are more superior than competitors.
Negotiations with distributors can prove difficult – hence business managers need to be equipped with persuasive frameworks and strong delivery techniques to ensure consistent success each time.

Cutting through the noise by selling the big picture
Challenges & Impact:
The world of selling has changed – sales conversations are often interrupted and attention spans are shrinking. Territory managers have the responsibility of differentiating themselves strongly, especially when competitors pitch alongside.
Instead of a feature-oriented approach, it’s vital for territory managers to sell the outcome – forget differentiating based on prices, it’s all about selling the overall value to ensure a positive impact on the profit margins of the company.
Territory managers need to sustain the interest of doctors and nurses while building rapport quickly and authentically. To satisfy both the said and unsaid needs of customers, they need effective techniques that can be used across various groups of clients.

“Before this workshop, I struggled to ask the right questions to doctors/ nurses.
Now, I’ll actively use some of the thought provoking questions like illuminating & contrarian questions & observe the responses from customers to have better conversations with them.”

Key learnings from participants
Pique the audience’s curiosity

Put meaning behind the numbers
Hear the unsaid
“Most times the objections from the audience are surface level concerns. Investigate what the question truly mean in order to address it head on either through additional knowledge, emotional connection, and/or enabling audiences with resources or skills.”
