Issue

• To support a client in their launch/growth of a Cardiovascular product
• To develop a strategy to define the future re-launch of a 4th to market CV brand
• To recruit, train and manage a team of Territory Sales Managers (Primary and Secondary Care), across the UK to deliver exceptional sales results for newly launched product (initial build 2017)

Action

• Team developed a strategy with a commercial focus, and resourced to develop perfect implementation
• Initially identified 5 brands with the same characteristics as the brand we were working on
• Identified the drivers that were engaging with HCPs and drove sales, and then profiled each LHE to understand how reactive it was to promotion (P2P)
• Identified the organisations and key stakeholders within each LHE that influenced product uptake and how these customers could be engaged with
• Resources where then focused in the areas where the quickest uptake was likely and where the right customers were accessible
• As areas guidance and formularies were switched on, we then applied different resources according to the needs of each area
• Initial build of 5 representatives, all sourced / interviewed and assessed

Outcome

• Cardiology team increased from 5 to 76 heads due to sales impact
• Due to success this team grew to 33 heads in 2018, and 76 head in 2019
