We can help to radically improve the way you work with KOLs and physician influencers in clinical development, medical education & commercial impact by replacing outmoded, slow and expensive processes for mapping KOLs and influencers.
Prioritizing Physician Relationships Has Never Been More Important
- In the face of global competition & a volatile regulatory climate, the stakes are high
- Sales teams continue to face barriers to access with physicians
- Support for Medical Education, Sales, Marketing and Communications are converging
- The pace of change in the marketplace is increasing, with no sign of slowing down
- Today’s businesses are more data-centric than ever
- The internet is a source of authority and influence as it’s never been before
- It is critical to partner with the right physicians – for
- Clinical Development;
- Medical Education (Medical Affairs); and/or
- Commercial Impact (Sales, Marketing & Communications)
Traditional KOL Identification and Mapping Misses the Mark
- Over-reliance on bias-laden survey processes
- Over-reliance on highly subjective desk research
- An intensive focus on what a KOL does as opposed to the relevance, size and quality of their network of influence
- Fails to account for increasingly pervasive online influence
- Structured around expensive, time-consuming manual processes
