AI-Driven Sales Force Optimization
Optimizing sales force efforts requires precise targeting and agile resource allocation. AI and analytics help focus sales activities where they matter most.
Challenges
Reps often visit HCPs based on outdated segmentation or intuition.
High-value HCPs may be under-engaged, while low-potential ones are over-targeted.
Pharma companies collect vast amounts of data (e.g., prescriptions, CRM logs, market access data), but struggle to extract actionable insights.
Rapid changes in regulations, competition, and HCP behavior require agile decision-making.
One-size-fits-all messaging fails to resonate with diverse HCP preferences and specialties.
Rising costs and shrinking margins demand smarter resource allocation and performance tracking.
