CASE STUDY: SALES CAPABILITY

THE PROBLEM

Eli Lilly is a leading American multinational pharmaceutical company that reached out to us for support in developing and empowering their UK based medical field sales team to maximise the results of the most critical medicine launch in their history, Mounjaro.


They wanted the team to be able to inspire and bring to life their key messages and technical data during meetings and presentations with various stakeholders.
The key outcome was effective customer education to drive revenue and market share.

THE SOLUTION

Working with the launch marketing stakeholders and senior L&D team, we created an experiential and practical learning programme that empowered the high-potential sales teams to:

  • take ownership of their performance,
  • effectively articulate and represent the medicine, and
  • control the impression that they give to their clients in every interaction.

This programme consisted of 2 LEARNING TOOLKITS and 2 TRANSFER STUDIO activities

THE TOOLKITS: Maximise my Presentation Impact and Bring Data to Life

Two 180-minute sessions equipped participants with simple, revelatory skills and behaviours to consistently project and embody professional excellence and communicate any message with more power, presence and authority. .

THE STUDIO: the Rehearsal Lab and Manager’s Performance Coaching

An exciting 180 minute “in person” session where participants are treated like actors and given strong “directive” coaching. Participants practise new behaviours, skills and/or techniques in a variety of challenging “deeper dive” practise exercises and received individual and group coaching and feedback to consolidate new skills and fine-tune their presentation impact in a safe, supportive environment.

It was recognised that the line managers played an important role in supporting the continuous and social learning in their teams and the wider organisation. We provided a coaching matrix to enable the managers to run their own “The Method” GLOW AND GROW appraisals, to support long term performance enhancement in their teams

Managers are then encouraged to ask participants what they learned, and where they are going to use The Method to enhance their performance and results. A follow up session a few weeks later analysed if things were actually done differently and review what was actually achieved.

BUSINESS RESULTS

Participants learnt how to

  • Radiate confidence and authority in all business interactions – before you even start speaking
  • Make people sit up, listen and take my message more seriously
  • Make any spoken message sound more interesting and inspiring
  • Project gravitas and calm in any business situation
  • Make a lasting, positive impact when communicating to all levels of seniority

The programme successfully supported the UK product launch by equipping participants to communicate key messages with confidence, impact and clarity, transforming complex product data into engaging stories. All participants reported improved meeting effectiveness and valued the learning. Managers were also trained to sustain and embed The Method, helping participants continue applying it successfully. Managers reported that this strengthened stakeholder engagement, brought technical data to life, and contributed directly to the success of the product launch

100% of the participants said they feel they can deliver the new, key sales messages with more confidence and impact.

99% of the participants feel they can relate and present product data as more meaningful customer benefits in a sales conversation.

99% of the participants feel they can confidently deliver new sales data as engaging and memorable patient “stories”.

Fantastic… The Method trainer was superb and really brought the morning and afternoon sessions to life in a safe environment but still managed to challenge everyone’s performance and then raise it! Excellent day and thank you.
