Stakeholder experience is the strongest predictorof behavior

• Trends:

– Introduction of customer-centric service models

– Moving sales team from product selling focus to coordinating value-add experiences

– Addressing the business needs of customers for mutual benefit

• Issues:

– Continued use of traditional sales force effectiveness, general physician satisfaction metrics

– Typical studies do not identify specific experiences, frequency of experiences , how to create value added services from the customer’s perspective.

• The Verde Group has developed 3 key premises around Pharma Stakeholder research that identify the attributes that make customers satisfied and loyal, but more importantly the experiences that create dissatisfaction and possible defection from the brand.

Dissatisfaction is not the Opposite of Satisfaction

As a driver of loyalty, dissatisfaction represents a dimension of customer affect distinct from satisfaction.

Dissatisfaction is a very powerful predictor of a customer’s future behavior.

Drivers of satisfactionand loyalty

• Consultative Selling• Business Acumen• Creating Mutual

Benefit

Drivers of dissatisfactionand defection

• No coordination of resources

• Reimbursement Issues• Educational Materials

Experiences Drive Loyalty

The customer relationship is built with the experiences that customers have with a provider. These experiences lead to the formulation of attitudes and the attitudes drive customer behaviors (loyalty or defection.) The assessment must mirror the customer relationship process.

Satisfaction is an attitude associated with loyalty

Most customer loyalty research focuses on attitudinal measures. However attitudes are not actionable.

What drives loyalty, brand equity and customer value is the Customer Experience

Customer Loyalty Evolves Over Time

• Customer defection is a process of disengagement and not an event

• A customer’s dissatisfaction thresholds are established in part by the attractiveness of competitive alternatives

R@R Applications to common Business ObjectivesPhysician/Customer Perception and Satisfaction

The business objectives we solve for in these types of projects include how experiences drive attitudes and, more importantly, market behavior. The specific research objectives include:

• Which Physician/customer experiences (products, services and interactions) generate the highest levels of Physician/customer satisfaction and loyalty?

• What are the drivers of dissatisfaction and key experiences that may be putting Physicians/customers at risk?

• What actions can the company take to improve the overall experience and therefore, continue to achieve positive economic impact?

Competitive Market Analysis

The specific objectives to be accomplished with this research include developing an in-depth understanding and insight into the following:

• Which companies are considered Best-in-Class in terms of their ability to generate the highest customer satisfaction and loyalty, e.g., willingness to defend, share by word of mouth, brand preference, and willing to pay a price premium?

• How does the company’s performance compare to key competitors on these key customer experiences?

• What are the key sales rep competencies that are creating value-added experiences that meet Physician’s growing needs for information and support?

Page 16: Verde Group

R@R Applications to common Business ObjectivesNew Product Launch

We conduct these projects ahead of launch, to help our clients gain an understanding of their target physicians' viewpoint on services and initiatives from competitors to enable them to differentiate beyond the product and create loyalty as quickly out of the gate as possible.

ATU Research

Verde’s R@R approach provides much more in-depth insight into the experiences that shape attitudes and usage, and our approach isolates the effect of the brand loyalty from actual customer satisfaction to enable a company to fully understand the separate experiences and perceptions that drive attitude, usage and brand loyalty.

Monitoring Patient Compliance

Verde also conducts research with patients, mainly to track compliance. The goals of this research are to identify and understand the types of patients likely to be non-compliant. Our research includes the identification of issues with patient education materials, lack of understanding of medication regimens, possible literacy challenges, adverse side effects, impact of physician office visits. We use our R@R methodology to identify the specific issues associated with usage, frequency of problems and the most significant ones impacting compliance.

R@R Pharma Case StudiesEXPERIENCEEXPERIENCE

Leading Biologic Company – Quest for Non-traditional Physician-Sales Rep Insights

Background: Company had a unique blockbuster drug – crossing multiple therapeutic uses. With a strong late stage pipeline, it had an opportunity to create a strong franchise in the disease states it managed. Yet with increasing competitive pressures, company recognized the need to fully explore and understand the relationship it had with its key customers. Traditional research studies focused on the Physician-sales representative relationship. Given new market dynamics, this wasn’t enough. Company felt it was important to move beyond the physician and explore other constituents that influence brand and company perceptions.

Objectives: Identify key drivers of dissatisfaction versus those of satisfaction and loyalty for each customer touch-point including:

• What is the relative importance of each touch-point in maintaining current relationships and growing new ones?

• Which specific touch-point issues are impacting customer loyalty behaviors and associated outcomes – word of mouth, script writing, and retention – for company and for competitors?

• How prevalent and important are these issues within each customer group? How do the issues differ by customer group?

• How do experiences with company compare to other major biotech firms in this space?

Insights gained and actions taken: • Develop and empower a single point of contact to own the customer issue from “cradle to grave” • Proactively explain roles and responsibilities of customer-facing/resourcing• Simplify and streamline the patient access process • Train and reward for “customer centricity” • Training around customer interactions

R@R Pharma Case StudiesMedical Device/Automation Company: Requirement to “change the game” in the hospital lab automation space Background: Company is a global leader in the area of pre-transfusion diagnostics. The company has set itself as the industry benchmark for delivering innovative, value-added products. Their success has been attributed to its unwavering focus and execution around several key principles including: excellent reputation among stakeholders and investment in quality improvement and customer satisfaction. But competition is fierce. In order to maintain and build customer intimacy, company needed a comprehensive customer and employee measurement system that assess and projects how experiences drive attitudes and physician behaviors.

Objectives: • What are the critical “moments of truth” for customers; the interactions that are most important for

driving satisfaction and creating loyalty?• What specific problem experiences occur across the sales and service cycle that damage Company

customer satisfaction and loyalty? How often do they occur? • What is the financial impact of these problems in terms of reorders, product penetration, share of

wallet and customer retention? Which are most damaging for Company, and which represent the biggest opportunity for improvement?

• How do problem experience, frequency and impact vary by customer position: Technician, Lab Manager or Director? What are the differences in satisfaction and loyalty to Company between each of these customer types and across Hospitals versus other types of customer sites?

• Insights gained and actions takenEncourage Customers to Contact about Problems. Improve Problem Resolution. Provide Additional Training to Employees. Correct Product Quality Problems. Communicate Departmental Roles and Responsibilities to Employees.

R@R Pharma Case StudiesLeading Pharmaceutical Company – Losing Market Access in Key Regions

Background: Ongoing cost pressures in managed care have resulted in the growing influence of the IDN. Company had a need to better understand who these constituents are and, more importantly, their role and

influence in the network (particularly non-prescribing constituents). Additionally, the needed to understand how other parties, outside the IDN, influence and affect other parts of the network. With this information, the company can then develop a more focused strategy aimed at accessing these stakeholders with relevance and value.

Objectives: • Who the key influencers/decision makers are across/outside the system and how decisions made

within/outside the system affect other parts of the system. • What IDNs need/what are their challenges/what is most important to them in order to understand how a

pharmaceutical or non-pharmaceutical partner may bring additional value? • The IDN’s perspective around what they believe is an effective relationship and why they think it was

successful, with specific examples.• Future trends and how this differs by IDN, specifically knowledge of current business model and how their

business model is evolving over time. What is making them evolve/change?

Insights gained and actions takenEstablishment of focused IDN strategy and go-to-market organizational structure that supported third party

solutions for value-driven outcomes and improved access in difficult markets.
