Evolving Go-to-Market & Commercial Models
Building New Commercial Capabilities
Biotech and pharma companies are launching more complex therapies, especially as it relates to oncology, rare disease, as well as cell and gene therapies. With therapeutic complexity increasing, companies are adapting their customer coverage models to meet changing customer needs. This adaptation is driven by a focus on a larger ecosystem including patients, payors, healthcare providers and healthcare systems. While the traditional sales representative is still critically important, only 20% of organizations solely rely on the traditional sales rep focused commercial model. In today’s world there are four distinct go-to-market (GTM) models. These models incorporate roles focused on reimbursement support, clinical education, patient education and case management are vitally important.
Alexander Group works with biotech leaders to establish sales strategies to support your go-to-market model with specific sales strategies that grow revenue and increase market presence.
