Resource optimization (RO) answers key questions to allow for deployment of an optimal sales force. Which scenarios should we consider and which future events should we take into account? What is the optimal number of sales teams, including co-promotion? Which products in which detail position should we include per team? How can we best manage the change involved in sales force deployment? How does our structure impact our desired coverage and frequency targets? How should we structure the management of our sales force? How many reps should we have in our sales force?

IQVIA brings combined analytic and in-person expertise to your organization to ensure incentive planning includes appropriate representatives, acknowledges market complexity, and is designed to shift according to geography, product line and measurable feedback.

Case study: Quantifying competitive effect in the U.S.

The question: Did program engagement change prescribing behavior?

For a new treatment with many competitors, the maker came to IQVIA to understand how provider engagement with a promotional program translated to a change in prescribing behavior.

The answer: Showing a gain in share vs. a key competitor.

IQVIA measured prescriptions written by program participant vs. comparable non-program participants. This documented the gain produced by the program -- and pinpointed a specific competitor whose prescriptions declined among promotional participants.
