IT reps are communicating now more than ever, but
struggling to be relevant
Most clients are interacting with IT reps more than before COVID-19,
however they want IT solutions to have a better understanding of their
needs and expectations now and after the crisis.

57% of IT clients said IT
companies are failing to
understand the real impact
of COVID-19 on them.
Now is the time for IT solutions to reinvent its relevance
Express empathy
Recognize the
unprecedented human
impact today and tomorrow.
Understand implications of
delayed solutions, cost and
business challenges.
Expand support
services
Give practical support to
deliver Close Client Care.
Provide instructions for
work from home and
details about solution
Rethink messages
Create messages
that drive more impact i.e,
the ease of administration
and the ability to maintain
adherence without visiting
a physical facility.
Create partnerships
Build relationships
with digital IT innovators to
deliver new solutions that
enable the service provider
to continue to support
clients.
LONG-TERM (AFTER 5 YEARS) STRATEGIES TO PROVIDE OFFERINGS/SERVICES TO THE STAKEHOLDERS
There is a need to develop an omni-channel strategy by making
use of different media channels. This will involve
-Identifying the preferred channels of individual clients and their
usage patterns (e.g. frequency, time, duration)
-Selecting the channels (face to face or virtual, digital or non-
digital) to be combined, according to the message to convey,
partnership to propose and service to offer and adapting the
message and the content according to the channel specificities
Create Service-led Interactions with HCPs
Craft a Commercial Omnichannel Strategy
The interactions with IT professionals need to be
formalized by making them be perceived as a
service. These interactions can include calls, virtual
meetings etc.
This will lead to a better understanding and
memorization of the content and a formal structure
increases the chances of convincing clients and
increasing the preference of the company’s
products by them.
Develop a Human-focused Reputation
During the pandemic, IT companies have
been held in the highest regards due to the
efforts in the fight against the virus and
providing a solution. This image needs to
be maintained post the pandemic and the
company needs to be seen as an
organisation that is human centric and
focuses on the benefit of people.
The problem for the long term is the fact
that trust between the IT corporates and
B2B client companies needs to be
maintained as currently there is a
perception amongst clients that the
companies are failing to see the impact of
the pandemic on them
Additionally in the long run, the image of
the company amongst the customers needs
to be maintained as customers are
becoming more aware and information is
easily accessible to them.
IT enterprises of the future will have the ability to transform the current models to ones that
are more digitally resilient. Smart use of disruptive technologies like AI, IoT and cloud will
transform the ways information service organizations deliver value to customers. As digital
services becomes widely applicable, IT organization will be able to virtualize large portions
of service activities through a mix of available technologies like IoT, wearable sensors,
social media, mHealth, etc.

SHORT-TERM STRATEGIES TO LEVERAGE THE CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
• In a February 2020 McKinsey consumer survey, 48 percent of respondents 50 years of age and older said they would be likely to seek
virtual channels of care in addition to or in place of physical visits.
• Lets divide the overall strategy into 3 sub-groups of the following:
• OPERATIONAL STRATEGY
• FINANCIAL STRATEGY
• INVESTMENT STRATEGY
1. OPERATIONAL STRATEGY
• International patients form a bulk of base in top tier hospitals in the ratio of 5:1 as compared to domestic patients. Hence, we should
focus on promotion of international patient medical travel to start the inflow of international patients.
• New admission has decreased by 90% and in-patient number by 64% as per the BCG survey. Hence, the focus should be on
increasing the bed occupancy in private hospitals.
• Stocking of inventory should be avoided and JUST IN TIME model should be adopted to optimize inventory levels.
• Margins on drugs to be increased to offset the high cost of surgeries.
• Engaging with prescribers through integrated consultation platforms.
• Sales team has to redesign the call structure to leverage relationship maintenance.
• Social Media Marketing:
• According to BCG survey of 200 physicians, 84% moved to telecommunications. 61% prescribers found digital
engagements effective.
• Curated webinars and email marketing.
• Awarding online certifications from reputed organizations for credibility confidence building.
• differentiated content and delivery compared to in-person detailing
• Scientific content interspersed with brand details can increase engagement.
• lead roles across E-SFE and digital marketing will need to be created.
• Training of field force on effective communication through digital channels will ensure consistent delivery and messaging

• enabling patient services for existing patients
• therapy shaping initiatives for new patients. prioritize diseases that have a low
diagnosis rate.
• A separate marketing team may be established for this purpose.
• For tail doctors (10-15% of coverage): - Relook at division structure to merge
doctors , Move select doctors to e-detailing
• promote efficiency through models like tele-ICU and change-capacity use through
“hospital at home” (HaH) models.
2. INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
• Firms can consider establishing a team of medical liaisons to coordinate
with partners and strengthen relationships with KOLs.
• Investments will need to be made in data and analytics, with initiatives
towards data security and data management to protect privacy
• Partnerships with epharmacies, emerging channels and platforms
• virtual specialist visits and tele-ICU coverage in partnership with local rural
health systems
• institutional investment in lower-cost, alternative settings of care (for
example, ambulatory surgery centers)
3. FINANCING ACTIVITIES:
• Government financing through initiatives like:
• Emergency resistance loan for 10 years at 0% interest.
• Tax waivers
• Clearing pending dues government schemes like ESI,CGHS.
• Initial public offerings to generate cash flows
•Existing customers who shifted from subscription to transaction only
•Lost customers who went to competitors, substituted services
