Veeva Systems (NYSE: VEEV) today released the latest findings from its Veeva Pulse Field Trends Report, the largest analysis of global healthcare professional (HCP) engagement across the biopharma industry. Data show that leveraging digital content during in-person and video meetings more than doubles the promotional response over those that do not use digital content.
Using digital content in HCP meetings has a significant, measurable impact. Veeva Pulse insights show successful field teams share content four times more than companies that don’t, creating a clear advantage. Yet, more than 60% of field engagements across the industry don’t use digital content, missing an opportunity to make the most of limited and timely exchanges with HCPs.
Veeva Pulse analysis shows digital content used during meetings is a key lever to increase field effectiveness and drive more impactful conversations:
Digital content boosts promotional response. U.S. data show a global trend that digital content used during video and in-person meetings more than doubles the promotional response over meetings that don’t share content.
● Successful teams use content four times more. Field reps that use digital content the most outpace four times others who don’t frequently leverage it. Field teams have room for growth, currently sharing digital content in just 39% of meetings, despite its proven effectiveness.
● High-impact content drives HCP engagement. In the last year, biopharmas created 20% more content. Yet, of all the content created, 77% is rarely or never used. This indicates a need for companies to focus their content strategy on developing fewer assets that are proven effective in advancing relevant engagements with HCPs.
“We continue to see the impact digital content has in driving better sales outcomes and building more personalized, connected HCP experiences, whether in-person or virtual,” said Aaron Bean, vice president of Veeva business consulting, Europe. “Companies who use their engagements as a chance to inform HCPs with high-impact content will gain an advantage and create new opportunities for follow-up conversations.”
