Preparation for an omnichannel future is as important as the destination

    Omnichannel is not new! The customer experience ‘nirvana’ has changed shape over time. But what’s important to get there? Do organizations define their goals and have the tools to go further when they reach their omnichannel goals?

    Some dimensions to think about:

    shutterstock_243926008-1
    • Is the current ‘customer-experience-state’ good? What should be the future state?
    • Do we have the data to make the decisions? How much is enough?
    • Already have a ‘multi-channel strategy’, is it the same as omnichannel? What’s the difference?
    • How will ‘sales reps’ be integrated into an omnichannel?
    • Is software and technology needed to get up to speed or to imbibe an edge?
    • What existing systems and processes can be reimagined or repurposed?
    • What’s the opportunity cost, is it worth it?

    Not just ‘office,’ Axtria’s omnichannel expertise includes re-imagining sales rep roles

    As pharma reps’ roles evolve, one pattern is evident: the traditional reach and frequency-based approaches are no longer adequate for pharma selling.

    • The commercial model is increasingly complex, with more roles requiring greater coordination
    • The industry is focusing more on customer experiences. Reps need to be master orchestrators in providing the right message to the right customer using the right channel at the right time.
    • Working in silos is not enough. Instead, organizations must reevaluate their end-to-end field operations processes to enable the field force to work in these new ways.

    Data-driven transformation rather than trend and hype.

    Move focus from siloed impact with:
    • NBA
    • Triggers
    • MCCP
    • Customer 360
    To building cross-functional infrastructure:
    • Optimal data for rank and file
    • Integrated systems across functions
    • Seamless flow and consumption of insights
    • Automation and AI to ease execution

    How we approach the omnichannel future ‘challenge’

    Mindset & strategy

    To effectively understand your customer experience needs a considerable effort needs to get the organization rolling on the path to the omni-future state!

    It begins with acknowledging the current and preparing for the future

    Stakeholder

    Organizations need to know the extent of all stakeholders’ influence on their business. How their (seen and perceived) interactions can impact the business.

    Payers, Providers, Policymakers, and Patients form an important part of the ecosystem!

    Software & tools

    Software and technology are enablers and accelerators to change.

    From complex interactions between stakeholders to implementation of strategy through the organization – technology can be a winner!

    Change management

    Hand-offs don’t need to be difficult. Transparency, inclusion, and impact are a part of future-readiness.

    With a little effort, people, processes, systems, and mindsets can be enabled for next-level objectives

    People

    Omnichannel includes peoples from every aspect of thinking and delivery. A seamless handoff between future roles of people in the omnichannel reality is determined by strong leadership of rank and file.

    Making change last!
