Core Work: Sales Excellence Program | Duration 4 Months

(Please note: For confidentiality reasons we don't mention client names in any of our case studies)

A breakthrough product in the obesity market

A Global Healthcare Company, prepared to launch a breakthrough product in the obesity market. A new product, in a new market. 

This led them to strengthen the capabilities of their Medical Representatives. 

The goal: Equip them with Key Account Management (KAM) skills to drive consultative selling in a complex healthcare ecosystem.

New product, new market

Launching a new product in a highly specialised and competitive market required more than standard sales training. They needed their teams to: 

  • Move from transactional to consultative conversations.

  • Build long-term relationships with key stakeholders.

  • Demonstrate confidence in positioning the product’s value amidst sensitive healthcare dynamics.

The ARC Way

This journey was a classic example of a minimum intervention, maximum impact initiative. 

The journey began with a book club/pre-workshop engagement. This acted as a primer to get the participants thinking like an expert. Operating from a space of knowledge. 

Followed by the KAM Excellence workshop, which included over 160 participants. The themes that were covered:

  • Prospecting and Fundamentals

  • Account Planning 

  • Long-term relationships

  • Result orientation

“Thanks for the impactful three days of learning, Adi. Personally, I would like to compliment you for the amazing work ARC is doing for us. I had a handful of learning experiences as a facilitator too. Convey our wishes and compliments to your entire team. All the best wishes to your entire crew and team ARC for scaling many more heights.”

Specifics that brought them closer to the goal

Key enablers of the shift included:

  • FABE model role plays to refine persuasive conversations.

  • Elevator pitch preparation for crisp, impactful messaging.

  • Scenario cards that helped participants practice real-world situations.

Very specific SMEs were chosen for this workshop; they had a lived experience in this field.
