The Catalyst

Our Client is a leading medical provider in the musculoskeletal market based in the US. They arrived in the UK 10 years ago and had made decent inroads into the marketplace but sales began to plateau.

On undertaking a piece of insight work we identified 3 specific issues 
  • The way in which medical supplies in the UK was changing with a focus on decisions being led by procurement professionals not medical professionals who tended to make decisions differently.
  • A team that was stretched through needing to cover cases and operations which meant they had little time to sell
  • An inability to create impact with people outside their immediate sphere of influence.

“The training we did with Peoplehub really resonated with the team as it was delivered in a way that linked to their world. 2 years on my team are citing examples of how they are putting those techniques into practice to drive real world outcomes.”
