Identified six clinics had not implemented Bexsero vaccine into their protocols for adolescent well visits and patients were left unprotected. Through collaboration with my Public Account Manager we prioritized clinics with largest potential for growth, identified key physician leaders and managers, created a high call frequency plan with impactful objectives and actions and relaunched Bexsero, which resulted in 5 clinics implementing our vaccine, and increasing our market share to 83% in my territory and 70% in our region of Chicago.
The same plan was implemented in 3 other clinics where data analysis showed competitive growth from another Men B vaccine.
Focused and urgent implementation of our Strategic Plan resulted in all 3 of my clinics moving Bexsero to the 'preferred" status for all appropriate patients, thereby defending my market share in last three years.
