Increasing HCP Engagement with Marketing Automation

marketing automation

The HCP engagement landscape is changing. What used to be an industry dominated by sales reps is growing increasingly direct, bringing healthcare professionals in direct contact with the companies that might better serve them. According to one survey, 50% of HCPs could even “imagine a world without a sales rep.”

What does that mean for the future of pharmaceuticals? It means you have to be ready to engage HCP on their own level. It also means that you have to have the digital infrastructure necessary to automate these processes to allow for engagement without reps as the go-between. If you’re going to compete, you’re going to need to incorporate marketing automation processes in your own outreach efforts. As Seismic notes, “60 percent of companies with over $500M revenue have adopted a MAP”—or a Marketing Automation Platform.

The only question that remains: how?

Marketing automation software is where the industry is heading. But let’s get specific about what marketing automation means in the health care and pharmaceutical industries, and how you might leverage your own marketing automation efforts to increase HCP engagement. Doing so may yield the results of a motivated team of sales reps—without the expense of one. Here’s how.

Strategy #1: Email Automation Might Promise the Highest ROI

Perhaps the best place to invest your automation focus is in the realm of email marketing, which traditionally pays out one of the highest ROIs in modern digital strategy. According to HubSpot, email marketing can pay out as much as $38 for every $1 spent—and a chief reason that an estimated $350 million was spent on email marketing in the U.S. alone in 2019.

That works from a generic, all-things-marketing standpoint. But is email marketing automation suited for HCP engagement? The “Medical, Dental, and Healthcare” industry typically returns open rates of over 20%, according to MailChimp, which means your HCP engagement is not exempt from good email automation tactics. Let’s look at some great ways to integrate email into your marketing automation efforts:

  • Use automation to optimize your email timing. According to Advertising.LWW.com, “when you send the email is just as important as what you’re saying in the message.” They recommend investing in email software that lets you view these analytics and automate your email marketing to send at the times with the highest open rates for your HCP targets.
  • Make full use of the full suite of email automation strategies. 50% of survey respondents now use A/B testing in their email automation software, while 48% employ some form of marketing automation. Over one-third also use personalized content marketing through the use of email marketing. What does this mean for you? Installing the email marketing infrastructure that makes automation possible will help you access HCPs with more personalization and more effectiveness than many other methods.

Strategy #2: Investing in Content that Naturally Leads to More HCP Engagement

Healthcare professionals are like any other group—they’re going to gravitate towards one type of content over another. Your job in marketing automation is to create content that they’ll naturally gravitate to—and then proceed to create and promote that style of content in your marketing automation efforts.

Let’s take a look at the stats and find out what HCPs are currently looking for:

  • According to PharmaPhorum, HCPs naturally gravitate towards educational tools: “a total of 88 percent of HCPs reported accessing diagnostic tools at least once per month and 66 percent reported needing better access. However, 31 percent of pharma respondents reported not providing them.”
  • Incorporate mobile-friendly services. The majority of HCP use multiple devices every day, with 69 percent using a mobile phone that often. The majority also used a tablet every day. You should also note that marketers looking at the numbers have noted a 133% increase in mobile device usage when HCPs are conducting pharmaceutical research. Is your HCP outreach platform ready to accommodate that kind of research?

If you aren’t investing in the sort of content that engages HCPs most often, then you can’t expect to attract them as leads. But if you build a platform specifically with the HCPs and their issues in mind, you’ll be able to create a sustainable outreach program that engages them and nurtures them as leads for long-term success.

Strategy #3: Optimize Your Marketing Automation Channels to Suit HCP Preferences

It’s not just the content that requires catering to the HCP market. It’s the medium through which you communicate that content.

  • Avoid information overwhelm. One McKinsey survey in 2014 found that pharmaceutical companies would “launch 400 new products over the following three years,” representing an increase of 146% over a similar period in 2005. The result? HCPs will increasingly be overwhelmed by marketing information, new products, and an onslaught of pharmaceutical companies competing for attention. Your goal should be to avoid this information overwhelm. More on that in the next points.
  • Go digital. One of the advantages of using marketing automation is that it allows you to scale your digital outreach. And make no mistake—this is more important than ever. As AffinityMonitorTM notes, “More than half (53%) of marketing outreach to physicians now takes place through ‘non-personal’ promotion, such as email and mobile alerts, as well as direct mail and speaker programs.” Although that includes direct mail and speaker programs, you’ll also note how email and mobile alerts are becoming more prominent.
  • Rich content. HCPs conducting research will always want rich, detailed, powerful content. They want to be sure that they have the information necessary to make highly educated decisions. If you don’t deliver that to them, no amount of marketing automation is going to overcome what they see as a lack of information. As HealthCasts notes, “Rich, robust content will position your brand as a credible resource.”

You shouldn’t invest in marketing automation channels without some working knowledge of how HCPs would like to engage with you. They have their own preferences. They have their own habits. And if you aren’t meeting them at eye-level, you can only expect that you won’t have the engagement rates you could otherwise inspire.

Strategy #4: Use Marketing Automation to Eliminate the Flaws in Your HCP Outreach

No strategy is perfect. Your own HCP outreach may be optimized to suit your audience, but there are still going to be blind spots. Marketing automation can help smooth over some of these flaws and incorporate new practices that make things smoother from the HCP’s point of view, which increases the likelihood that they’ll want to work with you.

Let’s look at some of the automation processes that can be used to eliminate the following problems with HCP outreach:

  • Scheduling problems. “Gaining in-person access to physicians is becoming increasingly difficult because of a shortage of HCPs in the U.S., an increasingly competitive market, and a rise in bureaucratic processes that limit the number of hospital buyers,” notes SalesForce Pardot. Marketing automation can allow you to create a “lead nurturing” program that keeps HCPs engaged without feeling like they’re being ignored when there’s a scheduling problem. Today’s users expect updates on their latest scheduling quirks. If you don’t provide that for them with your marketing automation, you may lose out HCP engagement to those platforms that do.
  • Retargeting. The traditional “sales rep” model can lead to some blind spots. If a sales rep feels that an HCP is a “dead lead”—i.e., a lead that is no longer interested in what the sales rep has to say, then the sales rep is no longer inclined to engage with that HCP. But what if not all of these dead leads were dead leads? Marketing automation with tracking and follow-ups on “dead leads” prevents these HCPs from slipping through the cracks. You never know why an HCP lead might not fail to follow up, but with the right automation software, you don’t have to wonder. You can let the platform do it.
  • Lead prioritization. Let’s say your marketing team does have plenty of HCP leads coming into the system. What happens when your system is overwhelmed? If you fail to prioritize leads, you may not be able to capitalize on those HCPs who are most engaged. Marketing automation can help with lead prioritization so that the pharmaceutical sales team is able to follow up on the warmest of leads—those leads that are furthest along in the automated marketing pipeline.

With the proper strategies in place, you’ll lose far less business, increasing your overall engagement. After all, you work hard to reach out to new HCPs. You want to be sure that your campaigns are optimized for their engagement. When you lose out on potential leads because of an inefficient system, it’s like throwing that money away. It’s better to invest in a sophisticated marketing automation system that will reduce this waste.

Strategy #5: Align HCP Engagement Goals with the Proper Platform

None of this matters if you don’t have the proper platform to make it possible. HCP engagement will only be a vague idea—even if you have the numbers above—until you’re ready to carry out marketing automation on your own behalf. The only question is: how do you get started?

Enter the Pulse Engagement Cloud. Pulse Engagement Cloud is an all-in-one, customizable communications and engagement platform built specifically for the life science industry. And the results that we’ve seen help bear that out:

  • 69.12% increase in email open rates.
  • 10.14% increase in high-value HCPs
  • 234.19% in click-to-open rates
  • 27.71% decrease in unsubscribe rates

In our strategies above, you’ll notice that those marketing automation campaigns that seek to engage HCPs on their level—creating the content that HCPs want, delivering in the media that HCPs actually consume—will have the most success. Imagine having an HCP engagement program based on a platform that is built specifically with the life science industry in mind.

Marketing automation is more than just an interesting buzz phrase. It’s the way of the future when it comes to increasing HCP engagement. And you’re either investing in marketing automation to engage HCPs on their level—or you’re going to lose out to those companies who are.

Why We Changed Our Name from InTouchMD to Pulse Health

we are pulse health

Every company needs a banner to fly. But what happens if you get the banner wrong on the first try?

We learned. In a major way.

We launched InTouchMD in 2014. The intention was simple: build a single-source multi-channel contact center.

My family has been in the contact center space for over 30 years, so the name seemed obvious: if we could create a healthcare division that acted as a single destination for pharmaceutical companies to engage with physicians on multiple channels, it would be a slam dunk.

We named it InTouchMD.

The name was another slam dunk. It described our services, our mission, and our target market.

Except for one little problem.

The “slam dunk” didn’t work.

2014 came and went with lackluster business. Ditto for 2015.

And that’s when we started asking questions: what was missing? What were the user frustrations? What did pharmaceutical companies and the agencies representing them wish InTouchMD would be, and how could we provide that?

So we asked them.

The answers changed our entire perception on what a good “banner” really was.

The first thing we learned will come as no surprise: the pharmaceutical space is 10 years behind everybody else. That’s for good reason – pharmaceutical products are not widgets. They can represent life and death to the user.

The problem was that this means that pharmaceutical companies often lag. It won’t come as a surprise to learn that pharmaceutical companies were 10 years behind everybody else on marketing automation, CRM, email marketing, SaaS, the cloud, segmentation, and real-time reporting.

Sure, these technologies were working for everyone else. Just not pharma.

We further learned in our conversations that the industry was plagued with profound inefficiencies. There were very few (if any) industry-agnostic technology companies empowering the pharmaceutical space (whether it’s emerging biotech or established pharma) to better reach, engage, and understand their target – HCP.

It’s an industry riddled with disparate data sources, lag in reporting, expensive technologies with no support.

And then 2015/2016 came.

We realized that while we launched InTouchMD with good intentions, we needed to change the entire business model.

Taking every resource we could toward executing the next iteration of InTouchMD, we launched the first product of InTouchMD:

Pulse Engagement Cloud.

It was a cloud-based platform that allowed the pharmaceutical client to:

  • Email, call, text, and serve banners to the individual HCPs
  • Leverage those learnings to know…
    • …what content the HCP was interested in
    • …what the HCP’s consumption habits were (from a time or device perspective)
  • Run advanced segmentation which identified likeminded HCPs
  • Create detailed campaigns/journeys
  • Have a centralized database of all their HCPs
  • Custom reports that provided real-time intelligence and access
  • Connect with other technologies through APIs

In other words, Pule Engagement Cloud would be the go-to centralized engagement and intelligence system for a pharmaceutical company—whether you have one brand heading towards commercialization or hundreds of brands already there.

We found the slam dunk we were looking for. InTouchMD suddenly found its footing.

One subscriber came in. Then two. Then three. And the rest, as they say, is history.

Beyond the technology, we decided early on to make customer support a key pillar of InTouchMD. It worked.

We didn’t clock our hours. We did what the client needed. Truth be told, one of our core values is ‘Get it done.’ Our clients weren’t used to that level of support, and it was all for a price tag that made sense.

As InTouchMD grew, we launched new and exciting products.

  • Pulse Data Access
    • Unprecedented access to procure HCP (over a million records) and Patient data (over 30 million records), and enhance or clean their current in-house list
  • Pulse Insights
    • A unique view of all the learnings of Pulse Engagement Cloud through a visually stimulating, comprehensive presentation focused on actional analytics
  • Pulse Sample Management
    • An innovative approach to the antiquated world of sample distribution (pharmaceutical companies sending samples to HCPs) by providing efficiencies acting as a centralized HCP database. Meanwhile, we connected the brand and the vendors, and operated as the HCP communication/management platform
  • Pulse Engagement Cloud (Patient Version)
    • A technology that is built on the same infrastructure as the HCP version, but with significantly enhanced privacy standards, acting as the central platform for any and all patient (or caregiver) communication/data happening with the brand

As we kept launching new products, it grew harder to differentiate the name InTouchMD from the products that we were offering.

We took a hard look at industry-leading technology companies, and across the board, their name matched their product.

We decided to not reinvent the wheel, either.

On September 25th, 2019, we made a bold decision.

InTouchMD became Pulse Health.

We wanted to embrace our products and services.

Go all-in on the name Pulse and everything it represents. Finally, a banner to match the service.

Five months later, we couldn’t be happier with that decision. It was the slam dunk we always sought.

I am thankful for what InTouchMD has done for the company – without it, we wouldn’t have been able to find Pulse Engagement Cloud and a portfolio of important products that the pharmaceutical industry needs.

Pulse Health is here.

And it’s here to stay.

Under this new banner, we’re committed to being the technology company that this industry has needed for so long.

HH&Y Will Begin Leveraging Pulse Health’s Suite of Technology Products Next Month

NEW YORK, Aug. 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Havas Health & You (HH&Y), the health and wellness marketing network focused on promoting healthy living decisions across the entire health ecosystem, today announced its strategic partnership with healthcare solutions company Pulse Health.

Beginning Sept. 1, HH&Y will use Pulse Health’s technology platforms, which focus on developing marketing campaigns that reach out to healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients when they are available, via the channel they prefer, with content that is of interest to them.

Headquartered in Garden City, New York, Pulse Health has transformed into one of the fastest-growing healthcare technology companies in the country, thanks in part to the success of its technology platforms. 

“The thesis of Pulse Health is built around the hard-to-reach HCPs,” said Ryan Alovis, chief executive officer and founder of Pulse Health. “On average, a healthcare location receives 2,900 messages on a daily basis. Most fall flat because marketers are not speaking to their targets how they want to be spoken to. Approximately 80 percent of an HCP’s marketing journey is now self-directed, with 87 percent of the market yearning for a meaningful relationship with a brand. By utilizing our technology platforms, Havas Health & You will be able to help its healthcare company clients create real bonds with HCPs and patients.”

HH&Y’s initial partnership with Pulse Health will focus on the North American market with plans of expanding overseas.

“This partnership is important to Havas Health & You and our clients because Pulse Health’s suite of healthcare-focused marketing solutions will allow us to better serve our clients,” said Donna Murphy, global CEO of HH&Y. “The partnership will center around Pulse Health’s powerful technology solutions, which will allow our clients to engage with their target market on an up-close-and-personal level.”

GARDEN CITY, NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 19, 2016

Pulse Health , one of the world’s leading providers of data servicesoutreach and marketing solutions for the healthcare marketing space, has been honored by PM360 as one of the top Innovative Startups in 2016. PM360 is featuring the recognition in its 5th annual Innovations issue, created with the purpose of recognizing the most innovative products and services offered to the pharma and medical device industries. Qualifications for this prestigious honor consider companies less than 5 years old that are pioneering new avenues in healthcare.

Pulse Health prides itself on being a major disrupter in the healthcare industry by taking a field dominated with endless middle men and offering a premium one stop destination for all healthcare solutions.

“We’re ecstatic to be selected by PM360 as the healthcare startup to watch. I’m proud of the company we’ve built, and excited for the road ahead,” said Ryan Alovis, CEO of Pulse Health . “Too much waste occurs in the healthcare industry. We built Pulse Marketing Automation because ineffective and expensive outreach tactics have become the norm, and that’s because there is a lack of transparent information. Pulse is addressing this problem by focusing on zero waste and high response rates.”

Pulse Health established its flagship product, Pulse, for pharmaceutical companies to maximize their engagement with either the HCP or patient by more than 10 times the industry standard. Current solutions typically boast engagement rates of between 1-2% while Pulse, with its “zero waste” philosophy, can claim average engagement rates well over 15%. Pulse enables marketers to fully customize content focused on the interests of individual HCP and to disseminate that content via the client’s preferred channel.

The company’s Pulse platform has earned rave reviews from both clients and industry publications and is planning additional innovations and improvements to truly transform the healthcare outreach landscape. Pulse is the only platform which gives marketers the opportunity to design campaigns based on proven historical data. This method allows Pulse to translate that data into a predictive model which minimizes unnecessary costs and can easily allow users to measure their return on investment.

Pulse Health ’s talented professionals have turned innovation and the willingness to break down barriers into products that change the way the healthcare industry not only sees itself but also presents itself to those outside the industry.
