Pharmaceutical industry
With more than 235 years of existence and governed by principles of Integrity, Honesty, Justice, and Perseverance, Takeda is today the 1st pharmaceutical company in Japan and the 15th largest global company in the prescription drugs market. It is the 7th largest pharmaceutical group in Brazil.
Headquartered in Osaka, Japan, it is present in more than 70 countries, with more than 700 products on the market and more than 31 thousand employees. Research-oriented, it now has the 7th largest pipeline among global pharmaceutical companies.
Meanwhile, its commitment to fight to provide better health care for people around the world is built upon its leadership in drug innovation.
Takeda has adopted a culture of placing the patient at the core of its business decisions, which has created the need for its commercial Consumer Health Care (CHC) team to develop a new mindset and new competencies.
This positioning demanded a more comprehensive performance and the construction of long-term relationships with clients, which required the team to change from an operational behavior, focused on day-to-day actions, to a more strategic attitude.
The company also needed this team:
The biggest challenge was to get the professionals out of their comfort zone and bring them into this new scenario, in which they would commit to the necessary changes to achieve the desired results.
The Country Manager of the Commercial Team, Gilberto Fermino, contracted Dynargie to support him in the implementation of this project. For him, it was necessary to “broaden the view of the Key Account Managers, step outside the status quo box, to seek to understand, to comprehend and to integrate the most important KPIs to our customers’ businesses, allying them with Takeda’s, broadening the perception of clients as business partners, becoming Best In Class in the eyes of customers.”
Dynargie customized a training and transformation program called Sales Academy, in which they apply:
Up until now, the Sales Academy has trained 35 professionals of the CHC division.
To Gilberto Fermino, National Sales Force Manager, the results in relation to the change in attitude, the adoption of new postures and business effectiveness within the new scope proposed by the company can be summarized as follows:
“We were facing a great challenge in conducting our Business Meetings (BM– main event of performance sharing between Takeda and its clients) with customers in a productive way, showing and dealing with issues relevant to the customer and to Takeda. Today we are able to engage all key people and decision makers in the event, motivating very productive discussions about Takeda’s performance and of its clients, integrating key KPIs and aligning plans for the future, adjusting the routes to achieve agreed financial goals.
We are seen as the main business partner in the sales channels where our team operates, and the testimonials from our clients show that we are already on the Top 10 list, changing the previous perception that we were among the Top 10 worst partners.”
