Why do some individuals seem to flourish in all they do, but others flounder along at the rear? Mostly it’s because the successful people have set goals and take steps to efficiently achieve them. So how do they always appear to achieve their goals?

Listed here are five strategies they use:

1. Start with a long-term goal, write it down, taking into account when you are going to achieve the goal and why it’s important. Try and be as visual as possible, explaining how the achievement of this goal will change your life for the better. Once this long-term goal has been documented, break the goal into tangible steps that need to be taken to achieve the goal.

2. Make certain that you really want the goal. Ask yourself, “Do I really want this goal? Will this goal give me a better life?” Answering these questions will give you more drive to achieve your goal.

3. Speak up. You should not keep your goals to yourself. Sharing your goals can help you get the support you may need from others. Some individuals are concerned with telling others about their goals because they are worried they will fail. However, telling others means that you are more likely to achieve your goals either with their support or in-spite of them.

4. Write down your goals. This strategy is advisable for those who have a long list of goals. After writing them down, review them regularly. You may also want to keep them handy to keep you motivated.

You have to discipline yourself to stick to what you have written. Do not just write them and tuck them away somewhere ‘safe’. Its better to keep them where you will see them, try sticking them to the refrigerator.

5. Stay on track and do not give up. Reviewing your goals will help open your mind to see if you are on the right track. While on track, you may have to face challenges that might change the way you see yourself.

Never be discouraged. Encountering obstacles is just a test for how dedicated one is to achieve the goals you’ve set. It will all boil down to you preparing yourself to face anything and doing everything to get to the goal that you have set for yourself. Only you can make it happen. Nothing can stop you if you have set your mind to it and commit to taking action.

Unfortunately, the process of decision-making is often based on so many, often irrational factors, that the pharmaceutical sales representative has his or her work cut out. Healthcare professionals and doctors in particular are not able to operate in an emotional vacuum, even though it is often difficult for them to maintain their work (and indeed their sanity) due to the difficult environments that they occupy. They lead their lives in the real world and are subject to the formation of opinions, the attraction of positive and negative emotions in any number of ways. So many different factors determine how they make up their mind on any number of issues and this process is often referred to in pharma training.

The marketplace is becoming more and more difficult, is a very competitive environment with legislation and restrictions ensuring that pharmaceutical companies have to train their employees really well to cope. Some studies have shown that emotional factors can account for almost as many motivational triggers as their rational counterparts. Whether the professional is aware of the situation or not is conjecture, but it certainly makes the role of the pharmaceutical sales representative a lot more difficult. The professional may be inspired by a particular brand reputation, by a particularly positive or negative reaction from a client or two and could form opinions based on the overall success of a brand marketing campaign. Often, if a brand is not able to establish its superior position effectively, it may not be able to convince a healthcare professional, due to their avowed intent to look after the patient, first and foremost.

These days, key account management training should encourage individuals within the organisation to observe and decipher the process of decision-making as keenly as possible. This is far more difficult than it might seem on the face of it, as emotional factors often drive the professional’s choice and these factors may not be consciously or subconsciously apparent. Nevertheless, a keen observation may reveal subtle clues, be they visual, spoken or sometimes written and this data should be gathered and assessed to enable a pattern to be revealed.

There are a number of research groups active in this area, looking at trends and trying to determine the emotional needs of practitioners and physicians, ready to give this data to the pharmaceutical industry. These findings should be of prime importance as consultants determine where a particular organisation may shine. With this information, key account management training should then be modified to ensure that the approach is consistent with the needs of the client, from both a rational and from an emotional perspective.

In the ultimate position, the pharmaceutical sales company will be more aware of individual buying decisions than the individual responsible for making the decision. It’s important to understand that emotional triggers cannot only affect individual prescription decisions, but also affect engagement from an overall perspective. If the pharmaceutical company can make alterations to its modus operandi, then it may in turn bypass the objections of the client.

As the market becomes more and more competitive and even more heavily regulated, it is likely that emotional buying decisions will become even more relevant.
