Pricing and Selling Complexity

A key challenge in the pharmaceutical industry is how to optimally price, quote, and sell new drugs and innovative therapies. Pricing has to account for a number of factors including: high R&D costs that must be recouped; the complexity of public tenders; competing drugs, brand/generic, as well as alternative sources of wellness; increased social and governmental pushbacks against “price gouging”; as well as the entire lifecycle pricing management for the drug through its patent-protected life and beyond. This can get further complicated when rebates and other promotional programs are added. Similarly, quoting, contracts, and agreements are often complex and time consuming.

Due to all this complexity, pharmaceutical companies have often outsourced pricing to consulting firms who create complicated, static, spreadsheet models, traditionally charging upwards of millions of dollars. The static nature of this model makes it difficult to make changes as market conditions change and to meet stakeholder expectations on ROI and growth. It is solely by leveraging AI-powered analytic, pricing, and digital selling solutions that pharmaceutical companies will achieve unmatched growth and ultimate stakeholder and customer satisfaction.
