As a commercial director in a pet food or veterinary pharmaceutical company you are addressing a unique market:

• • Consumers who don’t shop their own food or medication—their owners do;
• • Shoppers who don’t consume the products they buy—their pets do;
• • Customers who recommend, but don’t always sell—they may not stock the product or may fail to secure a sale;
• • A variety of people in the pet store and the vet clinic you need to engage with. It is essential to educate these professionals, so they can confidently and actively promote your products to pet owners.

You may face one or several challenges:

• • Sales teams across your region with suboptimal technical skills and diverse experience and capability across different markets;
• • Difficulties in developing and motivating your sales teams on the ground. They may fall into routine, uninspiring patterns when conducting a sales call;
• • Sales teams that struggle to address common customer objections. They may attribute low sales to external factors such as price competition, internet sales and economic crisis;
• • A need to be seen by veterinary professionals as the preferred business partner and not just a manufacturer.

Your team may have become complacent. They may spend less time identifying customers’ needs and building unique business opportunities. Engaging with customers meaningfully may be a challenge.

Even the most experienced sales people sometimes operate on autopilot. They know what works for them, and stick to it. But the strategies that got you where you are not the same ones that will move you to the next stage.

- A competent and motivated sales team on the ground able to establish trust and credibility with veterinary professionals, identify customer needs, and build unique business opportunities;
- To become the partner of choice for veterinary professionals;
- To establish veterinary endorsement that will drive sales and market share across all business channels.
