Justifying Rx Compliance Marketing

Why Breakeven Analysis Trumps ROI Projections

by Elizabeth Boehm

with Bradford J. Holmes, Sara E. McAulay


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Faced with anemic pipelines and waning profits, senior pharma managers must champion compliance marketing to make the most of the products they already have in the market. Venturing into compliance will require some trial and error — and new analytical tools — to ensure rational investments. Smart managers will employ breakeven analysis to sanity-check projects and fund pilots, reserving ROI measurement for ramp-up decisions.
