Field Coaching Guides

Making a difference in the field​

Training should result in a change of behaviors. ProFusion’s Field Coaching Guides are tools used by sales managers to help representatives take action steps based on what they’ve learned. The Guides are printable and specifically designed for application during ride-alongs or remote coaching.​

​Each Guide contains several important features:

Pull-through Webinars

Pull-through learning from Home Study with customized webinars facilitated by ProFusion

Pull-through Webinar

Solidifying Understanding

Pull-through webinars provide the opportunity to apply knowledge learned from e-learning courses to the team’s specific customer base and product. This is an opportunity for internal stakeholders to provide input on topics to focus on and desired takeaways. The parameters of the webinar are completely customizable, from length to topics to participants.

Webinars are built and facilitated by ProFusion to be interactive.  Depending on the size, some activities could include:

Retention Campaigns

Push a series of knowledge checks to learners to reinforce key learnings and gauge understanding

Retention Campaigns

Lasting Effects​

ProFusion’s retention campaigns ensure learners can recall key points from their training courses. The campaign spans four weeks beginning the day after completion of the course. Learners will be asked to complete six exercises, and will be ranked against their peers on a “forgetting curve”. ​

​They will receive notifications for six quiz exercises that consist of up to five quiz questions from the original course along a set schedule after course completion.

Research Tools

Properly managing a geography requires deep knowledge of the customer. Our research tools guide the user on uncovering the customer’s business model

Research Tools

Know Your Customer​

ProFusion has developed proprietary research tools designed to collect a comprehensive profile of the prescribing customer. The tools have a heavy focus on the influence of local integrated delivery networks as well as the payers that create the product access environment in each territory.​

A Research Workbook lists specific features of an individual territory, and why it is important to collect each data point. A Customer Profile Sheet captures the results of the research. Interpretive webinars follow the research effort, helping individuals understand how their own customers specifically operate as a business, and thereby create a unique prescribing environment.

Interactive Workshops

Activity-based workshops challenge learners to apply learning through case studies mimicking their customer universe

Interactive Workshops

Account Management Training

The Value Perspective Model uses these live workshops to apply knowledge about the market, learned through pre-work training, and about the customer, discovered with ProFusion’s research tools, to begin defining strategies. Matrix team collaboration can be maximized through these workshops.

ProFusion will work with internal stakeholders to develop real-world scenarios the team may encounter to challenge them to consider market and product access before calling on a customer.

Beyond Expectations

ProFusion’s model helped us redefine the health system account management process across our Matrix teams. The project initiated in one business unit, and now other business units have joined in because it has had an impact!
