The Problem
•80% of many solutions – 100% of none
•Pragmatist won’t buy 80% solutions
The Solution
•Focus on a single customer segment and build whole product(messages) for that segment
•Use experience and product(messages) to move to similar segments
The “Beachead” Segment
OgilvyHealthworld

Screening Questions to find Pragmatists
Now I would like to read you a few statements. Please tell me whether you agree or disagree with each?
1. I insist on receiving good references from trusted colleagues who I personally know before adopting new medications.
Agree – CONTINUE
Disagree - TERMINATE
2. Clinical trials are not as important to me as seeing results in my own clinical practice.
Agree - CONTINUE
Disagree - TERMINATE
3. I can make a leap of faith that a new product will deliver favourable health outcomes before THE TRIAL DATA IS PUBLISHED.
Agree - TERMINATE
Disagree – CONTINUE
4. Show me a new product does what I need done – AND WHY - and I’ll use it.
Agree - CONTINUE
Disagree – TERMINATE
NOTE: You may have difficulty finding physicians who give the right answer for all four statements above. If so, continue to
screen on the basis of two of the four statements answered correctly (vs. all four answered correctly).
