What is Segmentation?

• Different customers have different “characteristics”

• Customers with similar characteristics likely

– Make product choices similarly

– Respond similarly to promotional efforts

5

Some Challenges with Current Healthcare Segmentations

• Primarily based on specialty and past Rx volume deciles

• What drives Rx behavior is not clearly known

• Message delivered may not resonate as it may not be aligned with true motivation for their behavior

OSG’s Segmentation is Based on ‘What Matters To Customers’

DEMOGRAPHIC SEGMENTATION

Easy to target but provides little insight about what

customers value

ATTITUDINAL SEGMENTATION

Difficult to target or track performance as attitudes may

change over time

OSG-SEGMENTTM

(Needs and Outcomes Based)

Provides powerful guidance on how to change

Situation

• New biologic (Product X) for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis

• Crowded therapeutic area with many established biologics

• Client (Company X) was seeking an effective way to enter and establish

their product in this crowded market

Pharma Example – Competitive Psoriasis Market

OSG’s Solution: OSG-Segment™

• OSG recommended using its proprietary ASEMAPTM methodology to

develop actionable needs-based segments that can guide effective

targeting and messaging for Product X

Segmentation Was the First Step in a Fact-Based and Differentiating Go-To-Market Strategy

Are there distinct segments of customers that value certain attributes uniquely over other customers?

TARGETING Which customers should Company X focus and align the business around?

REACHING SEGMENTS & MESSAGING

How must Company X convey its value to win in a segment?

Key Attitudes

Try out new treatments only after they have been in the market for a long period

Top priority is to improve clinical outcomes

Keep up with breaking developments in the field

Priority is to improve profitability, physician and

employee satisfaction

First to try new treatments

Treat patients aggressively

Fear of side-effects limits their prescription of biologics

Burdened by administrative paperwork

More likely to discuss patient support programs

Prescribing Behavior

Lowest biologic prescribers

Example Criteria for Segment Targeting

• Can Product X demonstrate superiority vs. competition on attributes that uniquely matter to this segment?

• Is this segment sizeable enough to justify the effort?

• How much effort would it take to acquire customers in this segment?
