The programme starts with representatives discovering their dominant questioning style, then works on building questions around the physician's profile rather than their own selling style. Questions suited to each adoption stage, from awareness to advocacy, are covered together with active listening and staying present. Inventory exercises, physician case and profile studies and workshops reinforce the learning.
