ARTICLE EXCERPT:

Effective multichannel marketing (MCM) to healthcare professionals (HCPs) is about orchestrating a range of personal and non-personal delivery channels—web, phone, sales visits, email, mobile, direct mail and so on—to engage them over time via a constructively cumulative set of interactions. The aim is to ensure that the right message, in the most appropriate format and at the right frequency (so they don't get tagged as spam), reaches the customer at a time that is both convenient and most likely to provide a valued experience or service.

To accomplish this, life sciences companies can follow a process of "Automate, Learn and Adapt," as explained below, to intelligently and efficiently engage with their customers.
