The PRISM Method

Five steps from diagnosis to a team that runs the plan.

Every engagement follows the same sequence. The steps overlap, and most of the work happens inside your team, with the people who'll run it.

Weeks 1–3

Diagnose

Talk to the distributors, doctors, pharmacists and shoppers who decide, and find where the brand loses them.

You getA map of where the brand loses its buyers, and the first lever to pull.

Step by step

What happens, and what you get

Each step ends with something your team can use straight away.

  1. Weeks 1–3

    Diagnose

    Before building anything, I map what makes a buyer choose one brand over another in your market, and where your commercial system loses that moment. That means structured conversations with the doctors, pharmacists, distributors and shoppers who decide.

    You getA map of where the brand loses its buyers, and the first lever to pull.

  2. Weeks 4–7

    Reposition

    I rebuild the positioning so your buyers understand why the brand matters at the moment they decide. The work ties your offer to a real patient need, market tension or growth opportunity your competitors have missed.

    You getA positioning framework and message hierarchy.

  3. Weeks 8–14

    Integrate

    Strategies stall when brand, field force, distributors and leadership each run their own version. This step lines them up behind one commercial plan and one way of working.

    You getA commercial operating model and go-to-market playbook.

  4. Weeks 12–20

    Activate

    I build the playbooks, KAM frameworks, field tools and team routines, then train your people on live accounts. The test is whether it keeps running after I leave.

    You getKAM playbooks, field tools and a trained team.

  5. Ongoing

    Measure

    We agree the signals that show the market moving your way, such as category share, prescriptions, distributor sell-through and conversion by customer tier, and review them every quarter until the numbers move.

    You getA KPI dashboard and a quarterly review cycle.
