Product Metrics for Child Accounts
Product Metrics can be associated with child account records to help field users identify and prioritize their highest-value targets. With access to granular, location-specific data, field users can make informed, data-driven decisions to focus their efforts on locations with the highest prescription volume, greatest growth opportunity, or biggest competitive threat.
For example, an HCP’s prescribing habits for certain products are typically formed by the organization they are associated with. Users can record the HCP’s position on those products and have that information available when recording a call.
