For the first time, RISE will offer pre-conference workshops at the Medicare Marketing & Sales Summit. Two three-hour virtual workshops will be offered the afternoon of Friday, Feb. 19, followed by a welcome reception and a keynote address by former Disney executive Louie Gravance.
The first pre-conference workshop will address product design and competitive analysis essentials. The hands-on workshop will take place noon to 3 p.m. EST on Friday, Feb. 19.
Kristy Strain, director of product and marketing strategy, Health Alliance Plan, will lead workshop attendees through a roadmap for successful team collaboration among product design, marketing execution, and sales innovation functions.
Workshop attendees will leave with an understanding of each departments’ role and the tactical steps their teams can take to achieve cross-functional collaboration:
- Structure product design to differentiate from the heavy hitting national plans to gain an advantage in the market
- Capitalize on experiences with members to identify which benefits are most desirable
- Create and implement a sales strategy to highlight the value of the product offerings to increase new membership
- Structure marketing campaigns to increase visibility of product offerings to new prospects
