HERNDON, Va. - June 6, 2018 - PRLog -- Ignite Selling, the global sales performance improvement company with expertise in sales coaching and training today announced its participation in the 47th LTEN Annual Conference, the most significant event for life sciences trainers, leaders and top industry partners in North America. This three-day event will be held on June 11-14th, 2018 at the J W Marriot in Phoenix, Arizona. During the three-day event, the team from Ignite Selling will be showcasing Competitive Sales Simulations and Interactive Learning Maps at the booth and will be conducting an immersive workshop. A special Learning Lab session, scheduled on June 13th at 4:15 pm titled "Driving Skill and Knowledge Application through Competitive Simulations" will focus on discovering how comprehensive, competitive account management simulations provides field organizations with a realistic method to apply knowledge, skills, and tools to the practical and complicated customer and helps them enhance their proficiency to strategically and tactically manage customer concerns and challenges.

One of the toughest and most critical questions to answer in today's healthcare sales is: how well equipped is the field organization to tackle the rapid pace of changes in the healthcare marketplace and competitive environment that is currently impacting customer's business and patient care decisions? Most organizations use a number of learning sessions to teach marketplace context, therapeutic/product knowledge, face-to-face customer engagement skills, strategic account management skills, negotiations skills, presentations skills, and all other processes and tools that support field professionals. However, there are very few programs that are directed towards developing field professionals' overall confidence to adapt and apply these learnings to today's rapidly changing marketplace. In the Learning Lab session (https://www.ltenconference.com/sessions/driving-skill-kno...) at the LTEN event, the format has been specially designed to offer a customized experiential simulation program to allow participants to experience the creative power of a competitive sales simulation. The session will be hosted by three livewire presenters, Meredith Bon Tempo, Senior Manager, Commercial Training at Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Dr. Wendy Heckleman, President and Founder, WLH Consulting, Inc. and Steve Gielda, Principal Partner, Ignite Selling, Inc. Each of the presenters will play a role in the presentation.

In the 90-minute session, Dr. Wendy Heckleman will introduce participants to the landscape of Competitive Simulations that not only replicates the real sales environment by creating multiple influencers to choose from and numerous paths to select but also compels the field organization to think through the process and test assumptions strategically.

Steve Gielda, a pioneer, an expert in the area of Sales Enablement will conduct the live competitive simulation immersion experience with a set of tools and methods that help participants develop a specific strategy, develop an execution plan and implement the sales plan. This part of the session is expected to help participants learn by doing and get practice by executing hands-on activities that simulate on-the-job scenarios.

Meredith Bon Tempo, well-known industry leader will highlight how driving performance through field organization development is achievable by comprehensive, competitive account management simulations that require the use of innovative tools and techniques provided by industry partners focused on sales enablement.

The learning outcomes of the session include:

* Discovering how comprehensive, competitive account management simulations provide field organizations an opportunity to apply knowledge, skills, and tools in a realistic, simulated customer account.

* Experiencing a competitive simulation specifically designed to engage an entire account team's ability to strategically and tactically manage account concerns and challenges.

* Hearing from experts and peers in the pharma and medical device space about how they have leveraged competitive account management simulations to improve proficiency of critical skills, enhance product knowledge and reinforce key processes to drive better business results.
