01. The Challenge
Communication Barrier
An estimated 117 million adults have one or more chronic health conditions, and one in four adults have two or more. Chronic Care Management is a service that provides non-face-to-face care in-between office visits to Medicare beneficiaries who have multiple (two or more), significant chronic conditions. Providers, health systems, and community health centers were generally unaware of the program and were missing the opportunity to generate new recurring revenue and improve their patients' health. The primary reason: they were usually too busy to reach on the phone or listen to a sales representative explain the program. I was hired to find a way to overcome this barrier, and give their sales and marketing team a more effective way to communicate the benefits of this program.
02. The Solution
The Power of Video Marketing
Based on prior experience with business development in this vertical and market research, I recommended creating animated explainer videos to convey and communicate these complex programs in a simple and visually attractive way. The message needed to resonate with key decision makers and appeal to their primary goals—acquiring new patients, increasing the bottom line, and improving quality measures and patient outcomes. It also needed to provide the audience with a way to digest the information when it was convenient for them, because of their heavy work load and limited time schedules.
Design Elements
A problem solution motif was used strategically in the video as it describes the program and its benefits. Clean graphics and familiar healthcare scenarios were used to bullet point key features and benefits, and establish a connection between the audience, the subject matter, and the program's benefits.
Target Audience
Private practice, providers and provider organizations, healthcare systems, community health centers, and federally qualified health centers nationwide.

03. The Results
Effective Marketing Collateral
Vigilance Health sales representatives were excited to finally have high quality digital assets they could leverage in their outreach efforts. As part of my marketing strategy, I established a social media presence and posted the videos on those channels, including LinkedIn (which offered the largest and most engaged audience). I recommended the CEO and his biz dev team build personal networks by friending the CEO's, CFO's, and CMO's of the target organizations, which they did. Then we posted the video to their page and each of them shared it with their respective networks. LinkedIn analytics revealed who viewed the video, and the team was instructed to follow up. The social proof made the lead warmer and the team more confident because they knew the prospective client probably had some interest. The result was less time trying to connect and/or detail the program over the phone, and more time building rapport, scheduling presentations and closing deals. The Vigilance Health sales team is on pace to have a record year.
