Outside-in Perspective for Sales Strategy Planning
A large pharmaceutical company was evaluating strategic changes to its US diabetes sales division, particularly considering whether to reallocate sales representatives from insulin products to other portfolio offerings. The Global Brand Commercial team required external expertise to develop alternative scenarios that could mitigate anticipated negative impacts on the insulin franchise performance. Business Talent Group engaged a former Deloitte consultant with prior experience as Head of North America Launch Management at Teva Pharmaceuticals. The consultant performed salesforce sizing and structural analysis, physician segment ROI threshold evaluation, alternative selling model investigation (including co-promotion, contract sales organizations, and tele-detailing), and portfolio balancing recommendations. The final report included quantitative and financial analyses with specific commercial sales organization recommendations.
Process changes he implemented, his recommendations and advice, and his coaching of team members helped set them up for lasting success.

I appreciate that Business Talent Group allows me to interview and select consultants myself, offers competitive pricing without massive overhead, and delivers high-quality work. However, I find that Statement of Work sign-offs are sometimes too delayed for our rushed timelines. BTG helps solve our under-resourced team issues and lack of executive-facing talent. Through their services, we've achieved huge gains in acquired employee satisfaction scores and reduced acquired employee attrition.

human resource at >1000 enterprise
I've worked on numerous projects sourced by BTG, ranging from one-person projects lasting a few weeks to multiple workstreams collaborating over several months. Initially, I worked in my core healthcare sector, but over time I've had the pleasure of expanding into new sectors like industrials. The topics have been very interesting, including M&A work and updating 5-year targets with senior country leadership. When needed, I could access BTG's industry experts and visual designers to produce very high-quality deliverables. My experience has been entirely positive - the daily rate is compatible with what I normally charge in Germany, which I really appreciate. I can fully recommend BTG, as even in tough times, I've received speedy support. BTG helps solve various business challenges including acquisition targets, product launches, competitive benchmarking, and business unit launches.

I find that Business Talent Group is ideally positioned to match company needs with highly skilled and experienced independent consultants on demand. BTG is easy to work with, has an excellent team, does good work seeking assignments, and maintains high performance standards. As a consultant with BTG since 2017, I haven't found anything to dislike about working with them. BTG solves several key problems for me: they have presence and access to companies I don't, their continuous market presence helps identify projects I wouldn't otherwise know about, and they bring together a full range of qualified consultants that can effectively compete with large, expensive consulting firms while offering clients better value.

I find that our dedicated partners at Business Talent Group have truly become part of the fabric of Heidrick & Struggles. They are knowledgeable, collaborative, responsive, and provide a great complement to the high-level work that clients expect from H&S. With their capabilities ranging from on-demand talent to special projects and their comprehensive database of freelance talent, together we've become a truly dynamic team. However, I sometimes worry that BTG gets caught in the shuffle among Heidrick's numerous offerings across our search and consulting business lines and doesn't always receive the attention it warrants. I also feel we at Heidrick need to better understand BTG's full capabilities, which extend far beyond just 'on-demand talent.' BTG has helped our internal teams assist clients in areas where we previously couldn't. For example, when an existing client needed to build out their human resources team and required help getting started, BTG brought in experts who moved the company's efforts forward quickly and efficiently with great results.

I find Business Talent Group's staff highly responsive and supportive - they quickly review proposals, schedule calls, and learn about my qualifications. I appreciate the broad variety of projects and locations available, with encouraging staff throughout the process. However, clients often post projects that never materialize, wasting my time and energy, though this isn't BTG's fault. Despite this, I recommend the platform for its quality staff and diverse opportunities.
