We\u2019ll look at how markets can be segmented based on factors such as company type, size, stage of development, therapeutic area, geography, and commercial needs. We\u2019ll also discuss the difference between selecting the right companies and identifying the individuals involved in a purchase, partnership, or licensing decision.  <\/p><div class=\"container\"><div id=\"model-response-message-contentr_4bd504e22699f25c\" class=\"markdown markdown-main-panel md-content enable-luminous-fast-follows enable-updated-hr-color\" dir=\"ltr\" aria-busy=\"false\" aria-live=\"polite\"><p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Then let&#8217;s get started.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"8\">The exercises are based on your own business situation. During the workshop, you&#8217;ll go through a practical series of steps and leave with: <\/p><ol start=\"1\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\">A well-defined target market<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"9,0,1\">Divide your market into relevant segments and determine which ones are worth focusing on.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\">One or more clear target audience profiles (ICPs)<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"9,1,1\">Define the type of company you want to reach, including factors such as business type, size, stage of development, therapeutic area, geography, and anticipated commercial need.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\">A stakeholder map<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1\">Identify the people involved in the purchasing, partnership, or licensing decision, and find out what matters to each of them.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,3,0\">A list of actual target companies<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"9,3,1\">Turn your target audience profile into an initial, actionable list of accounts that you can use for business development or marketing.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,4,0\">A more targeted message for that audience<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"9,4,1\">Test whether your current value proposition makes sense to the people you want to reach, and adjust it as needed.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,5,0\">A practical way to reach them<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"9,5,1\">Determine which channels make the most sense, from direct outreach and LinkedIn to events, partnerships, content, and campaigns.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p data-path-to-node=\"10\">Throughout the session, we also use LLMs as practical tools to accelerate research, segmentation, account discovery, stakeholder analysis, and message development. The goal is not to automate the thinking process, but to use these tools to get useful commercial work done more quickly. <\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"11\">Bring a real-world challenge, target market, prospect list, campaign, or business idea. By the end of the workshop, you\u2019ll have something you can actually put to use, rather than just a theoretical framework to revisit later. <\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"12\">During the session, two to three commercial experts from the life sciences industry will be on hand to evaluate your work, test your assumptions, share examples, and help you take the next steps. The exercises can be adapted for biotech and pharmaceutical buyers\/developers, CROs, CDMOs, technology companies, consultants, and other service providers in the life sciences sector. <\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b26d86e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b26d86e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About the Life Science Marketing Community<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a3f9a73 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a3f9a73\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The workshop is a collaboration between PLNT, Leiden Bio Science Park, and JPP Life Sciences Marketing &#038; BD, and brings together the local life sciences network, an entrepreneurial work environment, and hands-on commercial experience from across the sector.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"14\">And the value isn\u2019t just in what you build during the session.
