The problem it solves

Chain negotiations are lost on the account P&L the chain has and the supplier does not. This plan builds it: rate card → activities → calendar → investment by pillar and quarter → account P&L last year, plan and plan at −10 % → KPIs by month.

Who it is for

Key-account manager, trade marketing manager, brand manager in consumer healthcare, writing for a Gulf market and presenting to a regional or global team. Also the distributor marketer who co-writes it.

How the example helps

Every example is set in one fictional world: Meridian Consumer Health, its distributor Northern Gulf Distribution Co., the scalp-care brand Clarisel and its competitors Scalvia, Sebravel, Scalpex and Trichoderm. Nahdi, Al-Dawaa and United are real Saudi pharmacy chains used as market fixtures with invented figures. You see every box filled, every chart populated and every number reconciled, without a real company's data.

Not for

Prescription brands with a medical-affairs plan, agencies pitching creative work, or anyone who needs a company's proprietary template. The structure is the practice of the industry; the words, charts and numbers are original.
