It’s almost July. Conference season has quieted down.
Your KOLs are harder to reach. It feels like everyone in Europe is on vacation. You have a choice:
Coast and cram in September.
Or build skills now and crush Q4.
In this edition:
✔ What high-performing MSLs actually do in summer
✔ A weekly rhythm to stay sharp without burning out
✔ A chat prompt to have Mira map your action plan
✔ A smarter way to spend your summer slowdown (that pays off all year)
Let’s get it.
Jordan vs. Taylor: A Summer Split Screen
Two MSLs. Same company. Same therapeutic area. Same quarterly targets. Very different choices.
Jordan’s Summer:
– “No one’s around anyway” → minimal outreach
– Waits until September to prep for congresses
– Skims new data
– Phones into presentations last-minute
Taylor’s Summer:
– Builds KOL trust with low-pressure outreach
– Starts congress prep in 30-minute sessions
– Practices explaining data aloud, no slides
– Focuses on one presentation skill each week
By fall:
Jordan is catching up.
Taylor is heading into fall prepared to crush.
What You Can Copy (Starting This Week)
1️⃣ Block 30 min twice a week for congress prep
Even if the agenda isn’t final, get familiar with sessions, speakers, and topics that align with your pipeline.
2️⃣ Send 1 KOL message per week
Keep it helpful, not salesy. Try:
“Hi Dr. Lee, I came across a poster that reminded me of your work in [topic]. Want to discuss it live on Thursday or Friday afternoon, or just to catch up this summer?”
3️⃣ Practice explaining 1 new study out loud
Keep it under 60 seconds. No slides. (Even better: record yourself and check your 5 Ps.)
4️⃣ Choose one delivery skill to master each week
Week 1: Slow down for emphasis
Week 2: Cut filler words
Week 3: Vary your pitch to hold attention
✅ Or better yet: have Mira plan your summer for you
Go to Mira and try this prompt:
“I’m a senior MSL mapping out a plan to make the most of a slow summer. Help me build a weekly routine to:
– Stay connected with KOLs
– Get ahead on congress prep
– Sharpen presentation skills
– Practice scientific storytelling
Make it practical, specific, and tied to Q4 readiness.”
