Use this guide to explain the value of Vida to any member. These points focus on our core methodology and proven outcomes, ensuring you never promise a specific benefit (like therapy or drugs) that a member's plan might not cover.
The "Elevator Pitch" (Universal)
The core value is the combination of human accountability and digital ease.
"Vida is a virtual care program that matches you with a dedicated Health Coach, Registered Dietician, or Medical Provider to help you reach your health goals. Whether you want to lose weight, lower your blood pressure, or just manage stress better, we build a personalized plan around your life."
The Clinical "Proof" (Outcomes)
Use these verified statistics to build trust. These are average outcomes across our entire population, proving the methodology works regardless of the specific program tier.
📉 The "5% Difference" (Weight Loss)
The Data: Clinical studies prove that losing just 5% of body weight significantly lowers the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
The Talking Point: "We don't focus on unrealistic 'crash diets.' We help you reach that sustainable 5-10% weight loss, because that is the medical 'sweet spot' where your risks for heart disease and diabetes drop significantly."
🩸 Chronic Condition Improvements
The Data: On average, members with high-risk conditions see meaningful reductions in A1C and Blood Pressure within the first 6 months.
The Talking Point: "Our program is clinically proven. Thousands of members have used Vida to lower their blood pressure and blood sugar numbers, often reducing their need for future medications."
The "Whole Person" Approach (Mindset)
Every program includes behavior change, even if it doesn't include licensed therapy. This allows you to address mental health safely for everyone.
The Talking Point: "We know physical health and stress are connected. That’s why every Vida program includes mindset support. Your coach helps you uncover the root causes of your habits like stress eating or sleep issues so you can make changes that actually stick."
"Safe" Feature Descriptions
How to describe features without promising something their plan might not cover.
| Feature | DO NOT SAY (Assumptive) | DO SAY (Universal & Safe) |
|---|---|---|
| The Team | "You get a Doctor and a Therapist." | "You get a dedicated Health Coach to guide you, and depending on your specific needs/plan, access to specialists like RDs, Medical Providers, or Therapists." |
| Devices | "We send you a free scale." | "Many of our programs include connected devices (like scales or cuffs) to help you track your progress automatically." |
| Medication | "We prescribe weight loss drugs." | "We can help you manage your medications, and for eligible members, our providers can work directly with your pharmacy." |
| Cost | "It is totally free." | "For most eligible members, the full cost of the program is covered by your employer or health plan." |
Handling Common Objections
Member: "I already have a doctor."
Agent: "That’s great! We don't replace your doctor; we are the daily support between those visits. Your doctor tells you what to do; your Vida Coach helps you figure out how to actually do it in your daily routine."
Member: "I've tried apps before. They don't work."
Agent: "Most apps are just automated trackers. Vida is different because of the human connection. You have a real person checking in on you, celebrating your wins, and helping you get back on track when life gets busy."
Member: "I don't have time."
Agent: "That’s why we built Vida to be virtual. You can chat with your coach or read a 3-minute lesson while you're waiting in line or on your lunch break. It fits into your schedule, not the other way around."
Why It Works (The "Secret Sauce")
Personalization: "We adapt to you. If you hate running, we won't make you run. If you love pasta, we'll help you fit it in."
Integration: "We treat the whole you. We don't separate your stress from your sleep or your food. It’s one app for your whole health."
