Pharmaceutical Sales:
An Ever-Changing Landscape
The pharmaceutical industry is no stranger to overcoming
challenges. Long R&D cycles, years of clinical trials and strict
government regulations are just a few of the hurdles pharma
companies must overcome in bringing a new drug to market.
Not to mention the fact that once a drug is marketable, rapidly
expiring patent protections mean a small window of opportunity
to profit.
Enter the pharmaceutical sales teams. These well-trained
individuals spearhead the marketing of drugs armed with
information such as metabolic makeup, clinical trial data, benefits,
side effects, dosage and more.
Better Preparation
Field reps and KAMs need to quickly review activity across their
providers and accounts multiple times a day. They need the right
information to prioritize which doctors or hospitals to visit, what
they need to prepare and which solutions they are going to offer.
Prescriber lists.
All past interactions (call history, call frequency, sales volume
and market share).
Prescriber info by territory.
Maintain Flexibility
In decades past, sales reps would visit doctors at their office with
a handful of samples, printed brochures and static presentations.
Today, with 8 out of the 10 largest global pharmaceutical firms
deploying iPads for sales representatives, digital detailing has
reshaped provider interactions.
With the touch of a screen, sales reps now have access to
unlimited informational, analytical and visual resources. This
creates an opportunity to deliver the right key messages at the
right time, based on a stakeholders preference.
In order to maximize this opportunity, field reps and KAMs need
to consider where their next interaction will take place. Will it be
one-on-one in a doctors office? One-to-many in a presentation?
Online or offline? Based on where daily interactions will take
place, reps must ensure they have all of the tools they need to
present for multiple calls throughout the day.
Mobile data reporting makes this possible, and provides KAMs
and field reps with the information they need no matter where
they may be.
Even though each job role in the pharma sales structure comes
with different concerns, the overall goal of selling more remains
the same for all. The only way to achieve this at scale is by
combining the power of CRM and business intelligence systems
with an integrated, secure mobile reporting platform.
Profitability.
Spending and direction on research and development.
Clinical trial progress and outcomes.
Sales numbers.
KAMs must maintain and improve both account and sales rep
performance by keeping track of important data. Additionally,
they have to provide that data to key executives to aid them in
making intelligent decisions.
First-line managers are tasked with maintaining and improving
team performance and similarly with reporting key information to
the top.
And the mobile nature of field sales requires instantaneous
access to data-heavy information in order to make the most of
every stakeholder interaction.
