Information and Analytics to Drive Performance
Identify Prospects and Opportunities, Expand Your Market Share, and Measure Your Performance
You know it and we know it: very few biopharmaceutical sales forces operate at peak efficiency. And it has nothing to do with representatives’ effort.
The difficulties begin with creating an organizational structure that optimizes the number of representatives, aligns them effectively, and makes best use of your overall investment. Then, your representatives need direction and feedback to be effective.
• Structure sales force and align territories
• Profile and segment stakeholders
• Plan and execute effective calls
• Manage customer infomation and automate record keeping
• Monitor sales performance via dashboards of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
• Track promotional expenditure by customer for compliance purposes

potential and where there is untapped opportunity.
