Pharmaceutical Sales Management 2008

Though the sales arms race is over, reps still overcrowd doctors’ waiting rooms today. Although the "more is better" selling technique employed by the largest of pharmas was successful through the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, the tactic quickly met the point of diminishing returns. Doctors, faced with seeing over 15 different reps over the course of a month, met the intrusions by closing offices to reps during certain times or shutting reps out completely.

In response to doctors’ negative reactions, a few industry leaders have now taken the step of restructuring their sales forces to reduce mirroring and once again establish more personal relationships with their targets.
