Pharmaceutical Companies can Ensure Strong Payer Interactions with a Clear Career Pathway for the Managed Markets' Sales Function
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Feb. 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The managed markets sales function has never been more important to the pharmaceutical industry. That's because the influence of payers has grown so much that pharma companies have to be diligent about their interactions with the payer community. With so much of their top-line revenues tied to payers, the pharma sector cannot afford to ignore the managed markets sales function, which is the principal interface between pharma and payers.
Yet, many pharmaceutical organizations haven't clearly delineated a career pathway for this important function.
Indeed, a majority of respondents in a recent Best Practices, LLC study reported that there is no clear career path for navigating through the managed markets sales organization. This lack of clarity decreases engagement, motivation – and ultimately performance.
The report, "Best Practices in Developing a Structured Career Path for the Managed Markets Professional" provides leaders with critical insights, reliable metrics, and trends data they can use to identify best practices and effective approaches for designing a career pathway for the pharmaceutical managed markets sales function.
Key study topics include:
- Size & Structure of the Function
- Examples of Career Path Models Within Regional & National Account Management Roles
- Performance Measurement & Evaluation Factors
- Compensation & Benefit Differences Within Job Levels
- Job Eligibility Requirements
- Paths In & Out of the Managed Markets Sales Function
- Future Trends & Potential Stumbling Blocks
This benchmarking research drew participation from 11 major healthcare organizations with direct oversight of the national, regional and key account managers in their managed markets sales organization.
