How can we use mobile sales apps to improve pharma sales?

Posted by Rebecca Spary on Jul 12, 2016 11:00:00 AM

We’re all familiar with the many challenges facing the pharma industry, from expiring patents to intensifying cost controls. There are also issues with strict regulatory compliance and competition from generics; pushing pharma sales and marketing teams to become more adaptive in real time.

Pharma needs a multi-channel content strategy and their pharma sales reps (PSRs) need a mobiles sales application that will help them deliver an adaptive sales process. 

A mobile sales app is a valuable sales tool. Today, buyers and pharma sales reps are using multiple devices on a daily basis, from smartphones to desktop computers, and don’t forget the perfect, not too big, not too small device – the tablet.

The iPad has become the device of choice for pharma, but there are still important questions that need to be answered, such as, since the majority of sales reps are now using mobile sales apps for digital detailing, how can we stand out from the crowd?

GUEST BLOGGER - Peter Ostrow: 21st Century Selling Comes of Age

Here, There, and Everywhere: 21st Century Selling Comes of Age

Answer this question:  is your sales team inside or outside?  If you hesitate before mentally responding, you’re in good company.  

 

Over the years, my Sales Effectiveness research has seen a steady blurring of these traditional job roles, as work/life balance employment trends, ever-cooler handheld devices, and lightning-fast connectivity have dramatically changed the landscape of B2B selling.  Traditionally, enterprises employed low-cost or entry-level staff to smile-and-dial their way toward qualifying leads for the field, and showered their high-flying outside reps with all the goodies that accrued to coffee-drinking closers.  The line between the personas was clear, although proactive sales leaders were wise enough to build a dues-paying, promotional path between them for the strongest inside sellers to graduate to the field.

Guest Blogger- Peter Ostrow: Are You Ready for a Trip to Hill Valley?

Posted by Peter Ostrow on Jan 13, 2015 1:00:00 PM

As hard as it might be for some of us old-timers to believe, 2015 represents the exact 30-year mark referenced in Back to the Future Part II.  Makes you feel old, doesn’t it?  

The concept of time, beyond Hollywood's interpretations of traveling through it, is a core currency among modern B2B marketers and sellers: product developers are under constant pressure to reduce speed-to-market. Marketers are tasked with refreshing – and controlling – the brand more frequently than ever before, and delivering more quality leads, and faster than a DeLorean. Sales leaders are pulled in a million directions, and never have enough space on their calendar to ride along with their reps in order to provide proper coaching. Reps themselves are now required to act like micro-marketers, adding the stress of delivering the right message, at the right time, to the right person, to their already-metered selling time. And even clients are required to become smarter buyers, distilling terabytes of user-generated and Googled data into just-in-time, lean purchasing behaviors that minimize face time with traditional B2B sales reps who cherish that 1:1 encounter more than anything else.
