Description

The Medical Rep (MR) is uniquely placed to build relationships with pharma’s primary customers – doctors and retail pharmacies.

 

Developing the capabilities of the FLM is critical to ensure that the Medical Rep has the right set of KA$H to build personal relationships with doctors and retail pharmacies.

 

The Front Line Manager (FLM) is the last-mile-connect of pharma strategies and on him lies the onus of equipping Medical Reps to be effective in their role as territory managers.

 

According to Enrique Garrido, the role of the FLM is critical because although the company determines the direction of the organization, the FLMs assess the implementation of the strategy. It is well known that 75% of projects fail in implementing strategy.

Pharmaceutical companies can obtain dramatic improvement from their sales forces when their first line managers (FLM) improve their own effectiveness.

To understand and execute the company’s strategies is the primary responsibility of FLMs, to do this, he has to understand and play his role as a business manager and team leader effectively.

Yes Sir as rightly said it's important to develop and train the FLM. It's important not only to motivate them financially with lucrative incentives but more importantly train them & upgrade their technology knowledge and team building skills to manage the team & get the better out of them for long term business.

Thank you Anup Soans for the valuable information shared by you in your presentation. It was useful to note the challenges faced and the expectations expressed by HCPs in this Covid outbreak. These customer pain points should be empathized with and translated to touchpoints by Med Reps and FLMs. I would say that the Continuous (digital) Learning Model will develop Medical Reps not only to 2.0 but 4.0, once they adopt the 4Rs-reinvent, reskill, reorient, and refocus.

Thank you Bhaskar - well articulated

why Pharma company talk about the experience for the job of FLM even if a senior MR is eligible for the post. FLM job is related to owning the skills of MR and strategy making.
