Help sales reps develop strong, rewarding relationships through effective speaker program management. Impact doctor-rep relationships to build customer loyalty and drive market share. A carefully crafted speaker program administration can have an enormous impact upon building and developing physician relationships, which ultimately drives sales and market share. Indeed, many of the most highly respected pharmaceutical companies now use these programs as one of their primary channels to educate the medical community about disease states and new products. To deliver maximum value, these programs must be managed as integrated processes that successfully develop and expand relationships.

Study Snapshot

This Best Practices in Speaker Program Administration study identifies the top practices shared by benchmark partners. Your company can use consolidated insights and best practices of the benchmark class to guide thinking about your own physician relationship management process. As the market for doctor attention gets tighter, your company can use the findings of this report to craft a short- and long-term strategy for success in building physician loyalty. That relationship will play a growing role in the evolving pharmaceutical sales process. To succeed, companies will be required to provide world-class service to thought leaders and influencers through cutting-edge research and improved processes. Constant innovation is critical to maintaining and expanding these key relationships.

Overall project findings reveal three critical focal points for program administration management. First, program managers must address thought leader needs for simple, clear, and fast payment systems. Second, they must address corporate needs for strong, user-friendly technology and cost effectiveness. Third, program managers must align speaker administration to build value-adding relationships with doctors in order to integrate program administration as part of a thought leader management process. Report findings are organized to help companies meet all three of these challenges.
