MR MANAGEMENT

Purpose

MR activities have recently had to change dramatically.

• Hospitals started restricting sales visits.
• Old ways of sales activities do not guarantee good results.
• You cannot negotiate prices.
• Doctors don't care to listen if you only talk about the details.
• Correct information about side effects of medicine is demanded.

In a word, MRs need to be recognized as specialists to provide information on medicine for patient treatment. In this changing environment for MRs to be successful, you have to meet doctors' expectations. In order to do that, MRs have to have enough knowledge of medicine and skills to communicate with doctors, understanding their perspectives and their thinking. For managers to train these MRs and promote MR activities responding to changes, you have to direct them through their daily work.

MR-M: MR MANAGEMENT is designed to help managers develop skills for training and directing MRs through OJT opportunities, such as accompanying/ joint visits; discover ways of giving more effective advice; and improving their subordinates' weak points to carry out MR activities more effectively.

Expected Results

• Avoid uniform direction by understanding each subordinate
