At present, the pharmaceutical industry is changing due to expensive promotion and research and development (R&D) campaigns, which are crucial to examine opportunities to simplify and streamline operations in order to align businesses towards the needs of customers. In this situation, sales force effectiveness drives the success of pharmaceutical companies. Sales force effectiveness begins with developing an effective sales strategy, sizing and structuring the sales force, designing incentive compensation plans, setting goals, managing sales performance, recruiting sales people, motivating the sales force, building a potent sales force culture, and coordinating sales and marketing.

Pharmaceutical companies should have the best sales force to generate the most sales, and should also know how to integrate strategic business objectives with selection program strategies. Due to the changing pharmaceutical market environment, sales force roles are also changing. Sales representatives in leading companies now have the responsibility of delivering marketing messages and offering information and educational opportunities to physicians to build and change behaviors and relationships. Physician demand for more detailed, comparative and customized information from pharmaceutical sales representatives is also increasing. As a result, new sales representatives should have the right set of skills to play these varying roles.

In recent years, there has been a change in direction in the pharmaceutical industry about methods for effectiveness selling. The industry has recorded a number of sales job cuts, and as a result, sales forces in the US and Europe has reduced drastically. This reduction has forced pharmaceutical companies to change the size, structure and sales strategies of their sales forces. In addition, pharmaceutical companies are now under pressure to generate more profits with smaller sales forces. To achieve this, pharmaceutical companies are adopting strategies to remain competitive in the market.
