Will You Add? - How to Establish Yourself as an Expert
Prescription DrugsPharmaceutical sales jobs can be divided into a few different sectors. The most important sector will be prescription drugs where most of the action will be. This is by far where the majority of pharmaceutical sales reps work in with the main target customer base being physicians. Depending on the type of drugs promoted, sales forces target family physicians and/or specialist doctors as their main customers.Some giant pharmaceutical companies like Glaxo and Merck have large numbers of promoted products requiring several sales force divisions within each firm. There can be separate divisions promoting completely different products to the same or different customer groups. Sometimes different divisions can have the same pr
Think of ways you could establish yourself as an expert - how can you get involved and/or get noticed? Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. What is your Outside Perception? If you don't know, I would suggest asking some of your clients, peers, friends, etc. Ask those who would be honest with their
In society today and the business world, the more you use your mind, the better your success will be. When you have outstanding mind and brain skills and IQ confidence usually follows. Employers hire and promote often the person who masters these characteristics better then a very competitive workforce today.A great way to keep your brain in shape is mind puzzles and brainteasers. These fun mind games are found everywhere. They are in magazines and store check out counters, they are even in newspapers across the country. They not only give you a break from a stressful day, they actually stimulate your mind.Playing a mind game such as a cryptogram, you are increasing your reasoning skills. When you figure out which letter should be replaced with another
Many business professionals I know are so good at what they do but the problem is that everyone else doesn't know that about them. When you think about what kind of image you want to present to the public and business community - what is that? What do you look like (in your mind)?
Do you think everyone else sees you the same way or do you suppose they might have a different impression of you? My friends at Y2Marketing call this your “Inside Reality” vs. your “Outside Perception”. Your Inside Reality is what you think you are being perceived as and your Outside Perception is what people are actually perceiving you as. Many business owners get this confused or don't realize that their Outside Perception doesn't match their Inside Reality.
It's good to be seen as an Expert in your field, I know, many people see me this way. I believe it's due to my exposure in the community and the local chambers at events and meetings, on committee's and as a volunteer; it could also be due to me having established my Marketing Seminars which get published in the local newspaper and local Business Journal; it could also be due to the fact that I've spoken in front of sales teams, chamber groups, business training meetings, women's organizations and even a high school class.
One of the main reasons though could be because when I meet people I instantly want to help them and give them advice on their marketing; whether it's critiquing their business card or brochure, suggesting they get a nametag or car sign or if I give them suggestions on where to and where not to advertise their business. This alone sets me apart (as would it you) because I am educating and informing people on their marketing, not trying to sell them something or convince them to use my services.

Any retail business, indeed any business, loves loyal customers and will spend a great deal of time and money trying to lure and secure them. Once a customer feels some sense of loyalty they become a huge asset. Loyal customers come back week after week, year after year. They are inexpensive to keep and, as time goes by, bring in a great deal more custom. Often part of our coffee shop sales model has a ‘buy nine coffees, get the tenth one free' card as part of the strategy to encourage some sort of loyalty from customers. It is common among many retailers. This strategy really needs second thought about its value and its cost.How to lose profits without tryingThe ‘buy nine, get the tenth one free card’ has been used to encourage customers to ret

Traditionally, architects are a conservative bunch who fiercely guards "company secrets." As a result, the idea of using an extranet to share documents and collaborate with others has been totally alien.But tradition is rapidly changing. Increasingly, architectural firms are using extranets to share documents in a secure environment. Why? Because projects move faster, clients are happier, and everything – from schedules and budgets to CAD drawings and renderings -- is more accessible.An extranet allows engineers and construction companies to immediately access all pertinent information about a project. It eliminates the frustration of waiting until the architect decides to share his plans.Client relationships are enhanced through the faster a
Think of ways you could establish yourself as an expert - how can you get involved and/or get noticed? Here are some questions to ask yourself:
1. What is your Outside Perception? If you don't know, I would suggest asking some of your clients, peers, friends, etc. Ask those who would be honest with their feedback and see what they say. See if what they say is what you want it to be. If not, you will want to see how you can adjust your brand, your marketing message, your positioning, your products or services, pricing, etc. Don't go crazy with all of this and don't go changing things on one or two people's opinions but be proactive and look at yourself and your business from the outside in.
2. What kinds of clients or people do you attract? This somewhat relates to your target market which means if you attract one type of person who wants to listen to you or do business with you and you are targeting a whole different type of person - then you might want to rethink who you're targeting? So, where can you find more people that are attracted to you? Do they have a professional organization you can speak at or advertise to?
3. What kind of articles, how to tips or stories can you write that will be of interest to the general public or are hot topics for the media? If you find some hot topics, then find a way to write about them. Develop articles to post on your website, offer online to article publishing sites, offer local media to publish, edit or quote you from or research online for other media sources that these would be of interest to. Then don't forget to highlight yourself when published to your list on your website, by email or mail.
4. Where can you speak on similar topics of interest? Are there professional, church, community or other organizations with members who would be interested in your expertise? Approach the person in charge of booking their speakers with attention getting headlines, topics and presentation ideas. Give them highlights of what their attendees would learn or what they would walk away with but don't show them your whole presentation. Offer to speak for no charge at first and then as you get mo
