About the Seminar
Sales managers in the pharmaceutical industry face a variety of challenges in the routine execution of their leadership roles. For example, managers demonstrate leadership when they deal effectively with unproductive and negative behaviours that potentially impact the performance of their teams.

Employees who fail to meet performance expectations typically treat others carelessly, complain and criticize others inappropriately, and spread discord within the sales team. Effective sales managers must move quickly and skilfully to maintain and grow harmonious and productive working relationships.

This highly-interactive session provides participants with models and proven techniques for eliminating performance-blocking behaviours. Through realistic pharmaceutical case studies, participants will explore practical strategies for approaching and managing difficult coaching situations.

During the one-day session participants will:

  • Identify the requirements for well-designed objectives and standards in the development of effective performance.
  • Examine the role and strength of “values” in the resolution of unproductive behaviours.
  • Explore three techniques for delivering interpersonal feedback that reinforce desirable behaviours and eliminate negative behaviours.
  • Identify challenges faced by managers when dealing with difficult coaching situations.
  • Explore and implement models for resolving difficult situations.

Who Should Attend:
Pharmaceutical Sales Managers, VPs of Sales and Marketing

Learn to:

  • Establish clear performance expectations and standards
  • Deliver effective performance feedback.
  • Create a motivating environment that reduces potential performance problems.
  • Deal productively with misdirected frustrations and negative “attitudes”.
  • Demonstrate clear leadership in challenging coaching situations.
