Today, more than ever before, pharmaceutical sales and marketing executives are facing challenges from all sides. Internally, the pressure to fill pipelines, demands for more R&D results, and competition from generics demand new outcomes from pharmaceutical marketing and sales teams across the board.
Externally, new U.S.-based regulatory (e.g. post-approval monitoring), legislative, and patent issues continue to loom. Changes affecting the sales and marketing functions of the industry are inevitable as a new administration takes control of the FDA, FTC and other agencies in 2009.
