The Need

What do you do if a Field Sales Manager, Regional, or Area Manager moves permanently to another position within the organisation, or leaves?

Often it can take up to 6 months to fill the position with the right candidate for the company.

Alternatively, the manager may be taking a fixed-term secondment into another department or on paternity leave.

Whichever it is, the sales team’s motivation, stability and long-term productivity can be adversely affected and the temporary, caretaking manager’s workload and stress levels increased exponentially!

 

The Solution

In large companies there is often enough resource available to cover these sales management vacancies reasonably painlessly, either with senior sales people or another field sales manager from another team.

However, smaller organisations can be relatively more stretched to achieve this satisfactorily, with the extra workload on the remaining members of staff being particularly onerous.

NETMAN™ is a contract hire field sales management service, which consists of a UK network of specialist, highly trained, pharmaceutical sales managers who are available for contract hire to cover such vacancies.

All NETMAN™ managers are handpicked individuals who have had extremely successful careers as first-line sales managers in the pharmaceutical industry with exceptional results, both in the community and hospital-selling environment. Several members of the network have also had demonstrable success as training managers or second-line managers as well.

The network has experience across all of the major therapeutic areas.

 

The Benefits

• Immediate salesforce administrative cover

• Minimised loss of salesforce productivity, stability and motivation

Logistics

Every NETMAN™ Manager is equipped with their own car, office (including telephone and fax facilities), mobile telephone and portable computer (which can be loaded with the client’s software if required).

The contract hire can be on a full-time or part-time basis, for a flexible period from half a day to six months.

The contract hire costs range between £400 - £550 per day depending upon the length of the contract. This excludes all expenses (telephone expenses, postage, printing, photocopying, hire of meeting rooms and/or equipment, etc.), Manager’s travel, and living expenses. These are charged to the client at the incurred cost, with the exception of mileage, which is charged at the relevant AA rate.
