A Discussion Panel
In a resource-constrained environment, business acumen is more important than ever before. But what does business acumen look like for sales reps and their managers? How do we help our salespeople learn to think strategically, take ownership of their territories, proactively identify opportunities for growth, and more effectively target brand resources in order to increase customer value and grow the business? During this panel discussion we will explore the latest research and best practices for helping managers and salespeople systematically apply business acumen and social intelligence to driving better business and patient outcomes.
