Providing Sales Force Augmentation and Vacant Territory Services
SOMERSET, NJ – September 18, 2007 – Pharmagistics—the premier provider of direct marketing, PDMA compliance, and specialty logistics for the biopharmaceutical industry—and Arista Marketing Associates—the premier provider of real-time remote prescriber dialogue for biopharma—today jointly announced a significant new business win. Pharmagistics and Arista are both Publicis Healthcare Communications Group companies.
“We are very excited about the implementation of this innovative solution for one of our current clients,” notes Bill Pollock, CEO and President of Pharmagistics. “Our client had three business challenges they needed to address. They needed to augment their field sales efforts in major markets, increase their reach and frequency with currently non-targeted prescribers, and to reach key physicians when territories were vacant due to turnover or disability. This unique solution addresses all of these business issues for our client.”
Arista will be providing Inside Sales Representatives to augment sales efforts, as well as to provide coverage during vacancies. Arista’s Inside Sales Teams reach prescribers via the phone and Internet. Pharmagistics will be fulfilling requests generated for samples, literature, and clinical papers. The project will launch in September to an initial physician audience of 6,000 prescribers.
“This is the first fully integrated project Arista and Pharmagistics will be jointly implementing,” states Shelley Spencer, COO and President of Arista. “The integrated solutions Arista and Pharmagistics can now jointly offer as affiliate companies create synergy and real value for our clients.”
