AMT ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT TRAINING For the Life Sciences Industry November 17 19, 2015 Dana Point, California Register at DRG-Events.com
DEAR COLLEAGUE, The position of Managed Care Account Manager has changed dramatically over the years. The days of on-the-job training have been over for some time. Pharmacy Directors, Medical Directors, and other decision makers in Managed Care Organizations demand an account manager who understands their organization, contracting and pricing philosophy, and how products affect the bottom line. The big question is, how do you get a relatively new (let s say 0 12 months) account manager to successfully call on PBMs, Public and Private Payers, Specialty Pharmacy, IDNs/ACOs among other organizations that are critical to your company s success? They are dealing with complexities that can overwhelm them reimbursement strategies, benefit designs, formularies, multiple decision makers, interventions, incentives, and the list goes on! We have designed a practical, comprehensive training program, which focuses on familiarizing account managers with their responsibilities. Our knowledgeable faculty is outstanding! Your account managers will learn from their customers and experienced consultants. They will leave with knowledge, techniques, and confidence to successfully work with their managed care accounts. Attendance is limited to ensure maximum participation, so please register early. Yours in training, Tony Pinsonault Vice President, Sales Training Decision Resources Group PROGRAM FACULTY. James T.
