Notas do Editor
What is the status of CRM in the pharmaceutical industry today? Why does the pharmaceutical industry need CRM? What are the Critical Success Factors for CRM in the pharmaceutical industry 2003-05? What makes a good CRM Manager
Are there multiple “Touch Points” of interactions within BMS? ETMS- Sales Rep Clinical trials Medical information Symposiums Call centre Web, email Are you leveraging the information/knowledge gained from these interactions?
