1. What can Vanguard Pharma offer our company?

Vanguard Pharma is engaged in the business of providing flexible and cost effective salesforce solutions to the U.S. and Canadian pharmaceutical industry. We can internally recruit, train, manage and administer national salesforces to supplement your company's own salesforce efforts. We are also able to offer "representative placements" to ensure that territories are not left vacant due to maternity leaves, illness leaves or any other applicable situations.

2. I'm concerned that the quality of a contract representative won't be as high as my own sales people.

At Vanguard Pharma, we've taken every step possible to ensure that our representatives are of the highest caliber possible and the quality is no different from what you would expect from your own representatives. Some of our quality assurances are as follows:

   · A rigorous multi-tiered interview and recruitment process
   · Representatives must pass product knowledge/selling skills examinations to the same standard
     as your own representatives
   · We request "on-the-job" training with members of your own field force
   · A committed salesforce management and administrative support system is in place.
   · Our guarantee: if for any reason you are not satisfied with the performance of a given 
     Vanguard Pharma representative within 30 days you may have that representative replaced
     at no expense to you.

3. How is contract sales cost effective?

Think "half-price". Vanguard Pharma rates for a dedicated program are approximately half of what doing the same internally would cost. Why? There is no permanent hiring obligation with Vanguard Pharma and much of the sales-related overhead, administrative costs, and representative expenses are controlled more directly by us.

4. What is the sales and marketing expertise behind Vanguard Pharma Management?

Our management team has extensive experience in pharmaceutical sales and marketing, having worked in some capacity with most of the major pharmaceutical firms, in every major therapeutic category, and in a wide variety of product situations (Rx, OTC, launches of new and mature products etc). 

5. May we hire your representatives and effectively convert them to become employees of our own company?

By using Vanguard Pharma, our clients gain a tremendous opportunity to assess our representative individually or en masse for future hiring needs. Who better to hire in your own organization than someone who is already experienced in selling your company's products? Vanguard Pharma provides such a "feeder system" to you…at a fraction of the cost of recruiting via placement agencies. One recent Vanguard client "inherited" 50% of our contract representatives who were hired on permanently as part of a client expansion.
