As a Pharmacist, I have engaged myself with the world of Pharmacy particularly Drug Procurement and Drug Dispensing tailored specifically to user needs. Taking on the course again ignited new passions due to some similarities I discovered. One of which is the diversity of the Product Manager role as the responsibilities of a Product Manager changes across different industries and different companies. Another is Communication, one of the star qualities of a Pharmacist is being a communicator, a Product Manager, is a communicator that fits together all pieces after getting feedback from everyone. Good day. Day 1/x.

In recent years I see a lack of creativity in Pakistani Pharmaceutical Industry. Specifically the national companies. Over and over again the same theme and same DNA used for product launches and for annual sales meet up. It has just become like a DCR of a medical representative on which only the date changes. Mainly, industry is run by old fixed minds. They are still stuck into their era when they were Med Reps or Area Managers. They still see the industry with the same vision, if they had one. In most of the companies the so called product managers or brand managers are acting just like secretaries. Most of them don’t even know ABC of pharmaceutical marketing. The industry needs fresh minds, people with highest level of intellect not just sales numbers. Product Managers should have at least 5 to 10 years of field experience before posting as a PM.

A product manager is a middle manager within the pharmaceutical companies, responsible for: Successfully bringing new products (or services/brands) to market Ensuring the ongoing success of existing products over their lifecycle Orchestrating all functional areas that impact the development, manufacturing, sales, and support of products. Responsibilities of product managers Inbound Responsibilities (Creating value) –Understand customer needs and requirements –Understand the market and competition for the product –Research feature enhancements and upgrades for future releases –Create Marketing Requirements Document (MRD) –Create the product release plan  –Help to develop product roadmap and competitive positioning –Work with development, testing, and QA to ensure that product meets requirements and stays within schedule Outbound Responsibilities(Communicate value) –Manage product launch –Support marketing with outbound marketing communication and PR –Support sales with product training, demos, customer presentations, data sheets, competitive positioning –Support sales on key customer deals and accompany sales personnel on key customer visits –Monitor and improve customer satisfaction https://lnkd.in/dAAc64Dh #sales #productmarketing #productmanagement #positioning #productsupport

Having worked in the pharma industry for over 7yrs, I realised that each role has so much to offer in terms of the learning. However, it is a very common practice that whenever you join a new organization, you are always rushed to learn more about your responsibilities rather than dive deep to learn how actually the industry is functioning. In one of my experiences with an organization where i was working as a Project Coordinator, I was always intrigued to learn about the work that the other team is doing. For e.g., I would see my colleague from the Medical Affairs team, visit the DCGI office with a bundle of documents and I would always wonder what those documents are and what is it’s relevance with the work that I am doing. When I started researching things on my own, I realised that this industry has so much more to offer that I barely know 20% about. Having said that, my major takeaway was that in a rush to meet deadlines and meet your KPIs, do not forget to interact and ask questions to your coworkers on the set of things they are doing, because knowledge is everywhere and the biggest exposure you can get is from the job itself. #pharmaceutical #learning #corporatejourney
