News Recently, reporters learned from the annual work summary meeting of pharmaceutical sales company terminals and agency sales that this year's sales company has changed greatly compared with previous years, and has made adjustments in marketing mode, customer management form, sales area division, marketing distribution mode, etc.

In recent years, with the development of the pharmaceutical industry, the national two-vote system has brought about great changes in the pharmaceutical business, and 4+7 volume procurement has brought about great changes in the marketing mode. However, there are some problems in the terminal and agency markets of sales companies, such as relatively single product and customer channels, high market concentration, weak market development ability, and slow volume increase of inherent channels and newly developed hospitals. To this end, the sales company in order to adapt to the new situation, timely adjustment of the marketing model, enhance the ability to expand the market.

2019 , for Zhejiang terminal market, the sales company divided into 20 project packages by region according to the market business scope. 22 salesmen of the terminal office bid at the meeting site and paid the corresponding deposit. The positions of managers in each office remain unchanged, and the amount of development hospitals and original products has been increased. This is also the first time that Zhejiang terminal has tried to adjust its business by bidding. Through bidding by salesmen, it can stimulate the maximum energy of salesmen and ensure the substantial quantity of terminal sales.

Agency, the sales company will stabilize large customers, subdivide small customers as the focus of work, the agency marketing team model has been changed, set up a large customer service manager and small customer service manager. The major customer service manager is responsible for centralized management and service of major customers and maintaining the quantity of major customers. The small account manager continues to dig into the market, find new agents and maintain the quantity work of other customers. Through big data analysis, the sales company divides customers into large customers and small customers according to the amount of annual sales. Customers with low-price sales of 2018 greater than or equal to 55 are classified into large customer areas of the company, and the rest are classified into small customer areas. Major customers in various provinces and regions are divided into five major customer service areas in East China, South China, Southwest China, Northwest China and North China and one major customer area directly managed by the company, the regional manager who has done the most in the original region acts as the first candidate for the key account manager in the region, and talks about the sales volume of the key account. At the same time, the sales company merged several small customer sales areas, and finally decided on the regional small account manager through bidding.

In addition, the pharmaceutical sales company will also take Sichuan Chongqing, Jiangsu and Shandong as the pilot areas of the commission system to develop the third terminal market and do a good job of market segmentation and sinking. At the same time of attracting investment, local agents are encouraged to transform into terminals, reduce intermediate links, and return the profits of agents to agents in the form of commissions. The sales target in the pilot area consists of two objectives and tasks: investment promotion and commission system. Double assessment is implemented to supplement and implement the commission system sales target. The original small account manager can double span and have priority. If the small account manager in the original area does not accept it, the company will directly employ a special person to be responsible for the commission system sales in the outdoor market except the existing small customers in the area. With the development of the pharmaceutical industry, driven by new policies such as the national two-vote system and 4+7 volume purchasing, the implementation of commission sales will be conducive to the clarity of market sales and the accuracy of assessment, fundamentally curb the behavior of fleeing goods, strengthen the control of the sales company over the market, and be more conducive to the transformation of the self-management mode of later sales, the promotion of new products and the academic promotion of products. Jiang Xiaomeng, chairman of

group company and chairman of pharmaceutical company, said that the adjustment of marketing mode of terminal and agent is aimed at changing the inherent thinking of salesmen and regional managers, subdividing the market and customers with innovative thinking, making it bigger and stronger, and making it more precise. The goal is to achieve substantial growth in overall sales. (Ni Yingzhen Xu Yuting)

What is "4+7 Quantity Purchase"?

volume procurement is proposed on the basis of centralized procurement, which means that when bidding or negotiating prices in the process of centralized drug procurement, the purchase quantity should be clearly defined so that enterprises can quote for specific drug quantities. This procurement method of clear procurement volume is called volume procurement, and it is also the goal that China's drug procurement has been striving to achieve for many years.

Simply put, volume procurement can be understood as a large-scale "group purchase". The purchase volume is clear, and the low-priced bidder wins the bid. Volume procurement can play a role of exchanging volume for price through market-oriented bidding among enterprises, thus reducing the price of purchased drugs.

Shanghai has already made 3 belt purchases. The China Merchants Securities Research Report pointed out that Shanghai 2018 announced the third belt purchase in 6 in February, purchasing a total of 20 varieties, and giving Shanghai 50% market share to the winning enterprises, enterprises that have not won the bid can only share the remaining 50% market share. However, the state-promoted 11 city belt purchases also give 60% ~ 70% of the market share of to the winning enterprises, while other enterprises can only share the remaining 30% ~ 40% of .

"4+7 " refers to the pilot city for this volume purchase.

November March 14 , the fifth meeting of the Central Committee for Comprehensively Deepening Reform deliberated and approved the "Pilot Program for Centralized Procurement of Drugs Organized by the State", which clarified the general idea of national organization, alliance procurement and platform operation. The joint procurement office composed of representatives from 11 pilot regions issued the "centralized procurement document of 4+7 city drugs" on 11 September 15 .

According to the procurement documents, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenyang, Dalian, Xiamen, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi 'an 11 cities ( means 4+7 cities ) will conduct a pilot project of centralized drug procurement organized by the state. The pilot area appoints representatives to form a joint procurement office as a working organization to implement centralized procurement on behalf of public medical institutions in the pilot area. The

document published a list of 31 procurement varieties.

The way to determine the varieties selected in this "4+7 with quantity purchase" is that if the declared enterprise is greater than or equal to 3 , the lowest bidder wins the bid; If there are more than one enterprise with the lowest price, then the enterprise with large sales volume in 11 118 city won the bid before, if the declared enterprise is 2 , the lowest bidder enters the pre-winning list. If there are only 1 declared enterprises, the enterprise will enter the pre-winning list. In this way, only 1 enterprises of each variety enter the pre-winning list. For the enterprises in the pre-bid list, they are ranked according to the price reduction range: the top ( does not exceed 7 ) wins the bid directly, and other pre-bid varieties carry out price negotiation: refer to the average price reduction of the declared enterprises greater than or equal to 3 winning varieties, and determine the lowest price reduction in price negotiation.

This "4+7 Volume Purchase" takes 12 months from the execution date of the results as a purchase cycle. If the agreed purchase quantity is completed in advance of the purchase cycle, the excess will still be purchased at the selected price until the expiration of the purchase cycle.
