Description

If you sell solutions to pharma—and into hospitals, payers, or procurement—this course gives you a complete, claim-safe operating system to win adoption ethically and at scale. We start with how medicines move from R&D → Regulatory → Pricing & Reimbursement → Launch → LCM, then map the real buying center: Medical Affairs vs Sales, Market Access, Pharmacy, Procurement, Finance, and Legal—plus the decision forums (P&T, value analysis, ICB/ICS, hospital committees).

You will translate HEOR into messages payers actually score, design pricing structures (list vs net, caps, PAS/MEAs, price protection), and navigate US PBM/IDN/GPO and EU/UK tenders (MEAT, frameworks, mini-competitions). We give you discovery frameworks adapted to compliance, tender narratives that earn quality points with auditable SLAs, and negotiation tools (MESO packages, pre-wire with champions and finance sponsors) that bind variance without risking Best Price/ERP.

The course is packed with ready-to-paste assets: policy text for initiation/renewal/monitoring, SLA clauses with credits and audit rights, BIM/ROI one-pagers, order-set and model-claim checklists, and post-signature governance dashboards to protect outcomes and margin. Whether you’re selling specialty drugs support, technology, services, devices, or data, you’ll leave with a proven, step-by-step playbook to sell into the pharmaceutical industry—cleanly, compliantly, and with repeatable results.

Enjoy this journey!
