RALEIGH, N.C., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Campbell Alliance, the leading management consulting firm specializing in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, announced today that George Schmidt, Vice President in the firm's Sales Practice, will present a workshop at the EyeForPharma Sales Force Effectiveness (SFE) conference.

Mr. Schmidt's 90-minute workshop, titled "Positioning Sales Training as a Strategic Leader in Your Organization," is scheduled for Thursday, April 3 at 3:05 pm and is placed in the "Training & Development" track. The workshop will examine the strategic role sales training departments play within the larger commercial organization and suggest strategies to identify the training needs associated with the business- and selling-environment challenges faced by their sales forces.

effectiveness, resource allocation, marketing strategy, and product
positioning. Mr. Schmidt leads the sales training specialty area within the
