"We are pleased to have had the opportunity to address this timely topic at the SPBT conference," Floyd noted. "In these exciting and tumultuous times for the pharmaceutical industry, it is critical to design training tools and facilitate learning processes that foster learner-led learning and ultimately enhance sales-force impact." The specific topics addressed during the two sessions included the following: (1) methods for inviting dialogue and engagement, (2) applied principles of dialogue-based influence to leadership, training, and sales, and (3) effective sales-force training.

"We have found that true peer influence, in which there is interactive discussion among professional equals compared to didactic presentations, offers an improved way to sustainably influence prescribers," noted Bresette. "This conference was an excellent opportunity to share a unique peer influence model that is sparking tremendous interest among pharmaceutical marketers seeking higher ROI solutions for their brands."
