Staff training programs
Product knowledge, induction into the role, standards of work behind the counter, short 5–15 minute sessions.
Pharmacy staff
development
I design and launch training and incentive systems for counter staff at manufacturers, distributors and pharmacy chains. Results are checked against sales.
Where the business loses money
Many buyers of OTC medicines ask the counter staff for advice, and the answer shapes what they buy and how much they spend.
Counter staff don't know the product.
Staff shortages: a new hire takes far too long to reach normal output.
One-off webinars don't move sales.
A one-off bonus doesn't work for long.
Only one combination works:

What I Do
From training programs to measuring the result in sales.
Incentive systems
Targets and bonuses, competitions between pharmacies and between the chain's staff, retention — all tied to sales.
Product training
For manufacturers: product training for counter staff, with completion and knowledge checks.
Corporate programs for chains
A single distance-learning system, induction, assessments and shared standards across the chain.
Leaders & talent pipeline
Programs for pharmacy managers and supervisors: management skills, mentoring and building the chain's talent pipeline.
Measuring the result
Sales dynamics by line and category, average basket, share of recommendations, staff engagement.
How It Works
From diagnostics to fine-tuning by the numbers.
Diagnostics
The task, point A, the metrics.
Program design
Methodology, content, motivation mechanics.
Launch
On training platforms and channels that reach the pharmacies you need.
Measure & fine-tune
I assess the result by the numbers and fine-tune the programme.
Who It's For
For manufacturers, distributors and pharmacy chains.
Manufacturers
Train the counter staff on the product and measure its share of recommendations.
Distributors
Training for the staff of client pharmacies, growing turnover across the portfolio.
Pharmacy chains
Getting new hires productive quickly, shared standards, a higher average basket.
Why Me
Training and incentives at the counter were always part of the commercial task for me, never a separate cost line.
18 years in the pharmaceutical industry
Commercial and marketing director across the whole supply chain — from the manufacturer to the counter. I judge training by the same indicators as sales.
Motivation tied to business results
I set up bonuses and competitions so that what an employee earns depends on the pharmacy's profit, not on formal activity.
Control through sales
I judge the result of training and incentives by margin, average basket and sales by line, and change the programme if the indicators don't grow.
Engagement and fees work the same as for the other practice areas. Diagnostics and projects are fixed-fee; ongoing support is a fixed amount per month. Result metrics are agreed in writing before the start. Details are in Engagements, and the ground rules in Principles. The first 30–40 minute conversation is free.
