The Sales Force Effectiveness Japan Conference 2006 was a real success, with over 200 senior-level attendees. Almost every pharmaceutical company in Japan had at least one attendee present. Some companies had more than 10 attendees present.

The incredible response was no real surprise – as well as an agenda which was designed by sales managers from around Japan, the conference had the most expert and prestigious speakers including Dr Aoki (Chairman, Astellas Pharma Inc), Mr Nagayama (CEO, Chugai Pharma Co Ltd), Mr Matsutani (Chairman, Toho Pharmaceutical Co Ltd), Mr Hatanaka (former CEO & President, Yamanouchi Europe) and Mr Takada (Managing Director, Daiichi Pharmaceuticals).

We also had expert Sales & Marketing Managers, including Mr Feldman (VP Sales & Marketing, Banyu), Mr Takeda (Head of Sales Operations, Pfizer)
