(7) Key promotion techniques to improve the profitability of pharmacies: Imperfect operation and management of pharmacies lead to the loss of customers 1. The pharmaceutical retail industry is different from other retail industries. The quality of service provided by clerks to customers cannot be simply judged. It is determined by the clerk’s service attitude towards customers, and more importantly, it needs to be reflected in the clerk’s level of medical expertise. The so-called convincing people with reason is to make the clerk's recommendations and introductions more professional. First, customers must recognize your professionalism, and then they may recognize your service attitude. 2. Due to the negative impact of non-standard and unreasonable recommendation behaviors on consumers that are common in the pharmaceutical retail industry, and with the development of social economy, people’s medical and health knowledge has become richer, consumers’ ability to identify things has improved, and clerks’ negative attitude towards customers The recommendation work requires more skill and rationality. Studying consumers' drug-purchasing mentality and improving store staff's product recommendation skills are the keys to successfully recommending high-margin products. 3. In addition to the profit index requirements, the standards for high-margin products selected by drugstore managers are generally categories with large market sales of such products.

When making recommendations, do not immediately ask customers to give up the medicines they have chosen. Make a reasonable comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the products between the products chosen by the customers and the products you want to recommend, and use professional knowledge to increase the scientificity and rationality of your recommendations. Sexual, such customers cannot be forcefully recommended. For customers who have not decided which medicine to buy for a certain disease, you can focus on recommending high-margin products to customers, especially the immediate benefits that the product can bring to customers. It is mainly introduced to customers. For geriatric patients, we should pay attention to the low price of drugs; for housewives, we should pay attention to the cost-effectiveness of drugs; for young people, we should pay attention to the efficacy of products and brand awareness and reputation. For housewives and the elderly, we should also pay attention to the recommendation of other household medicines. 2.

When purchasing, be sure to pay attention to the customer's sensitivity to product price.During the operation, you can also join forces with the manufacturer's salespersons, who will call in doctors or experts.

Experts on diseases and medicines provide customers with truly meaningful medication guidance. It also publicly and regularly introduces the treatment and medication status of this disease at home and abroad. 10. Train salespeople to be experts on medicines and common diseases: Drug sales are characterized by substituting medicine for medicines, having many prospective customers, and having special service language requirements: (1). Salespeople must be regularly educated and tested on medical knowledge. In particular, drug use and storage knowledge education, (2). Sales performance and rewards are truly linked; (3) Service quality and rewards are truly linked, and indicators and evaluation methods are set that consumers can easily evaluate the service quality of salespersons.

Carry out good internal management to ensure that products are out of stock: the size of sales is directly related to whether the product is out of stock, especially the varieties that are often purchased by type A customers. Once out of stock, it means that customers may switch to competing pharmacies. products. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the weekly or monthly sales of some common drugs to ensure continuous supply. 13. Follow the advertisements to sell popular drugs: pay attention to subscribing to a local mainstream media. As soon as a new drug advertisement is published in the local newspaper, contact the distribution unit to purchase the goods. And use billboards to inform customers to prevent some customers from being affected by advertisements but unable to find medicines in your pharmacy. 2.

In fact, what seems to be "not good" is precisely the store manager's lack of control. 9. Teacher. Some store managers often complain that current employees are not as obedient as before and the level of management is not good enough. The reason is often attributed to insufficient training by the company's human resources department. In fact, the best training for store employees or grassroots management is on-site training—guidance at any time and anywhere. The store manager should also summarize his long-term experience into a systematic teaching material. This is a way for the store manager to improve himself. At the same time, store managers cultivate talents, which is a good way to establish workplace relationships. In short, a store manager who cannot train people is not a good store manager. 10.
