By 1999 patents had expiration on several Dermatology products and the business decision was made to have 60% of the selling activity of this 126 member specialty force spent promoting GSK Respiratory products to Pediatricians. I successfully directed my representatives focus in both Dermatology and Pediatric offices ending the year as the top district in the division in sales growth of respiratory products. Visa mindre Moved from Chicago IL to Raleigh NC as I advanced to the position of Manager Sales & Marketing Administration.
