For medical and pharmacy reps in Saudi Arabia

Field Booklets

19 short booklets. Each one covers one job in a rep’s day, to fill in by hand and carry in the bag.

Built on the Saudi market: its cities, pharmacies, clinics and the SFDA promotion code. Numbered one-line orders, forms to fill in every day, and situations to practise before you meet them. Every booklet comes in Arabic and in English.

The method

One idea runs through every booklet: the right call

A right call brings three things together. Each booklet comes back to it from the angle of a role: the clinic, the hospital, the shelf, the team, or the next step in a career.

1

Right customer

Who to visit, who to postpone, and why.

2

Right frequency

How often in the cycle, and in what order.

3

Right objective

Why you go in, and what you ask for before you leave.

One line per order

Every chapter ends with numbered orders, and a one-page list of the ten orders cuts out and stays with you.

Fill it in by hand

A fillable PDF on phone or laptop, or printed: tables, checklists and a self-test.

Your market

Examples from Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam and Abha, illustrative figures in riyals, and SFDA rules cited by article number.

A source behind every idea

A QR code on the page leads to a video or article that explains the idea from its source.

The series

19 booklets in five groups

In preparation

The Egypt edition, for Egyptian medical reps

The same method on the Egyptian market: Egyptian Drug Authority rules, Egypt’s cities and pharmacies, and figures in Egyptian pounds. No date yet. Sign up and you get one email when it is ready.

One email when it is ready, nothing before.

Independent training material. It draws on the SFDA code and cites its articles, but it is not an SFDA publication and is not tied to any pharmaceutical company. Figures in the booklets are illustrative.

Form details are kept only to contact you about the booklets and are not shared with anyone.
