Description
Nearly five billion times a day, Procter & Gamble brands touch the lives of people around the world. Our corporate tradition is rooted in the principles of personal integrity, respect for the individual and doing what is right in the long term.
Oral-B has an impressive reputation for the development of innovative, market leading oral health care products which consistently delight the consumer and challenge current thinking. These principles are key to the work carried out by the Territory Managers of the Oral-B Professional Team.
Role Overview
The role of the Territory Manager (TM) is a critical first point of contact with Dental health Professionals & Dental undergraduates as the role represents the face of Oral B and the broader Procter & Gamble Company to these key influencers. You will use the latest technology-based presenting tools, visit all community-based dental practices and some hospital units primarily by car, and work with your professional customers to drive usage and recommendation of Oral-B products. Occasionally slight changes to your area may be made as the business develops; this therefore requires excellent organisation and time management skills.
Key responsibilities
The key responsibility of the TM is to ensure that Dental Professionals (such as dentists, hygienists) use and recommend Oral B products to their patients. You will be fully responsible for your territory accounts and be part of a unit team of up to 10 other TM’s. You will need to influence a certain number of professionals per day and secure their engagement and commitment to using our educational tools within their practices (e.g. electric brushing demonstration units and educational leaflets). You may often (although not exclusively) encourage and support practices to stock and sell our products (available to them via 3rd party dental wholesalers). You will work with all relevant professional customers on your territory to ensure you create brand loyalty for the DCP’s of the present and future.
Whilst the principle focus will be on the science based influencing of Dental Health Professionals at practice level, you will also be required to present at Dental Institutions and occasionally attend Congresses, Trade Fairs and Scientific Exchanges (occasionally out of normal working hours). The influence of owners of multiple Dental Practices, NHS Primary Care Trust (PCT's / CCG’s) and other high leverage contact points may be included as an important strategic element of the role.
Additional aspects of the work include the legitimate and ethical gathering and reporting of competitive activity, securing agreement for Oral-B branded material to be used in the practice and the sale of product.
Location: as field-based, the area to cover are:
- Guildford/Portsmouth
- Brighton/Redhill/Tonbridge
Qualifications
