One
of the most important responsibilities of sales representatives is to provide
timely information on Taisho products to the pharmacists and specialists who
are in direct contact with consumers. Taisho has a sales force of about 900
representatives covering the entire country. Along with pharmacies and drugstores,
these representatives provide information and meticulous service to all of
Taisho's sales channels, including general retailers such as convenience stores
and supermarkets. In its advertising and promotions, Taisho uses such media
as television and radio to ensure recognition and understanding of Taisho products,
paying attention to the clarity and familiarity of the message and company
image.
