Certain companies with retail products opt for the services of a broker to ensure the effectiveness of their sales force. It's an alternative that offers a number of advantages while reducing costs.

Indeed, managing a sales force often overloads managers while significantly increasing expenses. Each sales representative has to cover a vast territory to maintain a constant presence at points of sale. Travel, lodging, and meal expenses; salaries and commissions; training, supervision, and motivation all combine to create real brain-teasers for many managers that can be quite costly.

Groupe Services Pharmactifs really uses its head in taking brokerage to heart. Each of our representatives has expertise and enthusiasm that account, to a large extent, for the undeniable success of our sales force. LSP, Groupe Services Pharmactifs's brokerage division, has been active in Quebec since 1986 and specializes in pharmaceuticals and health/beauty products. In serving more than 1500 points of sale, LSP's many representatives travel the length and breadth of the province, making more than 9000 visits per year.
