Common Questions Before You Start
General
This is the #1 fear for first-timers.
The reality: Profit margins can range from 20% to 50% on most products, making it a lucrative business venture. The PCD franchise segment is growing at 12–15% annually, driven by rising chronic diseases and massively underserved Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
Many assume pharma requires huge capital.The reality: One can start a PCD Pharma Franchise with an initial investment of ₹0 to ₹3,00,000. You can start with as little as ₹0 to ₹1,00,000 depending on the company, territory, and product range selected — this figure includes your initial product order, documentation costs, and basic marketing expenses. Promotional materials are often provided free of cost. How to gain confidence: Start small with 3–4 products in one therapeutic segment. Scale only after 12 months of your first few doctors start prescribing regularly.
It is not complicated. You just require a proof of minimum 2-3 years experience as a medical representative.
This is a practical worry, especially for non-MR backgrounds. If you have 2-3 years of experience then easily you can approach doctors.
The reality: Once the product is on a doctor's prescription pad, it ensures long-term profit from that product. Building this takes 3–6 months of consistent visits.
How to gain confidence: Start with 5–10 doctors in your area. Use the visual aids and LBLs provided by the company. Understand the needs of the doctor. Build one relationship at a time — the snowball effect is real in pharma.
Many assume PCD pharma requires many products or some speciality products..
The reality: One should start a PCD Pharma Franchise with 3 to 4 general products.
How to gain confidence: Start by building confidence and practical experience through 3–4 products in the general segment. Learn the fundamentals of selling, payment handling, and collections. After gaining around 6 months of market experience, gradually expand into specialized therapeutic segments. Scale your business only after your initial group of doctors begins prescribing your products consistently and regularly.
Without promotional materials, reaching doctors and chemists is much harder. But most of the time the PCD pharma business depends on the strong relationship you have built over the years, with your work. Though the promotional materials, help you to some extent, the entire business depends on your hard work and relationship with doctors and medical shops.
Don’t be in a hurry. Move slowly. Learn every steps in PCD Pharma franchise. Then, you can invest more money, after you get continuous success & confidence.
Just One thing. Payments: Findout a way how you can get the payments faster from the Chemists. Discount the bill and try to get the payment in 1 or 2 days. The more the delay the chances of getting success will slow down. You need to work with lot of patience and caution. Remember time is money.
Don’t get carried away by what others talk, suggestions. Remember, the more the number of products, more the investment. Most of the time, every month, all the products will not get sold. You will be left with unsold stocks.
