You also need to understand advantage and disadvantage of all marketing types. Read in detail: What are the drawbacks/advantages of generic/ethical/pcd/Franchise marketing ?
For increasing sale, you have two option, Either you can generate prescription from more doctors or you can broad your area of work by appointing sub pcd/franchise distributors. Read here about: Types of pcd/franchise distributors.
Purchase from company at net price basis and add some percentage of your profit and supply to your sub distributors and they will generate prescription from doctor’s.
One more option to increase your sale. You can build-up medical representative team and launch your company in other districts also.
