Nelson Professional Sales

Nelson Professional Sales (NPS) was a prominent contract sales organization (CSO) that provided outsourced sales and marketing services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device industries. The company specialized in the recruitment, training, and management of field sales forces, offering both dedicated and syndicated teams to promote healthcare products to physicians and hospitals. Originally a division of Nelson Communications, NPS was a pioneer in the CSO model, enabling life science companies to scale their commercial operations flexibly. Following the acquisition of Nelson Communications by Publicis Groupe in 2000, the organization was integrated into Publicis Health and eventually evolved into Publicis Touchpoint Solutions.
