Ideally, a medical sales career opportunity candidate has a clinical or scientific background plus sales experience.  BUT, there’s always an exception to the rule–and in this case, there are many.  I help pathology sales job seekers from all kinds of revenue backgrounds (with no clinical laboratory experience at all) break into the pharmaceutical sales field.  There are [...] Related posts:

Most sales reps are familiar with 30-60-90-Day Sales Plans, but unbelievably, not all of ‘em bring one to their career opportunity interviews.  As a medical sales recruiter, I push all my candidates to create a 30-60-90-day plan for each job interview, and that’s one of the reasons my candidates are so consistently successful.  In candidate comparisons, [...] Related posts:
