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

Most sales reps are familiar with 30-60-90-Day Sales Plans, but unbelievably, not all of them bring one to their job 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:
