1. MY CAREER IN PHARMICUTICAL SALES
By: Sean Smith

2. The requirements I will need to obviously need a high school degree.
I will need at least a Bachelors Degree in business, which I will get at Chico state.
I will also need to go through a 6 month training period where they will see if I can do the job.

3. Training Process
The training is harder than training for normal sales because even though its an entry level job it has an annual pay of $100,000. During the training I have to shadow an experienced Drug Rep. who will hopefully give me pointers on selling to doctors. Which is hard to do because doctors are stubborn.

4. Getting the job
I have to make the right connections with people from the producer I want to work for
I also have to look very professional for the interview because I’ll be part of the medical community
I also have to develop extremely good people skills because I have to appear to want what the doctor wants.

5. The difference between the 2
Trainee
Full time rep
A shadow to the actual rep
Still doesn’t have a set salary until they meet their first quota
The person that teaches someone how to do the job
They usually have a set salary but for some companies it also depends on if their quota’s meet
