Yeah, which specific skills would I need. I have the sales experience, inside and outside. I hear they do hire entry level sometimes and pay can reach up close to 70, 80k range. Am I at an advantage for being med-level experience wise?
If you've worked in sales I think you've probably have an idea of what it'll be like.
He said getting to know the patients is important. Keeping up with their progress and any new drugs relevant to their conditions and what not.
He was an entry level hire. No previous experience. Just a friendly dude who had been around the reps for a while and got lucky.
He's been on both sides of that range depending of if he was selling full or part time. One of those things were there is very little that you NEED to do after the first year and a half, but the more you do, the higher commissions will be. Lot of traveling that first year.
Sales experience is always going to be a plus but keep in mind you're dealing with a different clientele. Sick children, cancer patients, very rare and debilitating diseases we haven't heard much about. Being warm is as important as being knowledgeable.
On the downside: can be pretty competitive. Backstabbing and that whole deal. Folks will try to damage your reputation to steal clients. Not sure if it's like that in other markets but he made note of that.
And, more importantly, you've gotta know your stuff. You're dealing with people's lives and unfortunately there is money to be made off of selling people product that may not be the best for their health. Don't know about numbers but some patients are definitely getting stuff that is unnecessary and costly. That's pretty low to me but that's how it works I guess.
Good luck. Hopefully we'll break into it at the same time.
