Considering Making Pharmaceutical Sales Careers Audio Multi CD
January 29th, 2010Currently, my audio version of “How To Get A Dream Job In Pharmaceutical Sales – Direct Inside Advice and Guidance From A Sales Manager” is on a single CD with multiple MP3 files. This CD works with all computers and most DVD players that support the MP3 format. However, MP3 CDs typically do not work in most car audio players or stand alone CD players unless they are build to take MP3s as well as standard audio files.
I’m considering on making this pharmaceutical sales careers audio program into a multi CD set. However, since the program is about 5.5 hours long, such a set would require up to six separate CDs in order to accommodate the entire audio content. In order to be able to be played in car audio players, standard audio files rather than MP3s will have to be used and they take much more space on CDs than compressed MP3s. A multi CD set will be more labor intensive to produce and this will be reflected in a slightly higher price for the program.
I’ll make a decision on whether to stay with the single MP3 CD or move into a multi CD set soon. In the meantime, if you have any thoughts on this, please feel free to leave some comments.
Online Pet Pharmacy Effect On Pharmaceutical Sales
January 24th, 2010I just wrote an article on using an online pet pharmacy to save money on pet medications for my dogs. Then I remembered when the entire internet pharmacy revolution first started when I was still in the pharmaceutical industry. At that time, the first internet pharmacies were based in Canada. Many Americans were ordering from these Canadian based internet pharmacies in order to save money on their prescriptions.
This was an interesting situation because the Canadian divisions of multinational pharmaceutical companies benefited from the extra sales. However, the US divisions of the same companies were not so happy since technically, they lost sales to the Canadian offices.
Even within Canada, there was an effect. Many Canadian patients started to order their prescriptions from these internet pharmacies which were located mainly in the province of Manitoba. Therefore, sales budgets went out of whack because the pharmaceutical representatives in Manitoba ended up with all these sales at the expense of lost sales from the other provinces. A lot of juggling and number crunching has to be done in order to present fairness to all of the sales forces within Canada as well as the US.
Now that there are now online pet pharmacies, I wonder if they are having a similar effect that the internet pharmacies for humans had. I would think with North Americans being avid pet owners, that the would be interesting effects as a result of the emergence of the online pet pharmacy on pharmaceutical sales budgets for animal health divisions of companies.
If you are a pet owner, you should take a look at my article (with accompanying video) on my own experience with an Online Pet Pharmacy to save pet medication costs.

Need Pharmaceutical Sales Experience Before Marketing Positions
January 12th, 2010I presented a talk on diversity skills to an executive networking group this morning and one attendee from the meeting asked me about the pharmaceutical industry afterwards. He was already in mid career in marketing in another industry and wanted to know if he has any chances of getting into pharmaceutical marketing. I told him that for this industry, one usually needs pharmaceutical sales experience before getting into a marketing position. So he would have to be willing to get into pharmaceutical sales for a few years before being considered for a marketing position. The pharmaceutical industry is one of the fields where they do prefer this particular career path to marketing. He didn’t know much about this field so I suggested that he take my free 30 minute webinar on pharmaceutical sales careers to see if the field interests him.
