I just want to take this time to wish all my readers a pharmaceutical sales Happy New Year and thanks for reading my drug representative blog or Facebook pharmaceutical sales page this past year. Please don’t forget that these venues are meant to be interactive so feel free to comment on any post (blog and Facebook) and participate in the Discussion section of the Facebook page.

One of my articles got published in an Australian blog called School Friends. The fact that students are already exposed to such topics as diversity, which is what the article was about, means that they are already thinking about their future careers. Good for them!
Since professionals in the medical scene are so diverse, workplace diversity training will be very important in medical sales and related fields. See the article at Workplace Diversity Training.
Both Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon logos have been added to our pharmaceutical sales website on the page regarding the printed soft cover book “How To Get A Dream Job In Pharmaceutical Sales – Direct Inside Advice and Guidance From a Sales Manager”. Both logos are clickable and will take you right to the page at these online retailers showing the book. Of course, the ebook and audio versions are available only through the website directly but many online book retailers like Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon carry printed books by Clint Cora.
As a hopeful pharmaceutical sales rep, will you be making any New Year’s resolutions about this time? If not, is it because you have failed in the past? Or if you do make them, do you still find that you usually don’t succeed with them?
If these scenarios sound familiar, it’s because they are very common among most people when it comes to New Year’s resolutions. Like most people, I’ve had successes and failures with New Year resolutions as well but I decided to study why sometimes I’ve succeeded and why I’ve failed other times.
I wrote an article that goes into this in more depth as I reveal two real life past experiences I had including one where I won my very first karate world championship practically with a broken leg. See the article at Successful New Year Resolutions.
By the way, yes, I think it’s a good idea to make New Year’s resolutions for your hunt for pharmaceutical sales jobs as well as other areas of life. The industry is usually on hiatus during the last two weeks of December anyway so it’s a good time to plan.
Since I’m now a LinkedIn LION (open networker), all those on LinkedIn including folks from the pharmaceutical, medical, biotech and healthcare industries are invited to connect with me there. Of course, in the spirit of being a LinkedIn LION, I welcome new connections from any industry. My LinkedIn profile has additional connection details (near the bottom) on how to connect with me in order to increase your own network.
Former national pharmaceutical sales manager Clint Cora has a deep interest in personal development so he has written a personal growth guide that covers such topics as health, fitness, stress management, dealing with difficult people and more. This free gift, available as a download, is now available to readers of this pharmaceutical sales blog (or Facebook page since they are connected). Simply go to Personal Growth Guide to get more details.
I’ve been connecting with lots of pharmaceutical industry people globally on LinkedIn. So if you are in the pharmaceutical or related industies and would like to connect with me on LinkedIn, feel free to do so. Just click on the LinkedIn button at the sidebar of my pharmaceutical sales blog to get to my LinkedIn profile.
We are doing a quick three question survey to help choose the top seminar topics for a possible day long conference in the future and could use everyone’s input to help pick the top subjects. Please cast your top choices at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SKZLW3R
Thanks so much!
There has been some discussion that one way to eventually get pharmaceutical sales jobs is to do a stint selling photocopiers to businesses first. This is rather interesting. Although selling photocopiers is sales experience, which always helps as part of your background, it is a very different type of sales environment. In some cases, it will work and in some, it won’t. To see my pharmaceutical sales management position on this particular route to getting a position with a pharma company, see my article on Sell Copiers to Break Into Pharmaceutical Sales Jobs.
If you are a business degree graduate in college or university and have some type of interest in health care, you may want to consider pharmaceutical sales careers. Although there will be a lot of scientific and medical training involved to be an effective pharmaceutical sales representative, those who studied business in college can indeed get into this industry successfully. Here’s my full article on pharmaceutical sales careers and business degrees.
