Daily Motivation Quotes Helpful For Pharmaceutical Sales

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

#pharmaceutical #sales #jobs #pharmaceuticalsales

If you like short inspirational quotes, then you will like the development at my Motivation Facebook page which had involved the daily posting of several such quotations. I recognize that whether you are pursuing to get into the pharmaceutical sales field or already working as a drug rep, regular motivation is helpful.  Daily motivation quotes serve to remind you to keep on track in your daily life as well.

One benefit of these daily posts at my Motivation Facebook page is that you can easily add comments to any of the inspirational quotes. And if any of the quotes really speak out to you, let the rest of the Facebook community know that by hitting the ‘like’ link for each quotation.

This is a great way to participate in the growing community here at the Facebook platform.  These quotes will help keep you motivated in your pharmaceutical sales career.

Then on the weekends, I will summarize most of the short inspirational quotes that I posted throughout the week onto one single post at my Motivation Success Blog so you can review them all at once and/or catch any that you may have missed during the week.

I just love short inspirational quotes. They are quick to read and just takes several seconds to digest into my mind so that I can relate them to my own life. They are like short but very effective reminders.  You can even review them while you are waiting in doctor’s offices for the next pharmaceutical sales call.

I hope they work for you and if you appreciate my efforts here on my Motivation Facebook page as well as at my Motivation Success Blog, please let others know about them so they can benefit as well.  This is just another service that I provide for my pharmaceutical sales readers.

They Are All Pharmaceutical Sales Rep Jobs

Monday, July 19th, 2010

#drugs #pharmaceutical #jobs #sales — I got a question from somebody who is interested in pharmaceuticals sales rep jobs while chatting with him on Facebook.  He asked me whether the term or title ‘medical representative’ is the same as ‘pharmaceutical sales rep’.

I told him that in most cases yes and one can certainly tell by the company on the business card.  If the company is a pharmaceutical firm, then the term medical representative certainly implies the company’s pharmaceutical sales representative.

Different companies may use slightly different terms for their sales forces but they all mean the same type of position.  Even I have had a few different title while as a drug representative.  Here are some of the more common titles.

Medical Representative

Medical Territory Manager (actually not a manager but sales rep)

Medical Sales Representative (if company is pharmaceutical)

Drug Representative

Pharmaceutical Representative

Pharmaceutical Sales Representative

Professional Service Representative

Territory Manager (again, not really a manager)

These are all titles used for drug reps who call mainly on family physicians.  There are other terms for those reps who call on mainly medical specialists and these are a more senior level of pharmaceutical sales rep jobs.

Sometimes, large companies with large sales forces divide their people into different divisions by product line.  So one division could be for cardiovascular while another can be gastrointestinal for example.

So I concluded my chat with this fellow on Facebook by suggesting to him that since he’s on Facebook, he should visit my Pharmaceutical Sales Facebook page where he could get access to my free 30 minute webinar on pharmaceutical sales rep jobs.

This webinar will give a nice background on the field as well as general requirements for pharmaceutical sales rep jobs.  If you are on my blog, you can also get access to the same webinar at the sidebar of this blog.

Pharmaceutical Sales Training Videos Coming

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

#pharmaceuticalsales #pharmaceutical  —-  This week’s video on pharmaceutical sales strategy for drug representatives was just the first of several that were shot this week.  The others are being edited and will be put up here on this blog over the next few weeks.  These videos would be great as pharmaceutical sales training information especially for those who are hoping to enter the industry.

They give you a realistic appreciation of some of the actual issues that can happen out there in a sales territory when calling on doctors.  These cases can also give you something to talk about during your job interviews since it will show potential employers that you are not completely ignorant of what really happens in the day to day working life of a drug representative.

Although these videos and blog posts will never replace real pharmaceutical sales training from a trainer in a pharma company, they are still helpful to expose you to the industry.

I will release about 1-2 new videos per week in the next little while so stay tuned.  I hope you will find these pharmaceutical sales training clips informative and entertaining as well as I pulled them from my real life cases during my career.

By the way, for those of you who like being on Facebook, our dedicated page about pharmaceutical sales at that platform is getting popular with Facebook users as it’s a place to interact with other people interested in the industry while remaining on Facebook.

If you are on Facebook and would like to check out this page and interact with others as well as me since I do post there quite regularly, just go to Facebook Pharmaceuticla Sales.  Please hit the Like button too while you are there and let other Facebook users who are also thinking about pharma sales know about the page.

All the pharmaceutical sales training videos being produced will end up on that Facebook page as well so you could watch them while in that program too.

Pharmaceutical Sales On Social Media

Thursday, December 17th, 2009

Since networking is highly recommended as a job search activity in any field including pharmaceutical sales, it’s interesting to see that this can now also be applied to the social media scene.  Social media is really about networking and making contacts.  I’ve noticed (and joined) various groups with a pharmaceutical sales theme on both Facebook and LinkedIn.  I too, have a dedicated pharmaceutical sales page on Facebook.

One word of caution though.  Just like in a live networking situation, you should have any hard selling in online social media.  Don’t go in there and immediately push your resume to a group or new contact and ask for a pharmaceutical sales job.  It’s about building connections and relationships first as the same type of informal rules applies to both live face to face networking and online social media like Facebook or LinkedIn.  By the way, online social media should be just one of the tools to use for networking with pharmaceutical sales people.  It should not replace live face to face networking, which is still the most effective form of building business relationships.

Take December To Learn About Pharma Industry

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

Even though December might be a difficult month to network with pharmaceutical sales reps because they are busy trying to meet annual sales quotas followed by vacations, things will start up again after New Year when it’s a great time to catch up to them.  So in this case, you should take December to learn about the pharmaceutical industry and plan your networking activities for the New Year.  Take my 30 minute free webinar on pharmaceutical sales if you haven’t already done so (see either side of this blog or at the Free Webinar tab on my Facebook page).  You want to be prepared when January roles around to appear your best in front of pharmaceutical industry people.
