Joining a medical devices or pharmaceutical company as a medical sales graduate can be very stressful and at the same time rewarding career. You will be employed by the company to promote their medical devices, consumables, equipment or pharmaceuticals to key decision makers, doctors or pharmacists.
These positions usually require great communication, presentation and negotiation skills, as you will be working with people trying to sell, so a flare for sales is necessary. In most cases the positions are field based, you don’t have a base but your company car is your office, you will be spending a lot of time in hospitals, doctor’s waiting rooms. In return, most medical devices companies are offering company cars, laptop, lunch allowance and other benefits plus bonus, based on your sales.
As a Medical Sales Representative you will be visiting doctors, nurses, midwives and other key decision makers in the healthcare industry to make presentations on the medical devices, consumables, theatre products or equipment development by your medical sales company.
In most cases you will receive an initial training course lasting 6 – 8 weeks, covering training about the products that you will be selling as well as different selling techniques.
Depending on the medical devices company any degree subject is acceptable, however life sciences, medically-related degree, or healthcare industry experience can help you go a long way.
