Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips

I am very happy to have Eliot Burdett from Peak Sales Recruiting as a guest blogger again today, this time discussing the benefits of audio books:

If you are like most people there are several great books you would love to read – if you had the time. Here is a tip that might help you get into those books sooner than you had imagined. An online service called audible.com sells audio versions of many popular books ranging from personal development to news, analysis and fiction. Many great sales books are available via the service. You can buy full versions of the books and in some cases, abridged versions which are much shorter. These can be downloaded and played on your favorite mp3 or mobile device, in my case an iPod. I have an adaptor in my car which allows me to play my iPod while I commute, so I get to listen to several audiobooks a month. I have a preference for abridged books from which I can get plenty of good ideas and concepts and still leave lots of time for making calls while I travel. And here is another tip – most audio devices will allow you to listen to recordings at various speeds and I have discovered that you can listen to most audiobooks at accelerated speed and catch every detail – even faster! Perfect if you have a short commute.

I love this!  I have listened to audio books while traveling and can say that it is a great use of time.  Also, I love the idea that listening at an accelerated speed can get it done faster!  Thanks for the tip, Eliot!  There are several books I would recommend to anyone in medical, pharmaceutical, or laboratory sales….I will have a list of some great ones in my next post.
