Medical Sales Jobs: How To Find the Hiring Manager

Looking for a medical sales job?  Unless you are an exact match for the job opening the medical sales recruiter is trying to fill, you’re more than likely on your own.  Time to use your sales skills.

The job search is a sales process, and the product you’re selling is you.  So what do you need to do next?  Find your buyer (the hiring manager).  How?

The #1 way to find medical sales managers is through LinkedIn.  Other social media sources work too (Twitter, Facebook, etc.), but I doubt there’s a medical sales manager alive who isn’t on LinkedIn.  So, you need to be there, too.  Do searches, join groups, and get out there.

But you always need a Plan B, right?  Plan B is considerably lower-tech:  use the phone.  Just call the company.  You can get the number off the corporate website, dial the receptionist, and ask who is the Regional Sales Manager that covers Texas (or wherever your geography places you).  For a company involved in sales, that will not be a secret.  You’ll get the name, and then you’re all set for making your first contact.

Be as aggressive in your job search as you would be for your job.  After all, what’s a more important product to sell than you?
