Another great industry to sell
into….why? There are very few layoffs and there are always opportunities.
The skill sets to be successful in this industry are sales skills, follow
up, follow through, and technical knowledge. A background in biology,
chemistry, microbiology or any other lab area is more of a necessity than in
another other sales arena. But there are some incredibly successful
representatives without that technical education. The biotech/research
laboratory industry leaders do a good job of training and continuing
education. Technology in this sector changes quickly and the sales
representative has to be able to discuss the products with confidence.
Customers here see the biotech/research lab sales representative as a
consultant and value the information that the representative brings to them.
So job stability, respect are great attributes. Add to that income.
Typically, a representative with 2-5 years of experience is able to
consistently earn 6 figure incomes, have a car allowance or company car,
401k, and all of the other health benefits. This is a great space to work
in!
