This industry is a
great place to sell into….why? Well, it
really isn’t tied to the economy. Because
most of the test results are tied to a
patient, budgets don’t just go away like
they can in other industries. So there is
very little vulnerability for the laboratory
sales representatives. 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. Obviously,
a background in biology, chemistry,
microbiology or any other lab area is a
positive. But there are some incredibly
successful clinical laboratory sales
representatives without that technical
education. The clinical diagnostics industry
leaders do a good job of training and
continuing education. Customers here see the
representative as a consultant and value the
information that the laboratory sales
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!
