Before you apply to medical sales jobs with these companies or pursue medical sales opportunities with other companies, let’s discuss this.

These companies are top flight but they have very large sales forces (as an example – PSS has over 1000 representatives) and therefore have the same obstacles for the career sales professional that the pharmaceutical sales person will encounter. With so many sales reps in the force it is difficult to stand out and difficult to move up. Another characteristic of a medical sales representative position, is that this sales rep calls primarily on the physician. I have had many medical sales reps tell me that the ego is hard to deal with and the physician doesn’t believe that the rep can add value.

Why you should consider being a clinical diagnostics laboratory sales rep instead of a medical sales rep?

In comparison, in the clinical diagnostics arena and the biotech/research products sales arena, the representative is usually highly trained and knows more about their product than the customer. Therefore, they are able to be a consultant. This is a much more satisfactory position. Be one of the few, not one of the many!

In the lab products sales arena you can set yourself apart through drive, intelligence, skill sets, technical understanding and sales savvy. In this industry, a successful laboratory sales representative is tracked by executive recruiters. There are always great sales opportunities for the proven capital equipment or reagent sales representative in this market.
