Medical representatives can be spotted from a mile away. The designer clothing, the bright smile and brand name car; they are often envied and as a medical recruiter I often come across people wanting to head into that field to become the best.
Why would you want to be a medical rep?
- Higher income potential and improved company benefits compared to other repping positions.
- To a certain extent you have control of your working hours.
- The feeling that your products matter and will make a difference.
What makes a good medical rep?
- It comes without saying that ambition is a key indicator to the success of a medical sales person.
- You can be the smartest person in the world but if you are not hard working you will probably not succeed.
- A diligent person shows signs of future success.
- It is important to be a well-read sales representative if you want to succeed.
- Loyalty is a quality that helps propel a person to succeed.
- A person who has excellent follow up and always does what they say they are going to do makes for a great medical sales person.
- A person who is flexible and can change their approach to suit different personalities or even circumstances, like work hours, are on track for success in medical sales.
