What is the difference between a career in Pharmaceutical sales and a career in Medical Supply sales?

We Answered:

Worlds of difference. Like above poster mentioned, about 40-50k/year. Hard to move up in a medical supply company unless you're part owner. In pharma sales, you can "move up the corporate ladder" and become a big-time manager (regional manager) making 200k or more/year - this takes a while and you've had to have proven you can sell products - but it can be done and there usually is a clear path toward this end if you're eager enough.

What does it take to get a pharmaceutical or medical sales career?

We Answered:

I am pretty sure to be a drug rep you have to have a bachelors degree in any field. Then you have to be hired from all the other people who think they really want that job to. I heard its tough. Just hear say, but they base it on appearance and ability to talk with others.

How does a former professional baseball player make the jump from mortgage sales to a more stable sales career

We Answered:

I don't think there's much you can do, other than come up with a good CV/Resume + references, and just apply for them.

Though it may help (if you've got the money & spare time) to do a few relavent courses to boost your skills, and try make it at least look like you're interested in advancing your career (e.g. Computer skills, management, etc), if you aren't already doing this.
