About this ebook

The most updated, comprehensive, real world, field manual on modern day pharmacuetical sales available today. This handbook was written by reps for reps. It was designed with you in mind, those that are out in the field everyday; selling and driving business for your company.
This is not a handbook for getting into the industry or how to interview for your next pharmaceutical sales job, it is a boots on the ground field manual for success in this field, updated to include what the environment is like today and what it will be like in 5 years.

As a retired military officer, I wish I had this book when I entered the industry eight years ago. Now you have the opportunity to hit the ground running with this field book, providing detailed information from being a standout in training to driving your sales beyond the competition in your first year in the field.

Before reading this book, I really didn't know what drug reps did on a daily basis, how they prepared, or what was required to become a drug rep. It has a lot of info on what it takes to stay relevant in an ever changing industry. On to my next one. What a great start!!
