If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.
Cafe Pharma (or Cafepharma) can be a great source of news on the pharma industry for sales reps. However, it can also be less than professional and extremely negative. Although maybe I’m understating…here’s a link to an article that calls Cafe Pharmaceutical the “cyberspace equivalent of scrawls on a men’s room wall.” (I do enjoy a wonderful turn of phrase.) It’s home to rumors, accusations, racism, misogyny–that’s helpful, huh? (read with sarcasm, please)
Pharmaceutical reps are already the least respected of all areas of clinical sales–behind pharma sales, biotech revenue, clinical device sales, imaging sales, clinical laboratory revenue, and clinical diagnostics sales. Some of it’s intrinsic to the career opportunity, but chat room ranting doesn’t help.
What do you think?
