How Can Career Coaching from the Laboratory Sales Recruiter Help You?

career coaching for pharmaceutical revenue, sales, sales management, and marketing

As a clinical revenue recruiter, I spend a lot of time on the phone fielding inquiries from job seekers.  Not only about specific jobs in pharmaceutical sales, lab sales, imaging sales, biotech sales, clinical diagnostics sales, clinical laboratory revenue, medical device revenue, hospital equipment sales, medical revenue, or other areas of healthcare sales, but also about career coaching:  How does it work?  How can it help me?  Can you help me?  Here are some recent queries (beautiful typical ones) I have gotten from people interested in career coaching:

• “I wanna get into pharma sales in the Florida market area.  My background is _______________.  I have heard that this is a slow time for recruiters, but I am anxious to transition.  I’d like input, direction, and assistance.”
• “I’ve been downsized.  What do I do?”
• “I’m currently in pharma sales, but used to work for XYZ Company selling radiology equipment.  I’d like to get back into laboratory sales or clinical device sales, but nobody wants to hire someone from pharma.  How can I make the transition?”
• “I would like a professional to review my resume and cover letter.  I enjoy your videos and will use your tip on career opportunity shadowing.”

The customized career coaching offered through PHC Consulting can help.  Most people only need about an hour, so it’s not a big commitment. 

How can it help you?  Basically, I have years of experience in sales, building successful sales territories from the bottom up, revenue managment, and pharma revenue recruiting, and I use all that experience to offer you an objective, informed opinion on your personal situation. It’s effective, and it’s efficient.  You can learn:

• What you need to know to transition into the pharma sales industry, even if you’ve no previous medical sales experience
• How to write your resume so that it highlights YOUR best qualifications
• How to ace your interview–I can ask you questions and give you immediate feedback on your answers and style
• What you should include on your brag book and 30/60/90-day plan–with specific ideas for your own situation
• Which position offer you should take–discuss pros and cons with someone who knows the industry and has no agenda
• How to negotiate salary–everyone is afraid of this one, but it’s not that hard
• Which follow-up techniques to use to make a great impression
• How to build your personal brand so that you get farther faster
• Figure out why you’re not getting offers even though you’re qualified
• How to get an interview if you’re having trouble–how can you contact that sales manager?
• Anything you got to know about sales career success!

If you’re already in sales, or are a sales manager, you can also get coaching advice on:

• building your sales team
• making hiring decisions
• getting that promotion that has been eluding you.
