Job Description

CONSUMER HEALTHCARE PRODUCT SALES – BEDFORDSHIRE/HERTFORDSHIRE/CAMBRIDGESHIRE

My client is a world renowned, market leading pharmaceutical company, with an exciting opening for a Medical Sales Representative to manage a territory covering the Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire & Cambridgeshire area.

In this role you will have responsibility for promoting just one market leading consumer health product targeting the smoking cessation market, primarily to GPs, practice Nurses, retail pharmacists and smoking cessation clinics.

This is an exciting and sought after position on many levels - because the product you would be selling is a household name access to healthcare professionals will be made so much easier than if you were selling less well known lines (it practically sells itself & patients actually request it by name). This role will require an interesting blend of sales and account management skills plus providing educational support and training. As you will also be responsible for taking orders from retail pharmacists, you will have immediate positive feedback, and a tangible way of measuring your success.

The company are fully committed to providing you with comprehensive initial and ongoing training, and believe very much in promoting from within the organisation. They will offer you supportive, constructive management and coaching in order to bring out the best of your abilities and encourage you to continually develop.

Because my client is looking for the right person, they are more than happy to consider either trainee/entry level candidates or more experienced Representatives. Trainees will ideally be educated to degree level and MUST have carried out work shadowing and researched the role of the medical sales rep & pharma industry thoroughly. Previous pro active sales experience (either field based or telesales) would clearly be an advantage as a very commercial outlook is required. It’s more important that you are enthusiastic, committed, determined to succeed and very self motivated. Above all, an outgoing and sparky personality is key - you should have enough confidence to close every sale & ask for the business.

As with all field based sales roles of this type, a full UK driving license is require and all candidates must be eligible to work in the UK.

Please note that all applicants MUST either already live within the geographical area specified, or have a logical reason for wishing to relocate (i.e. friends or family in the area). In return, you will be rewarded with a generous basic salary (dependent on experience), plus tax free daily allowance, fully expensed company car, laptop & mobile telephone, pension, private healthcare & bonus
