RV asked:


I just graduated from college in May. I’m studying to get my real estate license, yet becoming a medical sales rep is grabbing my attention. Would going back to school to receive a biological technology certificate while also working as a real estate agent seem like a good plan? I want to know if being a real estate agent is a good way to receive selling experience which would qualify me to become a medical sales rep.

    sales does not really require a lot of education, what it does require are people with experience. However medical sales is a bit diferent because you have to understand the medical terminology to be able to convince your prospect, so if you learn your terminology and you can sell, then you have a chance of becoming a medical sales rep Ted P

    Well I started my career in entry level Pharma Sales and has slowly progressed, now I work for Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and have had a couple of job offers from medical device company’s. One thing I will say is that you have to be very confident in yourself and they need to see previous sales experience..I think you should work in real estate then go to Med sales..oh and who ever said you don’t need a lot of education lied, you need at least a bachelors and previous experience! skyler l
