April 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Pharmaceutical sales representatives generally work for drug or medical supply companies and sell pharmaceutical goods to individual clients in the medical industry on a wholesale basis. Most positions are of the outside sales variety, often entailing frequent travel from one prospective customer to the next. Bachelor's degrees and in-depth training regarding pharmaceuticals are also becoming more common for most positions.

For beginners, they typically need to be trained on certain areas which broadly categorized as basic science and basic sales training. Why they need to know basic science? They need it because they will be dealing with terms and product materials that are rich with scientific terms and concept. For example, when talking about how a drug act on the body, the sales rep, at least, need to know about body system, the digestive system and so on, and they need to know about pharmacology concept, like dynamics and kinetics.  Federal certifications, such as the Certified National Pharmaceutical Representative (CNPR), teach the foundation for these critical categories.

If you are an entry level candidate for pharmaceutical sales positions it is important to meet the employer requirements to successfully obtain interviews. Industry recruiters and human resource professionals look for applicants with pharmacology and science education. The CNPR® training and certification provides such education which will lead to meeting minimum pharmaceutical sales requirements.
