Getting Your Foot in The Door w Pharmaceutical Sales, You Can Do So With A CNPR certificate by the N

WASHINGTON - July 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Pharmaceutical sales can be extremely lucrative as well as financially rewarding and the pharmaceutical industry is growing rapidly as new drugs are being brought to market. Drug sales are expected to rise 6% annually through 2016 because of the aging baby boomers, increased access to drugs through Medicare Part D program and the rising use of biotech and other products. The NAPSRx® administers the CNPR® Certification for the pharmaceutical industry which educates individuals and qualifies candidates who are seeking a career in pharmaceutical sale

The leading 15 international pharmaceutical giants registered satisfactory performance during the year ended December 2011 despite continuing economic uncertainty, expiration of patent exclusivity for several block busters, little outcome from R&D investments, restructuring and legal costs, stiff generic competition  and austerity measures adopted by several European nations. The net profit of 15 companies increased by 12.8 per cent to US$ 97 billion during 2012 from $86 billion in the previous year with significant contribution from GlaxoSmithKline, Bayer and Boehringer Ingelheim.

With a median pay of 76,000$, plus commission, pharmaceutical sales is one of the most sought after positions in the sales industry. Breaking into the industry can be tough, but many individuals are finding out that with the proper certification, the process can be made  a lot easier.

Applicants who have no previous pharmaceutical sales experience but who have acquired industry sales training, pharmaceutical product knowledge, managed care guidelines plus selling regulations will always be more qualified versus others without it. A person does not need to be Einstein to learn algebra or be Tiger Woods to teach golf; similarly you do not need to be a pharmacist to effectively sell pharmaceuticals but it is necessary to have some basic understanding of pharmacology and medical terminology to effectively detail physicians.

Individuals that are interested in becoming a Certified National Pharmaceutical Representative(CNPR) can contact the National Association of Pharmaceutical Sales Representatives(NAPSRx) for more information.
