What to Look for In a Great Medical Sales Interview Coach

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 12:00:43 +0000

Today’s position search is unlike any we’ve seen before. Competition is especially fierce for pharmaceutical sales jobs in this economy, and candidates get weeded out quickly. If you’ve landed the interview, you need to bring your best game right off the bat and knock the socks off the hiring manager. One of the most effective ways to become an all-star candidate is to hire an interview coach. Individualized coaching takes your personal work history and talents into account and customizes solutions for you.

How do you find a great interview coach? Look for someone who specializes in clinical and health care sales with lots of experience. Look for testimonials from other clients, and take advantage of the consultation that they (should) offer. If you find someone with the right credentials that you feel you can work with comfortably, you’re good to go.

What should you look for? A really great interview coach will get to the bottom of your problem as quickly as possible. They won’t want to waste your time or money, and will be interested in helping you land the career opportunity you want. They’ll want to help you identify your goals and pinpoint the areas you got to improve.

You’ll probably get some homework to do on your own, like books to read or specific changes to make to your resume. It’s great if they can help you arrange a job-shadowing experience, and help you incorporate the keywords you’ll gain from that experience into your new CV. And they should help you role-play interview questions.

But the best thing about interview coaching is that it’s personalized. A great coach won’t have a standard plan they make everyone adhere to—they’ll customize the plan to what you got to be a winning candidate, whether you’re in laboratory devices, clinical sales, pharmaceuticals, or hospital or surgical equipment.

A good coach won’t make you eager promises, but he or she will want you to succeed as badly as you do, and will give you the tools, training, and expertise to make it happen.

I offer medical sales interview coaching, but you don’t got to work with me. Research what you can expect from a medical sales interview coach, and make your decision. It’s an investment in yourself and your career that will pay off for you.

Why You Need a 30/60/90-Day Plan to Shine In a Medical Sales Interview

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 12:07:49 +0000

The best-prepared candidate for medical sales jobs is often the one who gets the offer.

And the hands-down, very best way to ensure that YOU ARE the best-prepared candidate is to construct a 30/60/90-day plan. It works for pharma device revenue, pathology sales, clinical revenue, pharma software sales, or any kind of health care sales career opportunity.

A 30/60/90-day plan is a written outline of what you will be doing in your first THREE months on the career opportunity. It’s divided up into segments–your first 30 days, which are usually focused on training and the getting-to-know-everyone part; the next 30 days (the 60-day part), which is usually the getting-up-to-speed portion; and the last Thirty days (the 90-day part), which is where you set goals for accomplishing on your own (like bringing in new accounts, going after new business, or otherwise contributing to the growth of the company).

Those plans can be as detailed as you wish, or you can keep it simple. The important thing is to make it specific to the company you’re interviewing with. Not only does that allow you to demonstrate that you’ve done your homework on the company, it helps you talk to the hiring manager about specific things you’ll be doing, which helps him to see you in the career opportunity (which is half your battle).

Want more? They also help you’ve more control over your conversation with the hiring manager. It facilitates finding out what the hiring manger is really interested in, so that you can talk about what’s going to sell you as a candidate for the job.

The 30/60/90-day plan takes some effort to put together. The research on the company is the most extensive and time-consuming part (but you got to know that stuff anyway, right?) and then it takes some strategic thinking to actually write out the plan. But just the effort alone makes you shine in the interview because most candidates won’t go that far in thinking about their role at the company before they’ve even got the position. It makes the hiring manager look at you and think, “If this candidate will work this hard and show this much commitment to the company before we’ve even hired him, what will he do as an employee?” And THAT’S what you want him to think.

To really shine in the interview, you want to blow the hiring manager away with your focus, energy, initiative and dedication right from the start. The 30/60/90-day plan is the way to do that.

There are tools available to help you, complete with samples and actual fill-in-the-blank templates:
