Today’s pharmaceutical sales interview tip focuses upon the importance of grabbing a business card before you leave your interview.  The first medical sales client I ever worked with eliminated the first candidate I sent in because the applicant did not ask for a business card.

It may seem a bit harsh but remember when you interview your sales skills are being evaluated.  If you’re selling pharmaceuticals, medical products or medical devices you must grab a business card from the potential buyer in order to send a follow up thank you note and contact the potential buyer in the future.

Next time you land a pharmaceutical sales interview be sure and grab a business card from everyone you meet with and email them all a thank you.   My next tip will deal with what to write inside your follow up email after a pharmaceutical sales interview.
