I have pharmaceutical sales experience but would like to pursue a change to a medical device or medical capital equipment?
Transitioning from Pharma to medical device or capital equipment is not impossible, just difficult. Probably less than 20% of people with a Pharma background make the transition. Pharma roles are perceived as “detailing jobs” where the rep plays more of a marketing role than planning and executing a complex sale, like in the lab environment. Pharma reps don’t close for agreement and then procure a purchase order.
