This industry is a great place to sell into….why? Well, it really isn’t tied to the economy. Because most of the test results are tied to a patient, budgets don’t just go away like they can in other industries. So there is very little vulnerability for the laboratory sales representatives. There are very few layoffs and there are always opportunities. The skill sets to be successful in this industry are sales skills, follow up, follow through, and technical knowledge. Obviously, a background in biology, chemistry, microbiology or any other lab area is a positive. But there are some incredibly successful clinical laboratory sales representatives without that technical education. The clinical diagnostics industry leaders do a good job of training and continuing education. Customers here see the representative as a consultant and value the information that the laboratory sales representative brings to them. So job stability, respect are great attributes. Add to that income. Typically, a representative with 2-5 years of experience is able to consistently earn 6 figure incomes, have a car allowance or company car, 401k, and all of the other health benefits. This is a great space to work in!
