“I worked with Hannah at Carrot Recruitment. She really took her time to understand what I was looking for in my new role during my career change.

A career in Sales & Marketing
What should I do to progress in my career in this sector?
A Pharmaceutical Sales role is more varied than it used to be. Those working within the sector are now also expected to engage many different stakeholders, including patient groups, to ensure they understand issues while providing solutions via products to these groups.
Building strong relationships with healthcare professionals, consistently meeting or exceeding sales targets, and staying updated on industry trends can significantly enhance your prospects for advancement in this field. Additionally, continuing education, training, and certifications can be valuable for career growth and development.
In the UK there is a strict code of conduct which must be observed, set by the Associate of British Pharmaceutical Industries (ABPI). Pharmaceutical Sales Reps will be expected to pass exams set by the ABPI.
