Hi Alexandra. You need to learn about the company you are applying to, look at their products, customers, and competitors. Also, learn the medical terms and ideas related to their products. This shows the interviewer that you are serious and ready to work in healthcare.
It is also important to understand how sales work. Medical sales interviews often ask about your ability to find clients, build relationships, and close deals. Be ready to talk about your past sales experience. You may give examples of times you met your targets, sold a new product, or handled difficult customers. If you do not have medical sales experience, you can talk about skills from other sales jobs, like talking to clients, listening carefully, and solving problems. Practicing "role-playing" can help, that is, try explaining a product and answering questions as if you were selling it.
Additionally, you can reach out to people who are already working in medical sales. They can give you a realistic view of the day-to-day responsibilities and what employers expect from successful candidates. Their insights can provide valuable examples to share during your interview.
