Pharmaceutical Sales for Phools: The Beginners Guide for Medical Sales Representatives

When I first joined the industry I searched for a book which could give some guidance as to what this role was all about. I never found that book so four years into my career I began writing Pharmaceutical Sales for Phools. Medical sales representatives who read this book will not encounter many surprises once they take their first steps out into the field, as this book has been designed to equip readers with a robust understanding of all the key dynamics of this sales role.

Sahil Syed is an award winning representative who is now in his eighth year of frontline pharmaceutical sales. During this time he has worked with some of the largest and most successful pharmaceutical companies in the world. In this book he has given a highly practical account of how the role of a medical sales representative actually operates.
