Pharmaceutical sales involves the marketing and distribution of medications and medical products to healthcare professionals, such as doctors and pharmacists. Sales representatives, often called pharmaceutical sales reps, educate these professionals about the benefits and uses of their products, aiming to increase prescriptions and product awareness. The process typically includes building relationships with healthcare providers, providing samples, and delivering information about new drugs. Pharmaceutical companies invest in research and development to create effective medications, and sales teams play a crucial role in ensuring that these products reach the market and are utilized effectively by medical professionals.
