How to pivot into medical/pharma sales?

hello!

My initial plan was to go to medical school however I’ve decided to pivot into medical device sales so I could somewhat stay in the clinical side of healthcare.

Most of my past education/experiences are VERY stem based and I have NO KNOWLEDGE on anything business related.

I graduated with a Molecular Cell and Developmental Biology degree and worked as a medical scribe/assistant in clinics, lab assistant, content creator, and I’m now currently working as a full-time private AP/IB biology, chemistry and psychology tutor.

I have also tried applying for sales positions however I've only been rejected; came close to one interview though. I'm assuming it's because I lack any business background which is why I am debating whether to get a masters in MBA or MPH to open up more doors and build connections.

Also, are there any entry level positions that I should start applying for?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! 🥹🙏🏻🫶🏻

Don’t give up

Hi everyone, about a month ago I started my medical sales job. I had a year of experience in b2c sales and it took me 10 months to finally land the role. It’s not impossible with low experience keep trying !
