i got an opportunity with Johnson and Johnson for a pharm. sells rep..base is pretty good (around 50), plus commisions and shit which i heard average make additional 20 a year.....only thing is i hate selling and i dont know where that career path leads...i also have an oppurtunity to be a commercial lender....pay will be somewhat similar, but i think the lender spot has a better future for me and the way i am.....any thaughts from the siccness?
anyone know or been a pharmaceutical (sp?) sells rep
- Thread starter SocialResponsibility
- Start date
thanks for the feedback...no doubt the money will be good, but im just really not into sales, i cant stand it...but trying to sell something to the general public and trying to sell something to doctors i think is different. i have a good personality, i just dunno how good my sales skills are. but if my base is gonna be around 50, than that takes some stress of trying to sell my ass off. if i dont get the commercial lender job than im gonna go with the pharmaceutical sales rep.
commercial lender i had an in. got kinda hooked up....my dads boss is on the board of directors for the bank the job is at. it also helps my parents were investors in the bank, its only been open since 99....but he only got me an interview, so i dunno if its a lock.....and shit, i just applied online through career builder for the sales rep, i guess they were trying to expand and stockton was an area they needed a rep in, so i guess i got lucky on both jobs.....it helped that i just graduated college and have previous banking and sales experience though, so i wont chalk it up entirely to luck.
Commercial Lending is a fuckin pain in the ass. If you want to get into loans, start out with residential mortgages. Its usually a pretty kick back job, and you can make good money off of a few hours or a few days work.
Are the positions salaried or commission only?
And anyone in the East Bay who wants to look into become a lender, holla at me!!!! I got the SWEET hookup! Between 60-70 base commission split for unlicensed agents with ZERO experience and all the training you could ever ask for!!!
Oh, and pharmacy sales reps get all the good SWAG!

@cb, i graduated from california state university stanislaus with my bs in business administration - management (the school isnt as known as the other csu schools, but is definitly growing, and their business school is up their with the best of em and has been nationally recognized and is accredited by the AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). http://www.csustan.edu/Catalog/Departments-Programs/Business-Administration/index-CBA.html had to plug it alil bit
@6, both position are salaried, the sales rep also has commisions, both have a strating base salary around 45-50....sales rep you can make up to 20 extra a year, for the lender spot, after i finish their training program (12-18 months) i would start out around 70, no commisions, just salary. and i would rather deal with business than consumer. plus this job doesnt focus on the amount of bus your getting, or how many loans your closing, hence no commisions, which is the way i prefer it.
i still dont know which would be best for me and my career, i think money wise, the sales rep probably could make more $, but career wise, i think the lender spot would have a better oppurtunity for growth..im also not trying to relocate, and for advancement for the sales rep, im pretty sure you would have to relocate eventually.

I think what they want to do is givin them some pennies hourly and then like 10% of every lead they generate that closes.
And title leads can be pretty fruitful.....I have an LO that closed 4 last week just from title leads. Cold calling sucks balls though!!! Mass Mailers and other business generators are much more the way to go.
