If you are a sales professional or want to become one, or if you are looking for a new sales job, you will face one of the toughest interview processes of any job seeker.
I just finished a coaching session with a candidate who is making a critical mistake in his health care sales job search.
His mistake? He doesn’t have a LinkedIn profile representing him as an excellent pharmaceutical sales candidate.
He was unsure as to whether he “really” needed it, if it cost money and how to go about putting it together. Listen to what I said next…
If you want a profile that is selling you on LinkedIn, I can help…..
PS — I am not a part of LinkedIn. Just a groupie that has experienced this tool and would not be in the job search without a profile that was complete and polished representing me. It’s an absolute MUST for any candidate in medical sales, pathology sales, medical sales, or any health care sales arena.
PPS — Carl Smith wrote me this:
“With Peggy’s Linkedin course, my internet presence is certainly improved. In fact yesterday afternoon, I rec’d an e-mail from a recruiter asking me to contact him about a search he was conducting. When I called, we started talking about the territory. Then he asked me to wait while he brought up my Linkedin page. I asked him if that was how he discovered me and he simply said, “Why, yeah it was”. He has presented me to the client and we are waiting to hear back.”
