Working in pharmaceutical sales is similar to selling other products, except that you need to know how the drugs you’re selling achieve the results they’re supposed to, which illnesses or symptoms they’ve been developed for, and what kind of side of effects they carry.
In addition to knowing the products you’re selling thoroughly, as well as the competing brands, and the conditions they’re meant to treat, you need to be able to communicate well with customers and forge strong relationships with them.

Re: Pharmaceutical Sales Position
Dear Mr. Rekah,
Greetings and how are you? I came across your job posting for a pharmaceutical salesperson in the Midwest region, and just had to send you my resume.
As you will note, I have a Masters in Pharmaceutical Science, and have been employed as a pharmaceutical salesperson for 15 years. During those years, I was able to promote many new products through demonstrations and presentations, and contributed to the wellbeing of many citizens of the Midwest.
My past and current achievements include:
- Consistently meeting the company’s short term sales quotes and long term goals
- Building strong relationships with customers and attracting new customers
- Discovering new areas of growth for the company
You’ll find me to be well-informed about the product lines that I sell, and a persuasive salesperson. It would be mutually beneficial for us to meet to discuss the position further.
You can reach me easily through my cellphone at 654-321-0987, or at [your email address] to set up an appointment.
Thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely,
Allen Edwards
