Plain and simple, how do I get my foot in the door to go from a Pharma QA Auditor to a Pharma Sales Rep? I do not have prior sales experience other than selling purses as an independent sales consultant for a few months. What can I do to increase my chances of an interview and a job? I have thorough knowledge of the industry, but no relevant sales experience. Where would you begin? Plus, most of the reps I know work for the company I left. Oh, I have 6 years in QA and 11 overall in the healthcare industry.
