Scientific Sales Jobs
Whether you’re looking for your very first scientific sales job or are an experienced scientific sales professional exploring your next career step, our scientific sales recruitment consultants have the knowledge and networks to help you reach your career goals.
Like any other businesses, companies in the laboratory testing, life sciences, healthcare and environmental industries, for example, all rely on scientific sales teams to drive revenue and growth; and just like in any other industry, competition can be fierce!
Whether you have previous laboratory, or related job experience or not, a scientific sales job could be the perfect next step for you. Moving from a hands-on lab job to a more commercial position is ideal for someone looking for a more people focused job and any knowledge gained in the lab can enable you to excel in scientific sales.
Similarly, progressing in a scientific sales role can open the door to further industry knowledge and experience, increased responsibility and earning potentials. Learn more about how Network Scientific can support you to pursue or progress your scientific sales career.
Why Choose a Career in Scientific Sales?
Succeeding in a scientific sales job is largely dependent on your understanding of the clients problem and knowing the right solution to offer. Having worked in a laboratory before, typically means you will have developed an understanding of the challenges that are often faced in this environment. This knowledge is transferable to scientific sales jobs as your understanding of the technical aspects and applications of the products and services will equip you to provide the best solutions for your client’s needs.
Working in a lab can, for some individuals, become routine and repetitive; for these individuals, a career in scientific sales can offer a more dynamic and stimulating work environment. Scientific sales jobs are often more suited to confident extroverts where just being yourself can be an advantageous sales tactic. A sales job involves being social, networking, calling and engaging with clients and nurturing your relationship with them to form long-term partnerships.
Scientific sales also offers the perfect hybrid between science and business. Remain connected to the science world, keeping updated on the latest scientific advancements while also developing valuable sales and business skills. What’s more, sales jobs often come with a commission scheme, so your earning potential is directly related to your success on the job which can therefore be significantly higher than other lab-based jobs.
Are you looking to progress your career in scientific sales?
Advancing in your scientific sales career is always going to be different for every individual; you may be looking for increased responsibility and influence, salary increases, professional growth and development, or all of the above.
If you are currently working in a scientific sales job but feel you’ve fulfilled the role and the goals intended in your current position, seeking a new role that offers increased responsibility can give you the opportunity to lead teams, develop strategic sales plans and influence company decisions.
As you progress in your career in scientific sales you will also have opportunities to increase your earning potential. With a more senior role comes opportunities to access to higher salaries, bonuses and commission structures. A little tip from us – working with a recruiter can be an effective method to agree higher salaries as we can support with salary negotiation when finding the right job for you.
Career progression encourages continuous learning and skill development. Whether this be expanding your industry knowledge by gaining experience in new scientific sectors or improving your leadership skills learning how to efficiently manage and train your own sales team. Career progression exposes you to new challenges that require you to adapt and grow enhancing your professional and also personal skill sets.
