If you are a recent college graduate with a major in chemistry who is interested in becoming a high paid sales manager in the pharmaceutical CRO area, we have an excellent opportunity for you as a Sales Support/Sales Trainee.

Starting as a full time Sales Support Trainee, this position will provide sales support to company executive management.  Reporting to the Sr. Manager of Sales and Marketing, and working closely with the company President, you will:

  • Research potential client companies
  • Develop a Dream 100 list of target companies

  • To write an email template for reaching out to new clients
  • To write a cold call script
  • The basics of making outgoing calls to potential and existing clients as well as arranging meetings with prospective client decision makers and the our company president. 

You will also accompany the president to many of these meetings and follow up with prospects afterward.  Moreover, other duties in sales and marketing will be assigned to afford the incumbent the opportunity to become fully functional within the pharmaceutical CRO sales and marketing world. 

In addition, the sales training process will also include time in our labs working on projects to develop a keen sense of the top quality work we do and be able to relay that knowledge to potential clients.

Initial compensation will be $1600.00 per month.  Successful completion of the three to six month training program will lead to a sales position that includes a base salary and commissions on new business.
