    Stephanie Haiba Collier

    Rosalind Andry comes from a single parent household of 5 and grew up pretty poor. Because of her refusal to accept this for the future, she aspired to achieve on a much higher level than her mom. It was witnessing the crying and sadness of her mother due to her inability to make ends meet and pay the rent. There was an inner drive to succeed that occurred after watching her grandfather refuse to help that gave her an inner drive to succeed. She credits all of her achievements to God. She truly believes that without God, she would not have been created in order to implement great things yet to come. Her mission for this work is to help those people succeed in Corporate America who come from a disadvantaged upbringing, or household where the exposure to Corporate America was limited. Her ultimate goal is to make sure there is room for God in Corporate America. Rosalind has been in the Pharmaceutical/Biotechnology industry for over 8 years.   Stephanie Haiba Collier is a Certified Physician Assistant and Pharmaceutical Representative in the greater Austin area. She has previously been on the faculty of the USC and Western University of Health Sciences Physician Assistant programs as an adjunct faculty member. She received her undergraduate degrees from the University of California, San Diego and California State University at Dominguez Hills. Ms Collier has served in community leadership roles on the local, state and national levels. She is the proud parent of a college sophomore and has written or coauthored two previous non published works in the educational arena: English Essentials for the California College of Health Sciences and Basic Pediatric Curriculum for Physician Assistant Students while on staff at the Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California. She currently resides in Austin, Texas.

Leaving no stone unturned, this guide cuts to the chase of every aspect of pharmaceutical sales, and offers relevant tips and techniques applicable to any sales position.

      About Pharmaceutical Sales

      Pharmaceutical sales is delivering valuable resources and clinical information pertaining to specific medicines or products that enhance lives. The pharmaceutical rep’s objective is to equip medical providers with the most recent information regarding his/her products. Furnishing the provider with FDA approved information allows providers to incorporate all therapeutic options in order to make a clinically sound decision regarding patient care.

      Benefits

      Pharmaceutical sales benefits are probably some of the most generous in corporate America, thus making this a difficult career to pass up. These benefits may include, but are not limited to:

      • Company car

      • Laptop computer

      • 401(k)/stock options

      • Medical/dental, short and long term disability

      • Base salary plus bonus incentive(s)

      • Company credit card

      • Expense account

      • Tuition reimbursement

      Answering these questions will help you determine if pharmaceutical sales is for you:

      • Am I self motivated?

      • Am I goal oriented?

      • Am I a self-starter?

      • Can I work independently or with a team?

      • Am I flexible?

      • Do I enjoy helping others?

      • Can I prioritize, organize and manage my time wisely?

      If you answered positively to three or more of these, this industry is for you. If you’re up to the challenge and ready for the rewards of pharmaceutical sales, we invite you to read and embrace this invaluable resource.

      This is truly one of the most complete pharmaceutical guides ever written. It teaches you how to be successful from start to
