I want to thank the NAPSR for helping me with my pursuit of a pharmaceutical sales career. The CNPR training was just what I was looking for and certainly was the deciding factor in my interviews. I interviewed with NOVARTIS, GSK, Pfizer and AstraZeneca and just accepted a position with Pfizer. I am sure this would not have happened had I not completed the entry level pharmaceutical sales training offered by the NAPSR. Thanks again for helping me break into pharmaceutical sales. Jill O, San Diego, CA Dear NAPSR: I want to add my name to your list of testimonials. I completed your course just recently and since adding the CNPR to my resume which I have since been contacted by several pharmaceutical companies. I am expecting an offer from Merck Pharmaceutical later this week. I just wanted to keep you updated and thank the association for the entry level training.

I obtained the CNPR Certfication in the Fall of 2003. I was employed with Pfizer and we have many openings for sales representatives. Your graduates are ideal so please refer all recent certified members. Regards, Dear NAPSR: I am writing to you to let you know that the Pharmaceutical Sales Training Manual is purely the work of genius. I was overjoyed with your website and without hesitation I purchased your premium package with NAPSR membership and subscription to the monthly magazines. I am so excited because I just got my first interview with Merck today, exactly a week after submitting my resume. Your tips on how to write a pharmaceutical sales resume for an entry level applicant was extremely helpful. I will keep the association updated. You rock! G.M., Indiana Since becoming a member of the NAPSR, I have received several interview invitations. Recently, I met with a company who was very impressed with my certification from NAPSR. The coursework that I studied in order to certify with the NAPSR gave me an in-depth knowledge of what it like to be a pharmaceutical sales rep. The district manager that interviewed me gave me the offer over many other well qualified candidates, including those with pharmaceutical sales experience, because of my in-depth knowledge of a field in which I have never worked. Thank you very much NAPSR. I look forward to utilizing you as a continuing education resource for many years to come. Sincerely, J. Rotz P.S. Please update me in your database as a current employee (pharmaceutical sales rep) of Innovex-McNeil Pharmaceuticals. “Please add my name to your success list. I just accepted a sales position with Bayer Pharmaceuticals. You guys helped me so much during the process.” Robin, Denver, CO “I
want to thank the NAPSR for all of its help. The training and the Career Center
helped me land my first job today in the pharmaceutical industry with Pfizer.
I cannot explain how happy I am and have just called my best friend to take
your course as Pfizer has 2 more openings in my area.” Dear
NAPSR, Currently I am a pharmaceutical sales Rep with ANDRX Pharmaceutical, without the course there is no way I would land the job since it prepared me for the unknown that others fear because they have not taken the course neither passed the test with a 91% score like I did. Thank you for preparing us to face district managers, sales managers or head hunters with the right answers and to give us graduates the assurance to pass on that we are indeed the best candidates.
"I just heard back from the District Sales Manager who I interviewed with last week. He said I was the most qualified and was very impressed with my pharmacology and medical knowledge. I was surprised because I was nervous that I did not do very well. I start at the end of March. Also, I gave him your number and he will be calling you."

sincerely appreciate your quick response to my questions on the course Thanks
again!" "Dear
NAPSR, "I
am a frequent visitor to your web site which I find extremely informative and
educational. "Good
morning, "I
want to thank you for the opportunity to learn more about the Pharmaceutical
Sales environment. Your manual was interesting as well as informative, I couldn't
put it down. I've always been fascinated with this field of work and never thought
it was possible to break into "Pharmaceutical Sales" but after passing
the examination with 91% I was elated that I'm one step closer to acquiring
my dream career. I thank God for the opportunity to be a part of the individuals
who has worked hard to become a certified member of this wonderful organization.
"Thank you so much for your response and insight. I look forward to working with this organization to assist me in my transition." M. Goff "Without
your tips on how to write a resume for the pharmaceutical industry and the key
words that the pharma companies look for I do not think I would have been called
for the interview. My whole family thanks you. I have referred two friends to
you. Thanks again." "I

recommend your pharmaceutical sales training course to all the recruits. I am
so impressed with level of pharmacology education and training that the CNPR
candidates possess.” “We
look to the NAPSR when we look to hire hundreds of reps.” I wanted to thank you for the great information in your course. Todd C. Thank
you so much and I did learn so much from the information in the periodical and
by completing the exam. And I am very excited and confident about continuing
my search for a position with a Pharmaceutical Company. I
want to tell you how excited studying this manual has made me about the The
reason I decided to become certified is because someone else in my company did
the same thing and the company really was impressed that she went above and
beyond her normal job requirements and got the certification. I know the company
looks at it very positively. This person was highlighted in our newsletter for
her accomplishment. Soooo, you should toot the horn for not only beginner sales
reps but as an adjunct learning for the experienced rep. Just thought you might
enjoy hearing that! I am looking forward to my learning experience! Martha W. Thanks
for your help with this and I will keep you posted on how Thanks David L. I
just wanted to say, thank you. I had interviewed with a few pharmaceutical companies
and I was always the second-best candidate. Since I joined NAPSR and took the
certification last month I contacted some of the companies with whom I had initially
interviewed. I got a call back and an offer without even having to interview
again! I start my new position selling to two industry-leading products next
week. I just passed the certification exam with a 95%. The knowledge I now have regarding the pharmaceutical industry is going to set me apart from the other candidates! What a great investment. I feel confident that I will land the position I want! Thanks so much for the intensive crash course in pharmaceutical sales! Shannon, Hi, I
graduated last month from the University of Northern Colorado with a B.S. Pamela van B. Attention Suzanne Neece, My name is Siva and I moved to America 3 years ago. I have 7 years of experience as a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative in Malaysia. I joined NAPSR a few months ago recommended by a Pharmaceutical company I applied through. For the past 3 years, I have done everything in my power to return to this line of work but can't get my foot in the door because I have no Bachelors Degree. After taking the course with NAPSR, I realized the training tools you provide are phenomenal! I think about all the medical reps in Malaysia and how much they lack the knowledge that is provided by your company. If they had the chance to take a course with NAPSR, they would go so much further in their careers. SIVA T. Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your assistance!!! Heidi C. Thank
you for all your help. I greatly appreciate the training material provided.
I find it to be very useful in my training for certification! Dear NAPSR: Thank
you very much for offering your training course. I found it to be a Sincerely, Good
morning, I want to personally thank your organization for its extensive and thorough training. I just got hired on with Millenium Pharmaceuticals and the District Manager mentioned how impressed he was with my pharmacology and medical terminology. He said he will always look for CNPR candidates when hiring for his entry level openings.
Thanks again. "I just wanted to send you a note letting you know how impressed I have been with the quality of your CNPR graduates. We have been interviewing for several openings and the applicants who have completed your entry level training program are so knowledgeable about the industry that it is very refreshing to see. I think that most applicants just don’t realize how technical the pharmaceutical industry is. We talk to well educated physicians on a daily basis and every pharmaceutical rep must know their product, clinical studies on the product, pharmacology issues, the pharmacokinetics of the product and more. I will always look for the CNPR when looking at resumes and please use me as a reference for the program." Rob J., McKesson Pharmaceuticals Your website has provided me with invaluable information and insight into pharmaceutical sales. Your entry level training program sounds very interesting and something I would like to pursue. Thanks
in advance for your help. I want to thank you for brining confidence to my job search. I studied your sales manual for over a month and took the test on March 21st. I received a 96%. Because of this program I now have the confidence of going into an interview knowing more about the industry. It is my goal to break into pharmaceutical sales and I believe your program has brought me one step closer. Thank
You I gladly appreciate the information your company has sent me regarding the pharmaceutical sales business. I have read the interesting information that will make a difference on how I view the business. I was not aware of the equivalent educational background that comes with this position I wish to pursue. I would like the opportunity to become more in depth with medical research and how the drug breaks down throughout the body and the chemical changes it can cause the body. I gladly appreciate the quick response. Thank you, Dear Sir/Madam, You have a very impressive website and I will soon join as a member. Thank you. Sincerely, I
am willing to do what it takes to become part of the Pharmaceutical Thank
you, I'm so glad to know NAPSR exists. This lucrative industry is often "cloaked" in secrecy as to how to get in. I am grateful you are offering this training and opportunity. Sincerely,
Good
Morning: T. May I said I would keep you posted so I am. As I stated previously, I took the test on Feb 6. I made it to the final round of interviews with two of the top ten companies. I start training for one of them in the middle of the month! I definitely think that I was blessed to find your program. It gave me the tools necessary to break into the industry, keep up the good work. Beverly C. I
appreciate the timely feedback from your company. I would like to sincerely
thank you for the invaluable information that your books have given me. I personally
will write a success story when I have accomplished my goals. From a satisfied
customer. Thanks so much for giving me the added assistance I needed to get into the Pharmaceutical Sales field. As advised in your manual, I have been on two "ride alongs" with other reps. They were amazed at how much I knew! I took my exam on Friday, Feb 6. It was a challenging, as it should have been, but I was ready. I passed with a 92%! I received my first call for an interview, Sunday night Feb 8th! I feel like I am armed and ready for the interview, thanks to the your organization. I will keep you posted! Beverly C. The information enclosed on your company and the web-site was amazing. It enlightened me not only about your company, but the opportunities that are out there for millions. I just wanted to drop an email to quickly say Thanks again :) Sincerely, I
purchased your material right before Thanksgiving last year. I have been studying
off and on, but am very focused now! I have had the opportunity to visit with
middle managers of major pharmaceutical companies and am looking forward to
the next interview within their management structure. I
wouldl like to thank you for the tremendous amount of information any new pharmaceutical
sales representative should know by heart. It took me twenty seven hours of
study and I aced the test with a 91%. After fifteen and a half year of been
one of the top sales executives for the Florida Lottery, a change to the challenging
pharmaceutical field is in order. Being a Purdue University B.S. graduate has
helped in the interview landing process, but definitely the CNPR title next
to my name has helped on several interviews. I would recommend NAPSR membership and the entry-level training manual for certification to anyone who is interested getting the best education and information in the pharmaceutical sales field. I can not thank you enough for calling me back (within 5 minutes) and helping me try to submit my test answers. Thank you for going the extra mile and helping me submit my answers. I also want to thank you for the offer of trying to get the Javascript on my computer to work. You are a true professional and your patience in my frustration was so appreciated. Thank you. I was also very impressed to receive the manual within two days of my online order. NAPSR is completely "on top of it." Best
Regards, "Thank
you for all the information I have received concerning the Pharmaceutical Sales
Representative Manual. As it happens, I did purchase this manual last year while
surfing the net for information concerning entry into this field. The response
I have received from actually emailing my resume has been how important it is
to take this test. As a result of this response, I have been studying feverishly
and hope to register for this exam very soon. "Thank
you for your response. By the way, an excellent packet with "I
just completed my certification test. I found it to be challenging as it should
be, but very rewarding. As I pressed the submit button, I felt an amazing feeling
of confidence that I can now go out there and be considered a qualified pharmaceutical
professional with insight into the industry that will give me the competitive
advantage I need to succeed. Thank you for helping me reach the next level to
a more successful career." "Thank
you for expediting the package of materials last week. "I
want to thank you for all of the information that you provided. Yes it helped
me land a job. I had your information for only two weeks and was able to get
a job with a pharmaceutical company in Toledo, Ohio. Thanks again." "The
books were great. I know how to sell and have great customer relationship skills,
the only area I needed improvement in was my knowledge of the pharmaceutical
industry. Now I have It! more testimonials coming soon... Please email us with feedback at contacts@salespharmaceutical.org.    |
