Real careers. Real results with CNPR.

The CNPR Certification mark opened doors I didn’t know existed for an entry level Pharmaceutical Rep. Hiring managers treated it as proof I could handle complex physician client situations. I went from a support role to leading a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep in 6 weeks.

I’d been applying for entry level Pharmaceutical Sales Rep roles for over a year with little response. After adding CNPR Certification to my résumé, I had three interviews with different companies in a month and accepted an offer at a firm that had previously passed on me.

My CNPR Certification gave me the credibility to work as a new Pharmaceutical Rep and deal with inquisitive physicians who needed the correct bioavailability and dynamics behind our products. My new company specifically cited the CNPR designation as the reason they brought me in as an entry level Pharmaceutical Rep.

I’d been a Medical Rep for 2 years, but wanted to change into a Pharmaceutical Sales Rep role. The CNPR Certification made that happen for me. Within a month, I was hired on as a Pharmaceutical Territory Rep, and my firm now sends me to mentor newer CNPR advisors pursuing the same path.

The ethics training and fiduciary standard behind the CNPR Certification matched what I wanted my career to stand for. It helped me land a position at a growing Biotech company that was a much better cultural fit than my old job.

Becoming a CNPR Certified pharmaceutical sales professional was the turning point in my sales career. A few weeks after getting CNPR Certified, a growing BioPharma start-up company offered me an equity stake, something that wasn’t on the table before.

I changed careers from banking to Pharmaceutical Sales, and the CNPR® Certification helped me prove I was serious about a career in Pharmaceutical Sales. I was hired as a Pharmaceutical Rep for a local territory and got a signing bonus that more than covered my exam and education costs.

After getting CNPR certified, I started getting inbound messages from recruiters weekly. I ultimately accepted a remote position with more flexibility, a better client book, and a significantly higher base salary.

Earning my CNPR Certification was the best investment I’ve made in my career. It gave me the technical confidence and the professional standing to move from my career in Telecom sales to an entry level Pharmaceutical Sales Rep career.
