Interested in a Medical Sales career? IQVIA's unique culture explored
This month, Pf Magazine took the time to explore what made IQVIA special when it comes to forging a career in Medical Sales. Published in their September issue, the page-long interview with IQVIA’s own Andrew Wilkinson and Samantha Prindiville addresses everything from the skills you need to success as a Medical Sales Representative to the IQVIA’s own special company culture.
IQVIA is well-known within the industry for the effort they put into encouraging a healthy work-life balance amongst their employees, and the interview reveals exactly how they motivate their employees, reward high fliers and explains what you can expect from a career in Medical Sales, should you be thinking about making the switch.
Citing ‘the chance to make a genuine difference to people’s lives’ as one of the main reasons to embark on a career on Medical Sales, the interviewees’ enthusiasm for the industry and for sourcing ‘high-calibre candidates’ is very much worth a read if you’re thinking about a career in Medical Sales- or simply want an insight into how IQVIA operates.
Find the article in full on page 19 of Pf Magazine’s September issue here.

Michelle PflanzSince joining IQVIA I have had unrivalled support and development from my manager to enable me to aspire to move into secondary care. I feel like my career is strongly supported by my manager in order to maximise my potential.
Just following on from the amazing news I got yesterday I wanted to say a really special thank you for all the help and support you have provided throughout the entire recruitment process.
IQVIA has been behind my development to become a MSL. The contracts that I have worked on have allowed me to push clinical projects with a recent opportunity to manage a pilot scheme integrating e-detailing into an established field based team. The result was an increase in sales.
Once again I cannot thank you enough for not only approaching me with this opportunity but also for all the support you’ve given me along the way!
A quick note to say thank you for your time this morning discussing my future career options. As you know I was feeling very conflicted about the right decision. Discussing the role with you gave me chance to clarify what is important to me.
Once again I cannot thank you enough for not only approaching me with this opportunity but also for all the support you’ve given me along the way!
