  • Provide general guidance on pricing and reimbursement, routing detailed questions to the appropriate internal contacts
  • Support customers with billing logistics, including ordering, reporting, and invoicing processes
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date contact and activity records for account tracking
  • Track progress against sales and activity targets
  • Enter and maintain customer data in the company's CRM system
  • Represent the company at trade shows, conferences, and industry exhibits
  • Identify, investigate, and help resolve customer concerns in coordination with internal teams
Qualifications:
  • Blood-based diagnostic testing sales experience required
  • Specialty testing (GI, Rheum, Hepatology a strong plus)
  • Must have physicians and HCPs as call points
  • Must know how to navigate the top health and hospital systems in the region
  • Strong presentation skills with the ability to clearly and professionally convey technical concepts by phone and in person
  • A genuine belief in the value of face-to-face relationship-building with HCPs, paired with strong product knowledge
  • Solid technical skills, including proficiency with CRM software and the Microsoft Office suite
  • Excellent interpersonal, time-management, and organizational skills
  • Adaptability and comfort working in ambiguous or fast-changing situations
  • Ability to work independently while contributing effectively to a team
