Tom Ruff book: Break into Pharma by M. Bartz (Tampa, FL) 5 Stars
April 17, 2009
I make my living providing pharmaceutical sales candidates to recruiters. So, I try to read all books helping my candidates getting into pharmaceutical sales. As I'd grade the books I'm reading: Lisa Lane (B-), Lisa Alexander,(C+) Anne Clayton (B).
My candidates tell me what works and what does not work. The advice in Tom Ruff's book (grade: A-) is spot-on with what my candidates tell me works in the "real world." A good book - better than the others in substance and readability.
