Medical representatives are responsible for the promotion of related drugs. Some run hospitals, and the clients are doctors. Some are in charge of pharmacies, and customers are dealers. Strong communication and coordination skills are needed, and there are more than 2 million medical representatives in China. The role of medical representative was first introduced by joint venture pharmaceutical companies. From 65438 to 0988, a joint venture pharmaceutical company in the south took the lead in "cultivating" a group of medical representatives for the society. Other pharmaceutical companies have followed suit, and medical representatives have mushroomed. Chinese medical representatives can be divided into two types, namely "product-independent" and "product-related".
