A Medrep's day is pretty jam-packed, and if overwhelmed, life can be pretty toxic. But of course, proper planning and discipline can always help you manage your day-to-day activities. And also, each of us wanted to have that much coveted work-life balance.
A typical morning starts with the following:
- Checking emails and messages - The office regularly sends emails containing sales updates and sales cut-off reminders. With that information, you'll be able to re-align your daily plans with your company's goals. And if there are important communication that you forgot to send the previous day, this is the best time to send it because the office can act on it earlier.
- Accomplishing reports - Reports are part of the job. There are Medreps that prepare and submit their reports before the deadline. But there are Medreps who update their reports daily and avoid getting "toxic" during the monthly business reviews.
- Reviewing itineraries - It is important to regularly check, verify and update your itineraries. Yes, most of the time, itinerary changes are minimal, but if you were able to maximize your time and be able to get your daily coverage target on time, you'll be able to have that "work-life" balance you wish for.
Now, you are allowed to have your breakfast. Just kidding! You can do all these things while eating breakfast and wearing your pajamas. At least by 9:00 am, you are good to go!
Now, you say that it is too early to go to the field by 9:00 am and most of the Medreps you know go on field work late, what will you do if there are no doctors to cover? Now, that is our next topic. Until then, see you!
