yes, i have more than20years of pharma sales & marketing experience. my view point about this uncertainty issue in job is that sales profession is no doubt best paid job but it is equally the most uncertain profession. its like walking on the tight rope all the month, targets, planning, customers, product knowledge, time to time hard talks from upline management, prices, competitve actions, lots of reports, meetings, & at the end of day threat of job. if you are achieving corporate objectives, you are the best man of company & if you are not matching with your targets,, you are the laziest person on earth,, you can,t availe leaves, etc ,,,always walking and if you stop due to any good reason ,,you will be replaced by another young sales man.
