Ben was working a job…𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐫.
12 months after graduating, Ben was selling insurance.
He didn’t love it.
But it paid for his apartment.
It paid for groceries.
And that was enough… for a while.
He’d sit in traffic on the way to work, thinking to himself:
“𝐈’𝐦 𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞.”
He started to wonder:
Do I need a science degree?
Maybe a master’s?
❌ False.
Ben didn’t need more school.
He needed a plan.
He needed to learn how to tell his story.
Fast forward to today…
Ben went from commission-only insurance sales
to $92,000 base pay in pharmaceutical sales w/
▪️Uncapped commission
▪️Full benefits
▪️Career growth
What changed?
Ben stopped waiting for someone to “discover” his potential.
Here’s what he did:
✅ Rewrote his resume with industry power-words.
✅ Learned how to interview using STAR stories.
✅ Implemented a proven system.
✅ Started believing in himself.
He didn’t wait for someone to take a chance on him.
↳ He made them see why he was the best choice.
If you’re sitting in a job that’s “just paying the bills”
and wondering, “Is pharma sales really for me?”
↳ Let Ben’s story remind you:
You don’t need a science degree.
You don’t need to wait another year.
↳ 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲, 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐟, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧.
The reward…
A career that challenges you, grows you, and pays you what you’re worth.
