What is a virtual life science sales representative?

A Virtual Life Science Sales representative is a professional who sells life sciences products and services—such as laboratory equipment, reagents, or biotech solutions—remotely using digital platforms. They engage with clients in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare sectors via phone calls, video conferencing, and email rather than in-person visits. Their responsibilities include identifying potential customers, presenting product information, managing online sales processes, and providing support to existing clients. Virtual sales roles are increasingly important as the industry shifts toward digital communication and remote work.
