• Research the pharmaceutical sales industry and any trade associations related to that market (eg. Association of British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) for the pharmaceutical sales industry)
• Speak to some of your potential pharmaceutical customers and ask them about the job, products, buying process, and so forth (eg. GPs, nurses, etc)
