The best reps I know have done research. To my mind there’s a world of difference between knowing the capabilities of your product(s), and knowing if they’re useful in the real world.

A rep having a PhD is important to you? And knowing their 'stuff' is a distant third? I'm surprised Oh Caped One that you'd be such a snob. I wouldn't care if the rep failed high school biology as long as she knew the capabilities of her products inside and out. That's what she's there for imho...will her solution make me more productive or cost me less than whatever it is I'm currently using. If I want to talk science with a colleague I'll walk down the hall. Agree with you about the nice legs though. Really? A rep having a PhD is important to you?
