Nutrition sales job requirements

















I see some nutrition reps with zero background in nutrition..

Is it like pharma where everyone is trained for the job and hardly anyone needs an exact background?

In an ideal world, yes. However, there is no actual training here. Just memorization of lousy talking points and a dead-end direction.
