Department Feature – Recognizing Our Sales Department
Recognizing the valuable contributions of our employees is a priority for us at Altus Biologics.
Without the hard work each of you puts in every day, it would be impossible for our company to maintain a competitive edge and continue to grow.
This month we would like to recognize the excellent work of our sales department. They are responsible for creating new partnerships for our company, and their success is undeniable.
Our Sales Department focuses on:
- Finding New Potential Physician Partners

To achieve their goals, members of our sales team must possess exceptional knowledge of the industry and our services. They must also be prepared to highlight the advantages of our services, which lies in our personalized care, the quality and expediency of our performance, and of course, the professionalism of our staff.
The sales directors on our team are all extraordinary people with a unique set of skills. These are just some of the personality traits required to be a part of our sales team:
- A charming personality
- Good listening skills
- Empathetic
- Driven
- Excellent time management skills
- Organized
- Perseverance
- Motivated to help others

Q/ Share any success stories or memorable moments while working at Altus.
I had been talking to a doctor who was interested in signing with Altus.When we went on lockdown with COVID-19, he called and said there was no way he could make any moves, and it would be months before he would sign.Not two weeks later, he called back to say, let’s do it and signed.We are now helping his patients get the medicines they need and they were able to stay open throughout this pandemic.
These last months have proved challenging for everyone, yet our sales department continued to look for new partners we could help, and thanks to them, countless patients now have better access to their medications.
