Janet Snook has spent over 20 years at leading Life Science and Diagnostics companies in Sales & Marketing roles. She began her career carrying a bag selling Life Science reagents to the major academic medical centers in the Bay Area with QIAGEN, Inc. and rose up in the ranks to manage relationships and contracts with large pharmaceutical companies across the globe.
Due to her success in sales, she transitioned into managing the technical & sales training departments at Gen-Probe, Inc. During her tenor at Gen-Probe (& continuing after the acquisition by Hologic), she transformed the technical product training program into a comprehensive sales onboarding program.
As Director of Commercial Marketing at GenMark Diagnostics, she developed sales tools within Salesforce which decreased the time to close capital equipment sales and enabled visibility of sales funnel management across the organization.
Janet has been through numerous sales skills training & instructor courses throughout her career which allows her to link product training to sales training instead of having those trainings run independently.
"I recently took Janet’s presentation course. I’m someone who presents regularly and feels comfortable doing so. The program was great and far exceeded my expectations. Janet obviously practices her own lessons because I found myself staying interested the entire time and wanting to absorb everything I was learning. The fundamentals that I already knew about giving a good presentation were distilled better than I’ve heard before. And, the new tips and lessons were equally engaging, clear, and effective. This interactive course provides skills that aren’t just for people needing to hone their presenting skills, it is for anyone who wants to improve their meeting skills and effectiveness in business. I did this course as part of a team training. Afterwards, my coworkers and I couldn’t stop talking through scenarios to apply these skills. "

"The relationship between our company and our global distributors and customers was enhanced immensely by the training experience as provided under Janet’s direction. It was very common to receive emails and even hand written cards at the end of training classes from customers thanking Janet for her training and personal support. Many stated it was the best training class they had ever attended."
Paul McMullin, Former Sr. Director, International at Gen-Probe
"Janet was instrumental in developing course curricula and programs for our training programs. Pre-reads, classroom instruction, and field-based training were all developed and included in the training she developed, providing us with a comprehensive program that could be utilized for new commercial personnel."

"Over the course of my career, I have been through several quality training programs with blue-chip companies, but my experience with Janet far exceeded all of them"
