A reminder here that your “Dream Job” is probably a “Dream Job” for hundreds of thousands of others. If it weren’t then why would it be a “Dream Job” in the first place? Medical device sales is one of the most competitive sales roles out there. Find. A. Way. To. Separate. Yourself. 

Many people we speak to every day are looking for a career where they feel they’re truly helping others and making a real impact. This is one of the reasons so many choose to break into medical sales—it’s a patient-first industry. Balancing another job while trying to break into this field is tough, but trust me, from personal experience, it’s worth it. #medicaldevicesales #medicaldevices #medicaldevice #medicalsales #medicalsalescollege #sales #success #newtomedicaldevicesales #medtech

How do you stand out in an interview? When I was first interviewing for associate roles a decade ago, I had 1.5yrs of hardcore sales experience, a college athlete background, big smile, fresh haircuts, pressed suits, “charisma”. Yet I still was receiving rejection after rejection. That’s because those things are cool, but to really stand out more than anything, you have to ask the most detailed and thought-provoking questions. This is more memorable. This translates well into being a device rep. Asking a Dr. questions about their family and interests is a nice thing to do, but they won’t remember you by that. They’ll remember the rep who asked them an incredible question that made them think. There are no shortcuts to creating these questions. You have to study more than anyone else and/or talk to more reps at that company than anyone else. Dont forget to get all your research and questions printed out with an extra copy for anyone you speak to. Good luck!

Ten years ago, I had a dream of breaking into Medical Device Sales, but there was one problem: I didn’t have the clinical experience most companies demanded. 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿 1,000 𝗿𝗲𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿—yes, over 1,000—companies selling even something as simple as foot cream told me I wasn’t qualified. But I didn’t let that stop me. I kept applying, kept pushing, and eventually landed a role managing a surgical robotics program for Mazor Robotics. Despite having no clinical sales experience, I found myself in hospitals planning surgeries with robots. Here’s what I learned: Experience is valuable, and being qualified is important—but they aren’t everything. Determination, resilience, and a refusal to take 'no' for an answer are truly priceless. If you’re out there thinking you need to be 100% qualified before you even apply—stop. Start focusing on what makes you stand out. Build your unfair advantage, whether it’s relentless drive, a strong personal brand, or a willingness to keep learning and trying no matter how many times you hear 'no.' Sometimes, the most 'qualified' candidates get stuck in their comfort zones. It’s the hungry, determined ones who end up doing the impossible.
