Today I wanted to do a recap of the tips I personally used and my guest used to break into medical device sales.

Networking

It’s not what you know, but who you know. By networking you will get your foot in the door. LinkedIn is where you do this. You should also network with everyone: associate sales rep (most likely what you would be coming in as), Full Line Sales Rep/Territory Manager, District/Regional Manager (this is the hiring manager).

Know Your Story

Know why you’re different, why you want to break into medical device sales, how are you going to impact the territory.

Do the Job to Get the Job

This is why I networked, kept an excel sheet of my contacts, came prepared with information…. because this is my job now that I’m in Medical Device Sales. Every time they had doubts that I could do the job I would just follow back to these examples to show that I already could perform these job duties.

Following Up

You need to make sure you follow up with everyone you speak with, especially after every interview. (just like you have to follow up with doctors once you break in).

You Just Need One

It’s a numbers game. You just need one person/company to take a shot on you.

These are the tips that personally helped me break into Medical Device Sales and get 4 job offers. I’m confident if you do these tips and stick with the journey that you will break into Medical Device Sales!

Until next time, Work towards your goals and make them a reality.
