Tell me a little about your background.

I attended Clarion University of Pennsylvania on a Track and Field Scholarship where I received a Bachelor?s of Science in Sports Management and Athletic Coaching. I hold 2 track and field school records at Clarion University. Following college, I gained experience in B2B Sales and worked my way into a role as a Sales Trainer. Following this experience, I started managing a gym when I moved to Saint Petersburg, FL where I have lived now for 18 months.

Why were you interested in pursuing medical sales as a career?

I always dreamed of getting into the medical industry and I found a passion for sales in a previous role. I made the decision to combine the two in order to find what I believe will be my long-term career.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

I came across MSC online after applying for what felt like hundreds of jobs in the device industry and getting nowhere.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

My ultimate decision to attend MSC was based on the high placement rate combined with former students I connected with in order to learn about their experience.

Please describe your training experience at Medical Sales College.

All of the instructors and staff were wonderful! I think MSC does an excellent job teaching the clinical knowledge necessary to have a successful career in the medical device industry. The training was very in depth and extensive. It was a ton of work, but extremely rewarding!

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

MSC really fulfills their mission to make their students more employable. Having the experience will always give you a leg up on other applicants.

How long did you try to get into the industry before attending MSC? What was that experience like?

I tried to get into the industry for 2 months before attending MSC.

Please briefly explain your job interview process with your hiring company.

I was contacted from my Zero Fee recruiting profile a 3 days after I graduated. We scheduled a phone interview, met in person, received a verbal offer in person, and received my offer letter a week later.

What do you know now that you wish you had known before entering the industry/attending Medical Sales College?

I learned everything I needed to learn at MSC, I wouldn?t change anything about my experience!

What was the most valuable thing you learned at Medical Sales College/What piece of training do you use the most in your day-to-day activities?

Aside from the valuable knowledge gained in the course, I think one of the most valuable parts of the course was Scott Binder?s tips he provides regarding networking. It was a huge eye opener for everyone and anyone asking how to get into the industry.
