Tell me a little about your background.

I have a background in sales and retail territory management.

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

I knew that medical device sales was a career path that I could be rewarded for my efforts, and there is no limit to growth. It has always been something that interested me, but I knew how competitive the field is, and I wanted to have experience under my belt before applying. I knew this wasn?t an area I could self-teach, and I decided to invest in myself and leave my career to attend Medical Sales College. I gained the basic knowledge and understanding of the field that I believe, paired with my sales history, will help with my transition right off the cuff.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Online.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

The amount of training and knowledge that MSC would provide.

Describe your Career Development training experience.

How did MSC add to your existing sales skills to prepare you for a career in medical devices where the products are clinical in nature?

MSC helped me develop a clinical perspective for my existing sales skills.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

I believe that someone should attend MSC for a foundation of knowledge before entering into the field. MSC provides you with valuable information and hands-on experience to help differentiate yourself from other candidates and gain the confidence to be successful. What MSC provided me in 12 weeks has been directly linked to my success in landing my dream career.
