Tell me a little about your background.

I was a professional golfer with some B2B sales experience.

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

I was interested in medical sales because of the grind of the industry and the reward of helping people.

How did you learn about Medical Sales College?

Online.

What ultimately made you decide to attend?

I decided to attend MSC because I wanted to give myself the best opportunity to enter the industry with having little sales experience.

Why should someone attend Medical Sales College?

Someone should attend MSC if they want to learn the ins and outs of the industry. Ultimately I think people are interested in attending MSC because they are struggling to get into the industry. You have to exhaust all options, just as you would as a device rep.

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

Less than 6 months.

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

I had one phone screen, two face-to-face interviews, and one dinner interview.

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

Both the school and the device industry are not 8-5 type of roles. This job is a lifestyle that requires after-hours work in order to succeed.

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?

Beyond the technical and anatomical information, MSC taught me what to expect within the interview process as well as the industry itself. I can honestly say without MSC, I would not have landed this job. I was able to speak the language of a spine rep within my interview process and it truly impressed them.
