WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BREAK INTO MEDICAL DEVICE SALES?

More than 1.5 million people search for medical sales jobs every month. There is a lot of interest and a lot of qualified professionals applying for these sales positions. For this reason, hiring managers for device sales are very particular about their hires. They demand the very best. If your resume does not show a history of specific sales accomplishments in an outside sales environment, you will likely not be invited to interview.

Another important consideration is the nature of medical device sales. In order for a medical device sales rep to be successful, they must understand the sales process and how the product is used to benefit the patient. A sales rep has to be able to communicate with a surgeon customer on their level, using medical terminology relevant to their medical sales specialty.
