A Day In The Life Of A Medical Device Sales Rep: Episode 2 Territory Coverage

[@cranghel]

Couple thoughts on some of the comments you made about your in-service. Keep in mind that you are the subject matter expert on your device you know the insides and out of your device you live in breathe your device. The supporting staff are a jack of all trades in the reality is your device is just a small sliver of everything else that they have to handle in the operating room. so for the nurse to ask whether you were going to be in the case is really no surprise to me even if you have a super intuitive device.

Hey bud, I’ve been watching your stuff for a while now. Working towards med device sales, been in the broader field for about 4 months now and I can’t wait to be continuing on to sales. Thanks for the content, it’s really helpful

[@davidpurtell4734]

Great video. I have tons of clinical experience but I'm new to medical device sales. I have been asking my team mates what the typical day looks like and your video is the best answer to my question.

[@dailylife868]

I liked it brother. This is how you nailed your day, it’s always good to be prepared for your day like this. I have seen this Hospital cases delays, and changes in timings. Also I agree how staff miss little but important instructions on packaging and mess up the whole kit or worse scenario whole case😒.

Hello! I’m a bit older starting my career in medical device sales (surgical /orthopedic. I appreciate your candor and explanation of your daily life/tasks! Also LOVE how you brought your doggie! I have a female GSD so I definitely will have days when she will be with me if it’s a quick stop.

Thank you for your explanatory video and the real footage of your going through a day in the life of MDS. I am starting my training in November. Funny thing is I am also set to apply to medical school in the spring. I am not sure which way I want to go. I don't think my training will be a waste. Hopefully I can get a LOR for my medical school application.

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

What do you mean when you say you start your training?

[@taliagoodwomanmann]

@@newtomedicaldevicesales Well, it is more of an internship, a paid one. The company is Medical Device Sales Institute which has headquarters in FL.

[@mihaelaifrim6617]

How many hours of sleep do you need to function properly?

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

That’s different for everyone, but for me I need minimum 6-7 hours

[@Christineavila1]

Haha yes! You’ll have to repeat yourself cuz the nurse brain on most shifts is so busy with a list of things to do and people calling when you’re told, “hey stop what you’re doing. There’s something new you have to learn” and All I’m thinking of is what’s going on with my patients as the person is talking

[@MrTrex183]

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

[@AverageJoeThooo]

Hey man I’m curious, I know it varies but in average if you had to say how many hours are you working per week?

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

Normal Week is 45-60 for me at least

[@scottanderson8316]

Jacob, I have 25 plus years of Occupational therapy experience but only a 2 year degree. Any thoughts ?

[@johnkountoures8347]

Thanks for sharing, I love this content for my research! Do you have an internal team where you can get product support/tech support while out in the field and is that helpful?

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

Normally I'm the point of contact, but some divisions have that support and that would be helpful

[@meenakshipandey2]

Very nice video👌

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

Thank you so much!

[@ellenl6376]

[@NOLIG]

You’re a stud

[@shootingbricks8554]

Red hat=for vendors or non hospital staff in the OR

[@bremenfan29]

I have been applying for medical sales jobs and having zero luck getting interviewed. I guess there’s an age limit and looks matter.

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

Nope, applying does nothing. You need to network and create relationships with people who make decisions.

[@makenziehaughton1707]

Do you need a degree?

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

Yes, they want a 4 year degree
