“I’ve applied to 35 medical sales jobs… and haven’t secured an offer.”
𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕’𝒔 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏 𝑹𝑵 𝒕𝒐𝒍𝒅 𝒎𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒆𝒆𝒌.
She’s smart. Compassionate. Driven.
She’s been in the trenches—comforting patients, managing crises, working 10-hour shifts.
And now she’s ready to pivot into medical sales.
𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭, “I’ve got clinical experience. I know the hospital system. I’ll stand out.”
She polished up her resume.
Watched interview tips on YouTube.
Started clicking Apply on every medical device and pharma posting she saw.
Month 1: Nothing.
Month 2: Four rejection emails.
Month 3: Nine rejection emails.
Month 6: Burnout… and doubt.
She thought she was doing everything right.
But if that’s true—𝐰𝐡𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐬?
If you’ve applied to 30, 40, 50+ roles and you’re not moving through the interview process…
╰┈➤ Your strategy requires an upgrade.
To secure a $100K+ medical sales role (with benefits, commission, and a company car), 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝟒 𝐧𝐨𝐧-𝐧𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐬:
6-Figure Resume
↳ Built with medical sales language, metrics, and value—not responsibilities.
START Interview Skills
↳ Stories that show you’re a fit. STAR is good. START wins offers.
Selling Skills
↳ You’re not applying. You’re selling yourself to solve the manager’s problem.
Business Acumen
↳ Speak the language of quota, revenue, and market share.
Trial & error is costing you time. And time is costing you money.
If you’re not getting results, it’s time to ask yourself the tough question:
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐈 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠?
Let’s fix that!
