Key Takeaways
🔵 Start where you can, not where you want.If you're early in your career, being flexible with location can fast-track your entry into medical device sales.
🔵 Be moldable.Being new is an advantage. You’re trainable and don’t bring bad habits. Use that to your benefit and absorb everything you can early on.
🔵 Sales isn’t just case coverage.Top reps go beyond just “covering” and actually sell. That means approaching docs, understanding their needs, and building relationships.
🔵 Passion outperforms pressure.Reps who find purpose beyond the paycheck—like helping patients—usually outperform those chasing commissions.
🔵 RepPrep.ai gives you the unfair advantage.Reps can now get hyper-personalized doctor insights and talking points in 30 seconds, including competitive analysis, relevant research, and how their product ties to each physician’s practice.
🔵 Own your career like a business.Keep your own CRM. Track revenue. Track contacts. If you're laid off, your data and success history should follow you.
🔵 AI won’t replace you, but reps using AI will outperform those who don’t.Using RepPrep isn’t about laziness; it’s about efficiency. Do better research in less time and show up prepared, every time.
