New to Medical Device Sales

I’ve probably listened to 60+ episodes between the New to Medical Device Sales podcasts while working toward breaking into the industry myself. What separates this podcast from a lot of career content is the level of detail. They don’t just tell you to network, prepare, and interview well. They help you understand what that actually looks like: researching the company, understanding the division and territory, knowing the competition, and figuring out what you can genuinely bring to the table. The 1st Year in Medical Device Sales episodes with Jason Elmore were especially valuable for understanding what the job actually looks like after you get hired. I’m now heading into final interviews, and I can confidently say this podcast has played a huge role in how prepared I’ve felt throughout the process. If you’re serious about breaking into medical device sales, start here.

As a recently new the listener to Mr. McLaughlin‘s podcast, I have developed a new approach to my journey in entering the medical device sales field. I appreciate his motivation driven approach to getting into the medical device sales field. If you’re not going above and beyond, you’re not beating the next person. I will continue to listen to every single episode and then hopefully reach out. Thank you for the great advice and exposure to great knowledge.

Jacob’s journey follows the Joseph Campbell archetypal Heroic tale of a man who left the safety of his community(those of us stuck in financial mediocrity if not poverty) to learn about an industry where you can help people while being financially secure. He faced down threshold guardians who told him the only way was to sell copiers or other B2B Sales. He thanked them and continued on finding his true mentors on LinkedIn who saw in him a hero in the making willing to put the hard work in and “do the job to get the job” He overcame many obstacles and fought many battles to earn the mantle of med rep and had attained the boon of knowledge from the Mt. Olympus of Med Sales. He didn’t hoard this knowledge, but has continued to share it with us. This angered some of the greedy gods, but Jacob never forgot his original goal to help his community he’s created—he kept his promise, despite any personal sacrifices he may have had. Jacob is a modern day Rocky story ready to coach Everyman or woman seeking a career path in Med Sales; however, like Rocky he will attest life isn’t rainbows and sunshine… No sugarcoating here but tough love. For those willing to take up the journey with Jacob they too will discover life is nothing without its challenges, but it can be a wonderful career life worth living. If you are considering Med Device Sales and want an accurate depiction along with a mentor who will prepare you for the ordeals ahead, then listen brave hero and prepare to start climbing towards your destiny one rung at a time on Jacob’s Ladder of Med Device Sales Success!

Jacob is so enthusiastic about the Medical Device industry and gives the best advice on how to break into the industry as well as how to succeed once you get there. He’s a genuine guy who loves to help people. I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen!
