Grayce Petersen is a medical sales rep in the textile industry covering the Midwest Territory. She walks us through what it's like to get into a desired medical sales rep career, how it looks completely different than a 9-5 desk job and it allows her to get outside of her house and have a different schedule every day. Medical Sales is something that requires some creativity in how to pitch yourself and your brand. She shares with us her tips on how to be a good sales rep which is actually how to NOT be sales-y! Questions that we discuss: How to handle rejection in the Medical Sales Industry and not take rejection personally (hint: it takes time) Do you need an internship? Do you need to be a biology or medical school track to get this job? How do I find an open rep spot in my territory? What is it like to have a job that you are on the road traveling the majority of the time outside of your house? How to show value and benefit to your customers to have them make a change to buy your product! Most embarrassing moment in her career The importance of networking specifically to get this type of career. The importance of listening to what jobs and careers make YOU happy. You don't need to have a professional internship and it's OK to have fun jobs like serving or working at a golf course.
