Ashley Rohrback, a previous personal trainer, didn’t just land a job in medical device sales, she carved her path through determination, strategy, and a mindset most people overlook. She talks through the exact steps she took to break into the industry, how she prepared for interviews, and what she wishes more candidates knew before applying. Whether you're doubting yourself or just looking for a playbook to follow, Ashley’s story proves it's possible with the right approach.

Key Takeaways (Conversational Style, No Emojis or Bullets)

  • Your background doesn’t have to be perfect, just learn how to position your story with clarity and confidence.
  • Use LinkedIn intentionally. Don't just connect. Start conversations, follow up, and tailor your approach to each rep or manager.
  • Preparation wins. Record your mock answers, watch yourself back, and build confidence by doing reps like it’s a workout.
  • Rejection is part of the process. Don’t take it personally. You will get more No’s than Yes’s. Just keep improving and pushing forward.
  • Staying consistent and coachable will take you further than experience alone.
