Do you want to get into Medical Device Sales?? If so → https://www.newtomedicaldevicesales.com/podcast

If you’ve made it to the final rounds of medical device sales interviews but keep falling short, this episode is for you. The three biggest mistakes that are quietly costing candidates the job, even those who look great on paper. From the way you show up to how you handle pushback, these are the things hiring managers notice but never tell you.

Key Takeaways:

• Know the company before the interview. Do more than 10 minutes of research; check their products, mission, and who you’re meeting with.
• Treat every call, coffee, or quick chat like it’s an interview. Professionalism always counts. Show up in a suit and be ready.
• If you're told, “You don’t have experience,” don’t agree and fold. Instead, acknowledge the concern and reframe it with what you do bring to the table.
• Politeness isn’t a winning strategy in this industry. Confidence wins. That means being clear, assertive, and not afraid of a little confrontation.
• Don't wait to be picked. Make companies want to pick you. Show them you’ve done the job before getting hired by taking ownership, following up, and standing out.
• If you're still not getting results after months, stop wasting time and start getting real help. Six months of “trying” doesn’t beat someone who breaks in in six weeks with the right plan.
