She Thought She Needed a Degree Until This Happened

Want To Learn How To Grow Your Territory?? If so → https://www.newtomedicaldevicesales.com/podcast


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.

From Burned-Out Nurse to 6-Figure Med Device Rep

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


Robert Lazar went from burned-out nurse to breaking into medical device sales and landing a six-figure role by betting on himself. In this episode, Jacob digs into how Robert overcame fear, rejection, and self-doubt to pivot careers at 27. If you're in healthcare and feel stuck, Robert’s story is living proof that it’s not too late to pivot and win.

Key Takeaways

  • Don’t let your clinical background limit you. It actually gives you an edge when approaching medical device sales.
  • Rejection is part of the process. Push through it and don’t let it define your worth.
  • You don’t need traditional sales experience to break in. You’ve been selling every day as a nurse.
  • Confidence builds through action. Every call, every interview, and every practice rep levels you up.
  • Stop focusing on what you lack and start leading with the value you bring to the table.

What I Wish I Knew Before Starting In Medical Device Sales!

Want To Learn How To Grow Your Territory?? If so → https://www.newtomedicaldevicesales.com/podcast


Kendy Elmore is the founder of The Lobby Medical Sales Network, a nationwide online community that connects reps through networking, mentorship, and career growth opportunities. He talks about building community, staying consistent when no one’s watching, and why the relationships you build today might unlock doors years down the line. If you’re thinking long game in this industry, Kendy’s story will change how you approach the process.


Key Takeaways

  • Your dream role probably won’t show up in month one. Stay consistent with your outreach, your networking, and your mindset, even when no one is responding.
  • The more reps you put in now, the more leverage you’ll have later. Opportunities open up when preparation and timing collide.
  • Don’t just connect, contribute. Add value when you network. Show up with something helpful or interesting, not just a pitch.
  • Invest in relationships without expecting something in return. The people who remember you are the ones you didn’t try to sell to right away.
  • Build your own brand while you’re job hunting. Whether it’s content, conversations, or just showing up authentically, your name should mean something before you walk into an interview.
  • The Lobby Medical Sales Network can be a solution for reps who feel stuck trying to network alone. It gives you direct access to a supportive community, real conversations, and connections that actually lead somewhere.

What Top Candidates Do That You’re NOT Doing in Interviews

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.
