Medical Sales Recruiter - Tips & Quips

I found a Medical Sales post I liked about a nurse at a Toastmaster’s meeting inquiring about switching to a career in medical sales.  Two things I liked most about this:  Toastmasters is actually a good way to improve communication skills, obviously critical to a sales career (whether it is medical device sales, pharmaceutical sales, laboratory sales or biotech sales)… and, it was suggested that she actually meet and talk with some of the medical sales people who come into her hospital to get first hand information.  I have also suggested several times that people interested in transferring to medical device, laboratory, or pharmaceutical sales do “ride-alongs” with medical sales people to get a more realistic idea of what’s involved in day-to-day operations.
