Medical Device/Surgical Sales Manager tells all…..

I have known David Allen for a long time. I tried to recruit him back about 9 years ago. Failed. But did win him as a client – so all was not lost. He is a super manager with experience in Quest Diagnostics (laboratory services), Oncura (oncology therapy) and Urologix (oncology therapy). So I begged him to chat with me about his hiring philosophy and experiences. You can listen to it here:

I hope you enjoyed this (and maybe learned something). Is there any topic, type of person, etc. that you would like to see/hear here? Put it in comments or email me.

    Great stuff Peggy! Thank you. So good I played it three times. David’s best point for any candiadte in a sales interview…ABC, Always Be Closing. We are interviewing for a sales position, after all, so we should take every opportunity to sell the interviewer.
