How can you add value to your medical sales interview?

Get Hired in Medical Sales: Showing you the step by step process to land a high paying sales job.

Today's episode is Pt. 2 of the conversation with Matthew Sorensen.

Today, he talks about his tips for creating a great resume, how to stand out in an interview, and how to get out of a rut.

Tips for creating a great resume:

• Use bullet points to show accomplishments
• Brag about hitting your goals or KPIs
• Show growth, progress, or achievements
• If possible, use a quote from a stakeholder acknowledging your success
• Avoid vague job descriptions

How to stand out in the interview:

• Contrast yourself in a positive light compared to other candidates. -Example: A lot of new reps only care about blowing away the quota. I understand that meeting the quota and complying with company regulations are crucial for long-term success.)
• Be prepared to ask good open-ended questions. - Ask them early and often! However, make sure you keep the interviewer's flow.
  • Tip: Make sure to answer their question before you ask too many questions & pivot or "check-in" to set up your question.
  • Balance being curious and coachable.
• Have an aggressive close that is well rehearsed and practiced. - For example, if you are a hunter and this job is 80% hunter, you might say: "This job is perfect. With my hunter mindset, there is no one better qualified than me!"
• If you are transitioning into sales from another career, offer your unique perspective. This will allow you to bring value to the interview. Leverage your unique exposure!
