<p>[QUOTE="BAMABOY, post: 3582752, member: 20609"]I am sure this certification can help some wanna be med device newbies better understand this field but getting out there and networking with current reps is really the best. If you want to get into medical sales you better have current outside sales experience and if you have outside sales experience you have many customers and contacts that I am sure know someone who works in med sales. I looked this RMSR website up and the biggest warning I can give to newbies is to not think everyone in med sales makes 150k plus a year. Before crappy insurance reimbursement and surgeon owned surgery centers lots of people made this mad cash in the 80's & 90's. Also some of these people are trying to say that Stryker is the gold standard of the med device industry. The med device industry is littered with ex-Stryker reps in every division. Why do you think Stryker would want to hire a newbie with no med device experience and RMSR "certification"? Because the newbie doesn't know any better and Stryker needs someone they can get 1 1/2 maybe 2 years out of. My advice to a 20 something with a couple of years of sales experience is to go and work for a distributor. Be somebody's Associate Rep (bitch) for a couple of years get your experience without having the sales responsibility of a direct rep. Lot's of people make the bad decision of trying to work directly for some ankle biter med device company without any experience. You might think you are Joe Cool #1 med device rep but believe me many schmucks have tried before you and Stryker and other med device companies expect you to turn chicken shit into chicken salad. Be very selective and don't just jump at the first opportunity to get into med sales.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
